I could afford $599 and much more. But it would be a waste of money since there's no must play games on that thing atm. And prices will drop sharply after a year anyhow, so there's no point in paying $599 now.
$600 dollars ain't shit to chad warden

This is like poetry, they ryhme. Every stanza kinda rhymes with the last one.
If I wanted, I could buy ten of them.
But until there's actually a good selection of games that I can use it with, why would I spend any money at all on it?
>mfw people seriously are pre ordering the Oculus
The Vive will be around the same price, be bundled with useful stuff, such as the controllers rather than a bunch of shit you don't need like a remote and xbox pad. It is being made and shipped by HTC, who unlike Facebook are not babby retards at shipping, so the cost will be far lower. On top of all that, the Vive is a better system.

>psvr
You still need a PS4 to use it though, so the price works out to the same if not more.
Besides, PSVR will flop because Sony themselves said that unless a game is being written deliberately to use VR it will not function correctly with it
People seem to think that PSVR will let them use their existing PS4 games and make it virtual reality. It doesn't. That isn't how it works.
I'm just going to wait. The initial launch of Oculus is going to be buggy anyways. I'll wait a couple months or so for them to drop the price and for reviews to surface.

Very informative article there
>>323007896
I don't get it. Oculus needs a beast of a PC to function really well. And then we have the PS4. A console that can barely just about do 1080p and 60fps if the game looks like shit.
Will their thing just be a worthless piece of gimmick nobody wants or are they doing something very different from the Oculus?
>>323008025
To be fair, you need a pretty high end PC to play VR. 1500 dollars seems about right.

The only reason anyone would take a Rift over a Vive is if Valve went full retarded and made the Vive cost $1000 or some shit, and even then it would be cheaper for some people due to shipping.
>>323008379
Worst of all, giving money to facebook.
>>323007473
>You still need a PS4 to use it though, so the price works out to the same if not more.
And you need a $1500 Windows PC to use the Rift. So in total you have to spend $2100.
Seriously, for this price I rather just buy a silicone loli sexdoll as they cost roughly the same.

He said that before he was bought by facebook and thought everybody must be as rich as him.

Just like the PS4 vs Xbone, the PSVR vs Rift battle will be decided by sony adopting the same strategy: doing absolutely fucking nothing.
It's already pretty bad PR move that they sold off to fucking Facebook, and now that they are adopting the PS3 marketing scheme, their last hope to stay relevant in the industry is their 1~2 months lead over the HTC Vive and ~6 months(I assume) lead over the PSVR.
Not that they give a shit. Luckey and his buddies already made bank. Oculus could go bankrupt tomorrow, they won't give a flying fuck. It's Cuckberg's problem now.

If they could sell only the essential thing, without the included controller and cables and charger, and free games, it would cost $100 less.
I think within a year of official release we will get such "lite" versions of the pack, maybe even being sold at a loss.

>Won't be out ever

>Will cost $1000
We don't know the cost yet, but if you think it'll be more than the Rift you're kidding yourself. HTC have factories to handle production better than the shitty samsung ones the Rift uses. Shipping won't be a cunt because its heading from Japan not America, and Valve have a vested interest in getting VR out there, not just in selling hardware, as they have steam as a platform for VR games. So they make money from software. Oculus don't, they need to make cash from the hardware sales.

>VR revolution
You mean the laying of the foundations for the VR Revolution to potentially, maybe, happen 5-7 years in the future, when the tech is cheaper, there are enough people who own the hardware to justify making games for it, we've gotten better at both the hardware and software through trial, testing and iterating, and the one solid killer app using new mechanics shows up?
People who buy VR before 2020 are test subjects. I mean, thanks, I love that you are enabling the growth of VR, and I hope the corpses of your wallets will feed what might end up something great down the line, but buying early is always a mistake. 3D and motion controllers were too supposed to be revolutions, remember.

I always have 2 full months worth of sallary saved up, so if my life suddenly goes to shit I won't stand helpless.

