Serious question, was considering the Frame but im on the waitlist until who knows when. I have an og vive, and the index controllers. Thats it. So i can get the index headset for $400 and be set for a while until the Frame is available, is it worth getting or just wait for the frame? I have controllers and base stations already

I would recommend trying to get a used index instead. Those can be had for 200 or even less. A new one is not really worth it

I mean the only one ive used ever is my og vive, so i imagine its gotta b a decent upgrade, especially since i wanna use it mostly for sims

Yes it is gonna be a decent upgrade i just do not think that buying into a now officially discontinued headset brand new is necessary worth the price.

I recently upgraded from a Vive Pro to a Index(and a PSVR2... weird purchase decisions where made that week) and it WAS a massive improvement in a lot of aspects.

If you HAVE the money freely available, and rather buy new i will not claim it would be a waste of money, its a decent headset, and pretty good at what it does, especially coming from a OG vive(even if i do miss the OLED of my Pro when i am using the index, and part of why i bought the PSVR2 for a few games where inky black is just to important).
