Buying route
Legacy hardware, mostly second-hand, with setup quirks.

Compatibility notes
- Still important editorially because camera tracking removes the need to grip a controller.
- Much of the value now is second-hand, legacy, or research-oriented rather than mainstream consumer buying.
- Setup can be quirky because this route often depends on older consoles, adapters, or older PC workflows.
