Where to tryout/demo VR headsets? (aussie.zone)

Looking at picking up a quest 3, but want to try one out before I buy. Doesn’t seem like the usual places (JB, EB, department stores) offer any way to test them? Does anyone know of retailers who have demos?

I bought a Vive a while back to try it, and returned it when it didn't outperform my Valve Index. I highly recommend not buying a Facebook (Oculus) headset, though. Look into the insanely invasive privacy concerns.

They are cheaper because you are the product, and thus they profit off selling your private data.

The privacy issues with them are very off putting to me. Unfortunately however, there doesn’t seem to be any alternatives with similar functionality at that price though. The Valve Index isn’t available for purchase in Aus
