Another review: Hands-On: HTC Cosmos Elite Offers BigImprovements With Its Elite Faceplate
Overall, the Cosmos Elite and the Elitefaceplate are a great improvement for HTC’s VR line. The external trackingoffered by the Elite faceplate offers a robust VR experience and a larger playarea in which to explore. I could see this being a great tool for the workforceor for those looking for an awesome gaming experience at home. If there’s one big complaint about theCosmos or the Cosmos Elite Bundle, it’s pricing. The standard Cosmos is still$699, while the Cosmos Elite bundle is available for pre-order at $899. If youalready own a Cosmos, you can purchase the Elite faceplate for $200. But whenyou compare those prices to the Oculus Rift S and the Quest, it’s nearly doublethe cost. Yes, you’re getting better specs with the HTC Cosmos, but is theextra money worth it?
