>the price is going to be higher
Once wireless is a standard I don't think adding the handful of chips to make it standalone is going to really cost that much more. Most of the overhead is going to be in manufacturing/labor and if they can get to any kind of scale on these they'll get cheaper. Standalone is pretty much necessary if they want to do larger volumes on these since not everyone will have a pc that can do VR.
Even for me a hundred or so extra is a no brainer if it means my headset could be taken anywhere.
