If I say to buy the best glasses you can pay, it is not for showing off or because the best is the only thing that is worth. If I say it it's because, like you, Casshern2, I love virtual reality. All of it. The games, the movies, the experiences ... And VR porn. And I want as many people to enjoy it too, and VR to become popular.
But I have seen too many people abandon VR for a bad experience with Google Cardboard, and with smartphone glasses. Virtual reality is physically demanding: it requires you to put screens on your eyes, and if the hardware is of poor quality, your eyes get tired, the screen is blurred, you can see the screen door effect ... And people quit VR.
This is what has happened with the VR on mobile phones, which no longer exists outside of VR porn... because the poor quality screens have killed it, and have driven people away from VR.
So I always tell people to buy the best glasses they can afford. Because that experience is going to be the best possible, and they are not going to want to leave VR as many people have done after watching blurred videos with bad screens.
