    Without the ability to watch porn on it, it will not be mainstream. They are the Betamax of the DVD wars.

        Yes it does, but it isn’t immersive. It’s basically the same as looking at a screen. 3D basically makes you the center of the porn. Put your face closer to the boobies. Look at the clock on the wall?

        I remember seeing a 3D porn video where a mosquito let it on the male actor’s thigh and he proceeds to kill it. It was awesome.

        To be fair, there was also the HD-DVD and BluRay war, so they could be talking about two separate wars. Probably not, but that’s how I choose to interpret it.

          For what it’s worth, that particular format war, the format backed by more porn studios (HD-DVD) actually lost to the one with less porn backing (Blu-ray). Personally I think that the PS3 tipped things over the edge.

            That’s too bad, porn companies generally have pretty good taste in tech. Also:

            Disney and Fox were both impressed by the extra DRM (BD+ and region coding) that the Blu-ray Disc format provided on paper.

            So it came down to DRM and the PS3.

        Not 3D porn. Just regular like you’re looking at a monitor.

          I don’t watch porn, but you’d better believe I downloaded some 35GB 3D pron when I got my Index. If I DID watch porn, it would be the only kind I would ever watch. Incredible.

              Hella agree, I understand it’s complicated… but if I was into pron and it worked, what better a device?! I trust it’s more secure than Facebook shit, and it doesn’t need to be tethered to a computer strong enough to render a more-than-4k video that’s like 20-40GB?! While it’s still too expensive, the customer base would be WAY HIGHER.

              I say this as a windows/linux user that uses an iPhone and iPad because their mobile devices are stellar. I’d never get a Vision Pro but they’re really missing out on a huge market of horny peeps

                I agree with you on almost everything. I don’t trust Apple or any big corp that sole(or soul) purpose is profits.

                I trust the USPS more than Apple.

                It’s ok to watch porn.

          okay, yea porn apps are not going to be allowed on the appstore. Does Oculus even have any in their store?

          For either headsets you can still go through Steam link though, or sideload 'em

            It’s based on Android. So you basically sideload it by going to the 3D porn’s website. So ya. 3d porn is great.
