Wonder how much Apple paid for all these ads.

I mean, I don't think most of us commenting here are Apple ads. I think we're all hoping that if Apple is jumping into VR, then finally it'll be good enough for us all to adopt massively, the same way we all have smartphones. That's an exciting prospect, even if we don't necessarily "like" Apple.

But at $3500 for one, I think they've blown it. I'll wait for the reviews, and if it really does deliver on all the promises, then that'll be nice. Somehow, I doubt that it'll happen though.

I was talking about the posts/linked articles rather than the comments. I counted six in the first 20 posts, and the titles are mostly quite ad-like.

While I was initially interested by the announcement, the size, lack of internal battery and price makes this a hard no for me. Idk what they were thinking - doesn't anyone remember Google Glass? That was half the price and size and nobody wanted it.
