Budget VR Headset

[Kanzaki Makoto]

I want to buy a budget VR headset to play games like Beat Saber, Half life Alyx, Blade and sorcery, etc since it's now affordable after steam sales, but I don't want to spend lots of money on something that I might not like. My budget is around 5 to 6 million Indonesian Rupiah. Is there a decent VR headset for that price range?

1. Meta quest 2 might be up your alley, its the most affordable headset on the market atm
2. *God damn that conversion*

What about the Pico 4? Would that also be good? They're both similarly priced and i would be using PCVR exclusively so I don't need to take software exclusivity into account.

The Index is not a budget option by any stretch of the imagination. You'll need a set containing the headset, controllers and lighthouses, which should be roughly 17M Rupiah (1,000€ - note, I did a straight conversion, so be sure to check your local pricing)

Yeah I just rechecked and it was way out of my budget. I found a different VR headset called Pico 4. I've never heard of it, but reading through reddit. People seem to highlight it's pancake lenses and that it's better for PCVR compared to the Quest 2. Would that also be suitable? It's priced similarly to the quest 2 so it could be another option to consider
