    That's insane.
    I wish they'd have a version that included just the headset. I don't care about the controllers and games

    $900? Yeah no. To put things into perspective a lot of people only make "$11" per hour here, aka $8 after income taxes and other BS. Even if I shat gold I wouldn't buy that. They truly are delusional.

    How much you guys want to bet each unit costs them less than $50 taking every factor into consideration?

    Well, this is good. It will die out sooner like 3D and full motion video.

    Yeah I'm out, I was willing to stretch to £400 but £500 is too high, will wait and see if they lower the price, I think they've made a big mistake, so many people raging over on the forums.

    Man so not worth it. For that price you can upgrade some parts on your gaming rig.

    For that price you can build a modest gaming rig.

    And this is how VR died, not with a bang, but with a price tag

    So is it dead even before it comes out? sure looks that way with setting the price this high they pretty much shoot themselves in the foot and gave htc/valve and razor a huge lead if they play their cards right

    Yeah well I tried to find a source on google that someone wouldn't bitch and moan about.

    I guess my gamble didn't pay off.

    Good job belittling someone though!

    I don't understand everyone crying about the price.

    If it's worth having, then it should give me better (gaming) experience than my monitor, yes?
    Then its a worthy replacement for an LCD and EUR700 is cheap as ***.

    I'm not buying it for a simple reason that I'm not wearing a *** helmet, not because of measly EUR700.

    The bigger problem here, why do they not list the final specification on the website?

    Wow, that price is absolutely insane. I was actually holding out on a Rift as my belated Christmas present. I thought it would be roughly the same price as the DK1. Welp, one less sale.
