It's not, but you do get what you pay for. If it's just something to play around with, no point in spending real money. But if it's something you expect to use seriously, there's no comparison between the cheap toys and a real unit.

Just off hand, the major difference is the pretty bad smearing on the LCD when things are moving, as well as the lack of motion controllers. The cheap ones are ok for seated controller based experiences with slow activity. But that's pretty much it. As much as I don't like FB, the original Quest is probably 50-100x better than the cheap unit, at 10x the price.

I don't care what the differences are and I'm well aware from most of them. I just found it baffling that we bought these things as a toy and somebody chimes in and says a $200 unit is cheaper. Now could it be a better bang for your buck? I guess you could argue that, but that's not what he said.

I think he was factoring in your time ;)
