Nevahhhhh!

This is the only VR headset I've ever owned or tried, so I have zero authority to say how it compares to others on the market. I read a bunch of forum threads about different headsets and made a list of pros and cons. I'm happy with the Index, if that counts? As for what will be available at christmas time--I don't know if Steam plans on releasing an updated version of the Index before then. The Vive series seems to churning out new versions of their headsets like they're an automobile manufacturer. >_> Also, you listed a bunch of games. I don't know what headset pros & cons apply to those different games. I was looking at the Index for reasons specific to VTOL VR. Other headsets might have better pros for other games. Some forum threads mentioned other headsets/headset makers like Pimax or HP Reverb having better pixel densities and FOVs than the Index. Just gotta do your research. :)

I wouldn't order power plug adapters from Valve/Steam. (I can't imagine why they would sell them anyway.) Just buy basic outlet adapters from a store where you would buy such things normally. The only Valve Index parts needing supplementary power (ie a power plug) are the laser base stations. Their plugs are the simple 2 prong type and both prongs are the same size: hopefully you shouldn't need a complex American-specific 3 prong adapter.

Oh my!

@@ArchaicAlibi hey i bought my valve index its coming on wensday but it didnt say install content for half life alex what do i do

​@@jacobcorrea6827 Hey, Jacob. That sounds like something you should take up with Steam Support. I'm not knowledgeable enough about this stuff to tell you what's wrong. All I can tell you is what happened for me. I bought the full kit (I think Half Life comes with certain purchases, maybe not others?) and my purchase confirmation told me I had the game available in my library. I think I restarted Steam to see it, though, don't remember for sure.

@@ArchaicAlibi ok thanks