>>323012894

I'll wait for all the VR shit to come out, then decide if it's even worth it or just another "game changer" like the kinect
>>323013056
>justify making games for it
There are plenty of people making games for it. I guess by "games" you mean "Big budget shitty Ass Creed titles" and shit.
There is more than enough software, games and porn already out for the device, and a lot more is going to start hitting soon.
>>323013364

And you would have more money if you also do it in the first place? What's your point?
>>323013812
To spend money instead of saving it like a retard. Saved money is wasted money.
If you are in a crisis you can take a loan.
>>323013495
yeah fakin shit cunts m8.
>134 USD shipping

>>323013610

>>323013680
Neither of those are relevant to my country actually.
>cars have to be checked and pass a tight quality check every 2 years
>healthcare is free
I'm thinking more in the lines of my job being cut off, company going down, I decide to move across the country. I can live comfortably for 2 months without a job while I search for a new one.
Also, for example dentists are expensive as fuck here, and I need my yearly checkup. Instead of losing out on some luxury that month, I take money from my buffer and slowly fill it back up the following months.
I'm also able to help a dear family member in need. There's not a lot of people I'd loan money to, but if one of my brothers were in trouble, I'd be able to help. The 3 of us are really close, and I know he'd pay me back. I've helped both of them out of a pinch before, because I'm the best of us at handling my money, and they paid me back within 6 months.
>>323013495
>>323013878
You know what's even worse? >>323008812
>>323013493
Pretty much how I see it as well. People try to shill it and compare it to a nice display, which is fine and all, but I know I can use the display for long periods of time and actually do things on it.
I see VR as something I could use a few hours a week if it isn't a cheap gimmick. Which isn't a great value for $599 + taxes + shipping + Touch controller a few months down the road (likely $150 + taxes + shipping).
>>323013874
I'm not saying you shouldn't spend money just to save money. Hell, you don't even need to save like $500 in one go, just start small.
If you do need to spend money for gym and checkups, spend it. It wouldn't be that expensive. Save the rest
Why spend money for things you /actually/ don't need is what I'm confused at. If you don't trust bank, buy a safe
>>323013874
How is a loan not wasted money? A consumer loan is expensive as fuck, dude.
I'd rather have a safe buffer zone than pay 15% interest.

When it has an actual catalog of working games, Ill consider it. Not even a blip on the radar for me at the moment, but the potential is there.

>>323015679
When a crisis comes, I'm just going to do the same as I did years ago circa 2008.
Nothing.
That's all it took.
I have 6 years old rig, that barely runs Witcher 3 on Ultra settings. Gaming just hasn't gone up enough for me to upgrade. VR is the only reason to get new GPU and maybe CPU. So my options are either enjoying all games as before, or spend $1100+ to have a rollercoaster at my house. Not only is it expensive, but there is no necessity for it. Or useability. Its not a new TV or new phone. I'll try it once or twice and then leave it to dust.
But it will sell. PS4 has been selling with no games for 2 years now. Shitposting will move the stocks as before.

I'm one of the few people where it's different. I would spend whatever it was. Gamers are not known to be the most affluent population of people. If something's even $600, it doesn't matter how good it is, how great of an experience it is - if they just can't afford it, then it really might as well not exist. We're going for the mainstream, but time will tell what the market is.

I feel like Oculus shot themselves in the foot with this announcement. Not only are they selling it for a price that they literally said they'd never sell it for, that's just pretty costly in general. All the Vive needs to do is be less than or equal to that price, which doesn't seem like that hard of a task.

Valve don't need to profit out the shitter like Oculus does, they will be happy to get VR into peoples hands so they can make money via steam when people buy VR games.
Oculus doesn't have that luxury, which is why they've priced their shit so high, and why the controllers are not included.

It comes with its own set of complementary fleshlights. How thoughtful of them, it's like they truly understand what their target audience wants.

