And average is only that high due to a small group of greedy people not paying their staff well. Most people are earning much less than £35k too.
Scuba or future looking? Make up your mind.
Two weeks pay? You’re joking right?
The way nobody even cares at this point. Sad!
Then why are you wasting your time here? When I’m totally not interested in something it gets zero of my attention. I’m gone!
here in australia - AUD 6000 base price and it goes up from there.
nah - not even at 1/2 that asking price …
(gshocked beat me to it
)Probably the same as in the US close to zero returns
That picture illustrates how there's no possible way to not look like a big dork while wearing this thing. It's like riding on a Segway: sure, it's a fun experience, but man do you look goofy while using it!
Zero hype in the UK for this trash, I'm sure some idiots on social media will buy it for the 2 week period then return them after clicks like everyone else.
you'd have to be a complete shill/sheep to buy this, utter cringe.
What a diabolical failure by Tim.

It’s probably the same “
Interest rate hikes, a cost of living crisis, rampant inflation after the covid money printer going brrrr, and significant job losses driven by companies downsizing or automating through AI.
Doesn’t take much market research to understand that with all of that going on, people do not have the desire nor the financial means to drop AU$6,000 on a first-gen novelty product with a (as it currently stands) questionable use case.
I had a demo earlier this week here in Bath.
I was the only person that day booked in for a demo.
Well, it was astonishing. The technology is quite frankly jaw dropping.
No Tim Apple, I did not tear up.
However, I will not be buying one anytime soon.
I do feel for the sales reps. The guy tried so hard to hype me up… but I am nearly 40 years older than him and what would have me opening my wallet back then doesn't anymore.
Apart from watching movies and "consuming" content there is no use case for me.
Still, I cannot see this being a huge success beyond a very select group of people.
Edit:
One thing did stand out for me… Photos. Bloody hell! They look absolutely brilliant. But a £4,000+ ViewMaster is just not realistic.
Edit 2:
If you can, go and try one. It's an experience.

But yet the trolls express their dissatisfaction in every AVP thread.
We get it. It’s too high priced for most. They literally tell us AVP users in every thread posted about it.
It is technically impressive for sure
But like you said, the use case for most people will be content consumption, and at that price.. most would rather buy a MacBook or a huge OLED TV. It doesn’t have a value proposition for most consumers at this time. It might take years for this to change and the cost come down.
I think despite it being a great device… it will take a while to take off. Reminds me of the first Apple TV actually… a great device that just didn’t get much traction until later iterations when streaming really took off.
Agreed. Unfortunately, any mention of VP in an article attracts wet blankets like a moth to a lightbulb.
I see AVP like a first class transoceanic flight, which costs thousands of dollars for a luxury experience. Many can’t afford. Their option is to fly in economy and deal with cramped seats. Those people can afford the MQ3.
They need to cut the price in half on this product family, like, yesterday.
At $4000 after everything, this is a dev kit available at retail -- not a product family.
Once a gadget costs north of $1500 maybe $2000... the number of people with that kind of disposable income to piss away drops off a cliff.

Great tech demo, but is there a single practical use for it? Hopefully by the time the cheaper version arrives there will be.
Lol, in the Netherlands it is a bit over a month's worth of salary (average and excluding taxes, so actually more than a month worth of salary). Of course people do not want to fork over ~10% or more of their yearly income on a gimmick...But probably you will see the same burst of "content creators" buying in the first two weeks and sending them back after said "content" is created.
