@Luciferous - The Rift -S has had positive reviews too.
Yep great entry level headset appealing to masses. I have no doubt the rift s will be a solid product.
not arguing that, appreciate convenience and price point are bigger considerations for some. I am Sure it will sell much better than the index.
Not also arguing about index price either prob about 200 too much easy.
however the knuckles give me future options. As they are independent of headset, if another headset launches in years time, I can still use knuckles.
We now now might see more headset manufacturers adopting knuckles and concentrating more on the headsets.

I agree with that bigmike. I just think Oculus has the view that that a higher spec headset probably wouldn't contribute to VR much at the moment other than to satisfy enthusiast desires.
And that's where I still have Pimax enthusiast recommendations ringing in my ears and I can't help wonder what experience they're having (ignoring any QS or price issues), what they're using their headsets for and what frame-rates they're getting with what supersampling settings etc. Are they having a high-end experience?
Here we're looking at a much more realistic offering with the Index, 20 deg increase in FOV is exactly the right move I think. But even this has trade-offs. 20 deg means 44% greater demand on GPU if PPD improvement is offered to go with that FOV increase or 20% less PPD than if the same screens were used with 100 deg.
I just wish Nvidia had made larger jumps in performance per price than it has over the last 3 years, so I could join the ranks of those being much less concerned over performance issues with titles I like to play.

Some thoughts after chewing on it, possibly a bit contradictory.
1) if oculus had released a package with those specs at those prices I am convinced there would have been an uproar due to huge price but small increase in performance esp from the oculus haters . It confuses why they (not necessarily this forum here) are claiming to be ok with index specs and price and considering getting one.
2) given how much cheaper touch is, as well as cameras for inside out tracking it does at the same time show me that oculus *could* have (maybe still could) made a rift X bundle with inside out tracking, oculus touch controls and similar hmd specs to index for £599 - £649 (going on the index hmd only price and the oculus touch price)
The specs are a nice modest upgrade but the price is blooming nuts.
(Vive pro must surely be sunk now though)
