why won't this work, 300+ down the drain?

It's amazing how many people get confused by that step, even though there is literally a QRCODE on the underside of the box lid and also on the first page of the quick setup leaflet for downloading the phone app and setting up the headset 🤪.

META should be sued and boycotted

🤪🤪🤪

that would have been nice to know before I bought it. Oh well, still have an old flip phone, guess maybe I need one of my relatives to set that part up if I decide to keep it. Thank you for being helpful and not a douche.

There is NOTHING on the package that says I need an app capable phone.I just rechecked.  Hell I couldn't even find a needed list anywhere like internet or PC. The fact they require a phone app would give MORE power to suing them for tracking. They/Facebook already were sued for sharing data and settled for 725 million. As for not being able to figure it out, that would be why I mentioned a live agent, who maybe could have helped me, not an AI which just kept saying to reboot, factory reboot, etc. But I guess it was too much to think you could have figured all that out.

Under the FTC, IF A PRODUCT REQUIRES AN APP OR INTERNET CONNECTION TO FUNCTION AS ADVERTISED, THAT INFORMATION MUST BE CLEAR AND CONSPICUOUS TO AVOID DECEIVING THE CONSUMER.

 I may be special cause I expect corporations to follow  government guidelines. As for you, I think you are a jackass. No one said you had to respond the way you did, but you decided to,, so maybe a troll as well. I wasn't worried cause I looked at the box BEFORE I bought the **bleep** thing, and there was nothing extra listed, hell it's advertised as a stand alone system, was why I chose it over the PS VR system. Nothing I looked at mentioned even needing internet, but the computer cord listed I figured was for downloading games by PC I assumed. Guess I should NEVER  expect corporations to be easy to deal with.