>>323019142
>What is the Oculus store
A place that barely anyone will use compared to steam. Don't be a retard, you can't compare the two. That'd be like saying EA could sell some headset at a loss because of origin, despite nobody using that shit if they can help it. In fact, its much worse than that.
A lot of people who buy an Oculus won't even give the store a second look, if they even know about it. Everyone knows about steam though.
Oh, and couple that with steam link. So you can VR in your living room if your PC is elsewhere. Face it, Valve can sell at a loss and not be nearly as fucked as Oculus would be.
>>323019208
It's a pretty huge jump for games that are in first person, but I'm not sure how much it has to offer for games in other perspectives.
>>323019301
>He thinks HL3 is not vaporware
Oh you're one of those retards, go back to /r/halflife.
On one hand, I don't see $600 at totally unresonable. I know what all the components in there must have cost.
Two minature screens with a very low input lag (so no TV-tier tech) 1080p each, and at a high refresh rate (so no mainstream 60Hz tech) Shit is expensive, not accounting for everything else.
TL;DR it not expensive for what it is
On the other hand, I don't want to spend £500 on it, and I won't be getting one. I don't think I would get that much enjoyment out of it. Maybe if I was in the US and not getting fucked by import duties, but they've shot themselves in the other foot with that. Half the US customer base won't get it, and now 99% of the rest of the world won't.

Have they seriously not got some warehouses on various continents to ship from? No company in their right mind is going to ship a very expensive item aimed at a global audience from just the US. Willingly losing massive swathes of your (already pretty small) customer base to import duty price hikes is just goddamn retarded.
>>323019909
oh god I cant wait
>>323019457
All eyes are on Vive now, shit's fucked.
If they can deliver the same price with non retard tier shipping cost bundled with motion controllers then shit will be goat.
Doubt that will happen however, best to wait for more manufacturers to enter the fray and release a good bang for buck option.
>>323019882
Of course, but that doesn't mean I'm going to run that risk, not when the Vive is far better tech anyway.
The only reason why anyone would be stupid enough to buy a Rift is if Valve decides to be stupid too and charge out the ass for it.
>>323020019
>when the Vive is far better tech anyway.
how can anyone say that right now?
We dont have details on either headset at the moment or what the release version of the vive will even be

>>323020132
>We dont have details on either headset at the moment
What the fuck are you talking about, both are being shown at CES. Vive has the better tech, it has had the better tech for fucking months and nothing has changed, for every improvement Oculus has made, Vive has made more.
>>323020189
people are paying $600 for VR porn RIGHT NOW
>>323019940
I fail to see why they don't, but theres no evidence they do.
If I want to currently get one in the UK its about $725, plus the motion controllers, pushes the entire system probably above $1000.
>>323019978
I am looking forward to it too, anon. I think all bets are kind of off, though. I'm not holding my breath that HTC will suddenly be able to produce a product for a far lower cost.
>>323020216
>for every improvement Oculus has made, Vive has made more.
what, with only one model even being demo'd and not changed ever since its announcement?
The only ever new model JUST being announced recently and being given to exclusive devs?
seriosuly, what details do we have for the vive that show its better than the rift?
Or vice verca?
we dont
We dont have tech specs for either headset right now
>>323020132
the walking around thing is huge. It allows genuinely new games to exist on Vive. For Rift you basically only get racing and flying games.

it probobly didnt cost them anything to add
the cost of the controllers are quite small and microsoft sells them for a large premium
it seems most people are just pissed at the $600 price tag and are latching on to any possible excuse to complain
>>323022003

That isn't what I am saying. I'm saying they added them for nothing, to boost the price and make more profit.

>>323022279

did you not see any other reason outside of muh jews?
its there to set a development standard for VR games on rift, so all devs can be sure that everyone with a rift has the same controller
>>323022535
if they arent piggy backing off mobile screen manufacturing the screens will cost a fuckton to make
>>323022537
>did you not see any other reason outside of muh jews?
Because its made by a company who is looking to make money, not friends. Don't be an idiot.
It comes with a controller because it costs them nothing, but gives them an excuse to raise the price.
It comes with a piece of shit little plastic remote that most people don't want, because its cheap to make and again can inflate the price.
It doesn't come with the touch controllers because those ARE wanted, so they'll sell them separately for more money.
>>323007678

