Probably, dude. Especially if they made comments like that. Multi-million dollar companies talk with each other all the time. Facebook/Oculus are probably working rather closely with HTC/Valve so they can work together to corner a new market.

I could be wrong, and I'll eat my words if I do. But realistically HTC probably knew the price the moment Oculus decided on it.

I am wondering if even the same gen will be better and cheaper if one waits for the 2016 holiday season.

Fatal flaw:
The Oculus software hates your freedom. It is not free as in freedom.

Minor flaw:
By calling it the "Consumer Kit", the product further corroborates the stereotype of the passive and powerless who willingly submit to the powers that be. It should be called "Citizen Kit" or "Mass-Produced Kit" instead.

>>52270727

First they introduced the dev kits which were relatively cheap. Lots of devs got on board. Development on ports has been underway for a few years. Everyone is excited.
Today Oculus announced the final product which is so much out of reach for consumers that developers won't be selling many copies of their games. This means developers have been investing in technology not a lot of people will be getting anytime soon.
I think Playstation VR is having a blast today. Not only will that platform be cheaper and more popular, all the devs who have been making Oculus games will simply port to PS4.
VR of PC can still happen, but not with this price point and not with this approach. Clunky hardware, too many wires, terribly complicated setup, and not the price ($599 or €699).

More like €1000. You need to run your games at 90fps not one screen but two (2x 1080×1200).

>>52270771
C-can I suck yours? I'm quite experienced with sucking my own and I'm confident in my dick-sucking skills.

>>52270731
If it didn't have lenses, you'd have to focus at a tiny monitor a few centimeters from your eyes. That's somewhere between extremely uncomfortable and plain impossible.

It's not as easy as you think. Especially if your game uses DirectX and C#, it will be impossible to do it.

It will happen, people are buying rifts and people are releasing games for it. Not everyone is poor and setup doesn't look bad.

fucking idiots.

they spent YEARS lowballing everyone and saying it would be around $350. now the vive could potentially cost less than the rift.

am i really expected to believe that oculus have all that fucking facebook money and they couldn't subsidize the cost of the headset? nobody's going to adopt at that price, the rift is as good as dead in the water

I'm so fucking mad right now. I backed the kickstarter for a DK1, but changed my mind at a last minute and backed a small cash amount without a reward, fully intending to get a rift a few weeks later when ordinary preorders opened instead, and I did.

That tiny decision, and even though I still did support their kickstarter, now cost me $1100.

I was talking about Oculus implying that you need a i7 to run it.

>>52271053
I think the hardware reqs are fine, but they have to recognize that due to that the rift itself cannot be expensive at the same time.

The only good reason I see here, is that this is an advanced beta testing, and they dont want widespread adoption or many people would be pissed off.

They want people with the best systems to beta test this first, after which, they'll lower the price and claim some new "update" is allowing for slightly lower specs to work, maybe.

Would only be logical even without the "premium experience" talk - the Vive will apparently come with the controllers included, while Zuckerstein will sell the Oculus Touch seperately in Q4 (probably for a bargain $299 plus taxes and shipping).

>>52271023
It's not even just $599. You apparently need to spend another $700+ dollars for a fucking 970 and Intel's latest CPU to run 1080p screens plastered on your face "optimally".

Keep spending, good goy.

This is a scam of the century.

to be honest Id rather have good VR and more expensive rather than shitty cheap VR

emerging technology is always pricy

>>52271146
I think its smart if they lower the price to the stable price for the fall-holiday season, but if they hold this price for a while, they'll quickly stop making money once the idiots buy it up.

esp since the existence of VR will only make nice gaming monitors cheaper probably.

>>52271146
It'll fail simply from accessibility. Its because of it being such a high price for a new barrier of technology that's going to kill it when anyone would simply use the same money for another phone or anything like that, and thats before getting into the price of having a pc that can use this.

If you own one of these, then you don't need a computer monitor so that's a saving of 250 right there. So on balance the cost of the rift is like 350 which is very reasonable.

i'm not even poor i'm just good with money. i also happen to work at a fucking technology company that produces parts that may very well be being used in the rift\vive.

first off, you would have to be totally braindead to buy the CV1 at that price, especially with the vive announcement at some point this quarter

secondly, hardware for game consoles [and new tech in general] has been subsidised and sold at a loss for years in order to encourage people to adopt. instead of doing that, they've basically marked it up by 100%, given what the developer kits (with their more limited production runs) cost. sony were selling the ps3 at 599 for a loss for years.

VAT will be charged on import, before you select a country they state $600 without shipping and without tax, after selecting a country it goes to the new price, and just says without shipping. It's quite normal for the company to handle the tax on their side, and put that into the price, even when exporting.

>>52271359

I did even better:

> Bought a MSI GT Laptop with laptop fitted Full GTX 980 (Rift Compatible): $2900

No, that's not normal at all. If I order a rift I will be charger an import tax, I guarantee it, never have the tax to my country at import been handled by the foreign seller, that's nonsense. So that means I will be charged tax twice.

I'm getting my CV1 for free since I backed the Kickstarter at $300. This also means I have a DK1 I can sell, and the dev kits should continue to sell at a decent price since the CV1 is priced as high as it is. When all is said and done, I will profit ~$200 and have a CV1.

You want to call people with more discretionary income than you idiots and fanbois and Oculus assholes for charging so much. They're selling out and the wait list is already growing past 2 months. This means not only is the price not too high, but it could have been higher.

They are running a for profit business. If you can't shell out $600 for something that was $2000+ 3 years ago, you are not the customer they want anyway. Go buy a Samsung phone and cardboard box with some curved glass in it.

Half of the fun is discussing and playing with others

Is there a reason people are surprised by the price? Early adopters always pay the asshole tax. In 2 years when there's a better, cheaper version being released, then we'll see a broader adoption. $399 is going to be the magic number for the first real wave of VR adoption.
