    >There's also an annual fee of $180.

    It sounds like this model is targeted at business users. I expect most VR enthusiasts that care about privacy to the extent of $500 + $180 per year would never buy something from Facebook anyway.

    I wonder if this is a firmware patch that can be applied to the cheap/evil version.

    It is also interesting in that it places a dollar amount on privacy.

    Along with a $180/yr service charge.

    Funny I just setup my Quest 2 today. Made a fresh facebook account with a new email and chose a fake name and birthday. Breaking the FB ToS is NOT a crime. Why would anyone pay an extra $500, and then $180/yr when the worst that can happen is the $300 headset gets bricked/banned? This is a stupidity tax.
