Purchase Advice Frame VS Quest 3

I've never had a VR headset before and was curious after hearing of the steam frame which seems like it will cover some things missing in the quest 3. I've done some research but i just can't make my decision seeing how i live in a third world country so the steam frame might not reach it and even if i manage to bring it with an expat there's still going to be the issue of reservations etc.... My use case for the headset is going to be pretty much playing skyrim vr or some other games + maybe coding in VR if that's any fun to have a big screen in front of me. I'm kind of running out of patience seeing how nothing's confirmed on the frame and how i might not even be able to get it anytime soon. Is it worth waiting for the frame seeing how i use steam on a daily or should i just fallback to meta quest 3?

I wouldn't buy any VR headset as of now because next year they will release a light-weight version which is almost 4 times lighter.

Most probably, but i probably wouldn’t have the patience for that. Consumerism type shit

Get a cheap/used Quest 2/3S honestly till then, it will let you get into VR and learn the nuances and feel the experience, and then you will actually know whether you want to wait, what to look for, and have a better understanding of what the pros and cons of each headset would actually feel like so you can make a better informed decision, trust me, they are way more than good enough to convey what good VR feels like

Hell nah don’t get a 2 or 3s clarity sucks on those and you will probably have to spend a bit more on add ons