We already know what comes with the Vive. The sensors and the controllers. Even if it costs more you're at least only buying the shit you want, not baseless shit you dont need.
How about that nifty carrying case the Oculus comes in? Oh boy, sure do look forward to carrying that around.
>>323022876
>>323023032
We already know that the tracking system is superior to the Rift's in every way.
>>323010031

I will cancel my preorder if Vive looks more worthwhile.
>>323023092
In America, $1000 would probably cover having a splinter extracted from a finger.
So many underaged kids mad because their parents wont buy them an oculus rift.
Lmao 4chan is full of povos. Get a job $600 is fucking nothing if you actually have a decent job instead of being a 16 year old on 4chan
>>323023247
if im spending $500+ on a product I want it to come in proper packaging
a lack of carrying case would actually be a huge disappointment, so much so that I want the vive to come with one too
having a case to put your headset in when not in use will be a good thing
>>323023335
>We already know that the tracking system is superior to the Rift's
do we?
The latency with both is almost identical, and as said before
the vive only does room scale better, and even then the rift can do enough movement to allow basic roomscale games
plus the rift can do room scale just as well if you add one or two extra cameras

I got to try a demo of the Vive once, and the motion controllers they had with it were actually amazing. They are tracked the same way as the helmet (I believe), and they show up in the Steam interface as blue transparent objects. The tracking made the Wii and PS Move feel like absolute shit in comparison.

Valve games are legit the best VR experiences, and that is only because people reworked the games for VR and dual motion controllers like the Oculus Touch or Vive things.
Receiver is probably also really good in VR.

If they had been forthright from the start that they were aiming for a premium priced product backlash of this scale would not have happened.
Well Dk2 has shown that it is indeed possible to make a decent budget HMD in the $350~400 ballpark without going full retard.
Problem now is there is no one big enough targeting that budget range on PC. PSVR might the equivalent on that end however the PS4 is underpowered for it requiring too many corners to be cut in the games to achieve the desired performance.

I can afford it, I just can't justify it. I have a DK2 and honestly... It's just not there yet. I can't say I had a single -good- gaming experience with VR. It was fun to fuck around with and go explore, it's great for demos / 3d video... But for games? If you've actually tried a VR headset you probably understand why this just isn't going to take off yet.
The headsets are still bulky and uncomfortable. 1080p is NOT good enough of a resolution for true immersion. 90fps getting more in the ballpark at least. Interfacing with menus etc is a major issue. Right now the only truly functional VR experiences are the simplest of games which have very little replay value. And well honestly, there's no VR experience out there (yet) that really pulls you in.
It's a new medium and it's going to be awhile before anything decent is made for it. It's a whole new craft that needs to be mastered by an industry that is so stuck in it's ways that it can only rehash Asscreed for the 15th time.
I'd say the only viable games for VR are racing/flight right now. So yeah, TLDR: I just don't think the Rift is worth the money yet. The next gen of HMDs will be a much better experience and there might be some content for it by then. Other than fucking Miku porn which I can already enjoy with my DK2.
>bitter sony fanboys recycling old memes against the competition
>>323036280
I'm honestly thinking PSVR is the better bet. Oculus isn't gonna have shit for content, no thought out method of interfacing -still-... And $600? For what? Why do I need your shitty controller and garbage tier games? The HMD itself is worth maybe $350~400. I was hyped about VR a couple years ago. But nothing new is being done as far as actual games. Nothing has been solved to make this a realistic platform yet.

Oculus has been an open platform for years now. What have we seen come from it? Nothing anyone actually gives a shit about.
I believe Sony has more of a vested interest to make it work for gamers, where as Oculus doesn't really give a shit about games since facebook came into it. They're going to let big companies find a use for it. I don't for see any long-term gaming support coming from oculus based on what we've seen thus far.

The fact that it's $600 isn't even the biggest issue, you're failing to mention the minimum system specs which basically require you to throw away that rig you built in 2014 if you want to play games with the Rift without vomiting.
