The idea that everyone who spends $3500 for a bleeding-edge device is surely spending $10k for a first class ticket is absurd.

Business class from Seattle to Tokyo is only $6k these days. That is compared to $1500 in economy though. Even if I could afford this new VR system, I still couldn’t afford international business class.
If I could choose between having THC gummies on a long distance flight in economy, vs first with all this fancy VR gear... ha. No contest.
I know HN is generally people that make decent money in tech, but $3500 for most people is a lot of money, especially for a first-generation unproven product. You are much more likely to find a person in business class that is buying this than a person in coach. That's just a fact. Meanwhile, there is no reason to wear the headset in first or business class because you aren't trying to escape the grim realities of the airplane.
