You said “I don’t know where this $1000 myth comes from”. I explained, in one sentence, where it comes from. It’s also not a myth, because it is an actual product.

The Valve Index costs $999 for the kit. It’s not a myth.

Do you guys not have $1,000 VR headsets?

Those same people have watched VR largely stagnate for years as nothing of interest has come out and nothing exciting enough to garner wider public attention has happened. The reason they’re saying “How could you do this?” is because it will be one single game they want and then the VR set will just sit there…

I think most people just have no interest in VR regardless of the games for it.

I absolutely positively 100% agree, but I also feel a little sympathy since I’m one of the idiots who bought in waaaaay back in 2013 and have gone through the entire cycle of holding on to various iterations of the hardware for 5 years before deciding to bail last year since there was no sign that a real killer app…

The melting ice is a “nice” touch.

I’m an old man. I need a TV setting that will respond to me saying, “What have I seen that guy in?” with, “He was in a season 7 episode of SVU. He played a character who was skeezy as hell but not the actual killer. You fell asleep before the end.”

These are the same people that have no concept of what makes a good TV and just buy the biggest they can afford.

Or Shitty Filmmaker mode, in which every movie you watch is directed by Uwe Boll and stars Gerard Butler.

That’s usually caused by some manner of 3d surround sound being fed through the crappy internal speakers on the TV. I missed Hannibal completely due to a combination of poor audio settings and Mads Mikkelsen filling his mouth with marbles.  Try turning off any extra settings beyond Stereo,  

I would also like the “I can’t hear the dialogue mode”. Instead of turning my TV up to 60% and having my neighbors blasted by music and explosions. 

Next up: Film Critic Mode, which will add captions below every scene explaining why your taste in movies sucks.

There's a rule in advertising that a slogan or logo must be observed at minimum 27 times before it even registers. You just reminded me of it.

The more you repeat an idea the more people accept it.

You need counterattack! "Ahh this steak is soooo well cook, just juicy enough and flavorful. MMMMM. So good man."

Daaamn, bro. HAIRPINZZ??

I do this one unintentionally. I want to convince someone of something so I get excited at first: "oh yeah! that'll work and save you money!" Then I feel a little guilty and worried that it might not actually work and I say: "But the upgrade isn't that expensive and will be good if x and y and x". Then I feel…

Something you don't mention here is the most powerful technique I have ever used in 30 years of sales: The takeaway close.
