      Yeah, my thoughts exactly. When I saw it I was interested, until I saw the price. It probably is worth it but I can’t justify it for myself

    where exactly is the 190 going to go? is the quality in the room with us? cause I’m having trouble understanding why a white, plain looking plastic shell and generic gamepad circuit board is worth 190 dollars.

    I bought a VM2. DreamMods makes high-quality products, but they’re a small company based in Greece, and getting their product through customs is apparently extremely time-consuming (read: months).

    expected to launch within Q4 2024

    If you order at launch, expect to receive one in Q1 2026.
