So Facebook login requirement is set to expire in Aug, but then there will be the Horizon Worlds login requirement to take it's place... with a substantial price hike on the headset.

Cheap pricing is the only reason I went with this so that is a very STUPID move and will cost them sales cause that login requirement is GARBAGE I only tolerated due to price, though I plan to sideload that login crap out soon.

Same here it fit my budget luckily my wife has a fake book acct and I logged it in there.   I did just purchase a used reverb g2 ver 1 from ebay for $130 from a electronics store"electronicsisters" out or Texas I believe. It was just the headset with strap no cable or face gasket. A few scuffs on the outside but lenses were scratchfree and clear. Plus a 30day return shipping on me.  Last I looked they had 6 or 7 left Headset cable and facegasket I'm in at around $280.  So far they have been working fine I've messed around a little bit with DCS but I"m waiting for a new video card for my old computer going from a 1070 to a 3060. I can only run 1/2 resolution right now
