If you’ve got a use for it and can justify it, enjoy.

It’s unlikely to ever be on my shopping list to be honest, there’s other things I enjoy.

Yep, it costs a bundle right now. It sort of means to me that it will take a few years to lighten them up and also make them for lower price. For sure everyone would love to have them if they were $600.00, but that's not going to happen maybe ever. So many cameras in there and weird hemispherical eyeball laser projector things inside. It's cool stuff.
 
Cool toy/novelty, but I don't know anyone that will buy one, and I know some seriously rich people. 😅

Edit: Perhaps their children might? Maybe that's the target market? Spoilt children of rich folk.

How… how exciting. /s

Yeah… Good luck with that.

£4,000+ for a one person piece of tech with pretty much zero reason to exist?

Perhaps Apple really are only catering for the 1%, but right now in the UK things are not good.
NHS on its knees, consumer prices rising through the roof… food bank queues.

But, OTOH, who knows. 🤷🏻‍♂️

London is stuffed full of Oil money, Russian oligarchs and City boyz ready to splash the cash. You know, Tim's kinda people.
I guess they'll be queuing up.

Thought the same, people here in the UK are going to love this.

Sure we can't afford food and you might be paying new months electricity bill in 2027 but yeah 4k headset with no practical use whatsoever.

To be honest I don’t think I’d buy it at £600 either as it’s not really my sort of thing. I’d have a go with someone else’s though. Other Apple products interest me more for that sort of money.
