Till then VR will remain a shit show, all this does is feed research and development teams. It's a cool concept, but that's what this product's sole purpose is. To generate revenue to further research.

I have loads of money in the bank. Just because I can afford it it doesn't make the thing a reasonable purchase. The price is just too high relative to the value of it.

With a console or a PC, or other peripherals, or even a $500 phone, it can be justified. You get a lot more usage out of them than you will with a VR headset.

federal minimum wage is 7.25

assuming you were to get a McJob to afford the OR, you would need to make about 650 after taxes.

Since taxes vary so much between states, I'll just use my own, which is 16.2% on incomes less than 20k yearly.

You would need to work 106 hours without buying anything else to afford the OR, for a part time job that is roughly a month and a half.

You don't seem to realize most Americans have shit jobs right now.

Now, where I live the minimum wage is $10.84 because of stupid-high rent costs. My shitty unsound-proofed apartment costs 900 a month not including utilities. Because it has poor heat insulation as well, heating bills can balloon up to 150 a month, if not higher. Internet is $50 a month. Put water and electricity on top of that, my monthly bills, when split with my roommate are $555 a month, not including food expenses and gas, or any emergency purchases needed.

Most places won't let you work more than 25 hours a week to avoid paying benefits. I maybe save 200 a month after expenses. That's not comforting to spend 3-months savings on something like this.

are minimum sys. reqs. still 970/290? i wonder what are the recommended?
what resolution do they use there?

The biggest impact is in retail stores that frequently have employees paid at minimum wage that have to adjust to the change.
While the basic costs of living such as housing, electricity, and water are largely unaffected, the cost of consumer products and even food adjusts at a very close rate.

capitalism is what will bring the price down though.

if no one is stupid enough to buy it, that is.

>>322906963

Wait until they have competition
See how their shop looks and works like
See if the actual games are worth a shit

Once they arent the only one in the market they'll have to stop with this blatant jewery, they want to catch the early adopters who ALWAYS get burnt.

How are they delivered?

Anyone here working at UPS?

Anyway to get away with ruining the occulus inside its package?

The whole lot would cost me $1,000+. All this for a novel untested experience in a handful of games.

That's 4K TV money.
That's enough to buy several high-end headphones.
That's enough to buy two damn good prosumer monitors.
That's enough to buy every current-gen console.
That's enough to but a PS4, PSVR, and a handful of games.

It costs more than a PS4 with a year of PS+ and a game.

They were, until they pulled a PS3 and thought "good enough isn't good enough". Remember how most Youtubers who gave the Rift mainstream appeal were running DK1s off of laptops and Macs? Now they've alienated the entire mainstream market by creating a headset solely for the highest of high end consumers. They thought they were important enough to pull an Apple and get by selling nothing but flagship products.

The good news, though, is that anyone who sells a cheaper unit will eat their lunch.

>>322906059
I bought the old school dk1 as a gimmick to see what it was all about and I was quite impressed with it so I'm preordering.

I've also grown up during the golden age of hl2 mods so the transition to unreal has been silky smooth. So while you guys bitch about scams, nogames and poorfags I'mma be sitting in the corner of my room playing whatever I feel like.

You should guys should check out unreal/unity. Making "games" is no where near as complicated as it used to be, it's evolved to the point where you can learn more from some 15 year olds youtube channel then you ever will in a university. And if you ever want to expand your development onto the VR train it's literally checking off a box.

>Two high res, high performance displays : 300 dollars
>acceleromotor and gyroscope: 30 dollars
>decent headset: 60 dollars
>amp and dac: 40 dollars
>camera: 60 dollars
>IR leds: 10dollars
>Wiring: 35 dollars
>xbone controller: 60 dollars
>plastic shell with straps: 10 dollars

So around 600 dollars. Facebook is probably eating 15 to 20 dollars per unit

>>322908191
try exploring it sometime, there's a lot of good breweries and bars and some good food places

>>322908660
because a pc is not only used for games

>>322908580
My guess was $499. That's not unreasonable.

>>322897475 (OP)
Why are you people surprised? If it cost any less they wouldn't have hid the price the way they did.
This is new technology of course it's going to be expensive as shit just wait 2/3 years for the price to drop like a sain person.

>>322908756
And?

>>322908660

only poorfags who spend their days playing MOBAs on a toaster are complaining.

>>322908660
Because they're entitled pieces of shit. They wait for Steam sales so they can get get games for $5.

>>322907704
well the no games thing is bullshit, there are 24 titles being developed by oculus alone. Not that it justifies a $599 purchase

Sorry to break it out, but VIVE will be more expensive than Oculus.

The best part is it doesn't even come with motion controllers, you will have to pay for those separately later this year and guess how much you will have to pay for those fucking things if you look at the rift price.
