I suppose the hardware and software designed itself huh?
This is babby level shit, there's more to a product than bill of material cost you ninny.

>It should just cost the price of hardware, not the assembly, design or software on it.
How can you even be this ignorant?

OP thinks the tech he buys costs a few dollars less than retail price to make.

>>55906301
>a team of atlteast 30 top engineers worked 4 years on the design of the headset
>WHY DOESN'T IT COST 200$

the headset is still a bargain like palmer said

OP, did you actually expect ((Zuckerberg)) to NOT JEW you?

Have you not been paying ANY attention for the past 10 years?

So 150$ more expensive than iPhone yet sells for less?

It looks like everyone on /g/ agrees OP is retarded

>>55906301
Well fucking duh.
You can get a 1080p panel in single quantities for $20, a gyro and mipi to hdmi board combined for $30, a case for $20, some nice fabrics for $10, lenses for $10, and a power adaptor for $5.
That's a <$99 VR headset.
Throw in all the shit like a camera, IR tracking, an xbox remote, all that shit, yeah, $200.
I just want someone to make a basic VR set and sell it for $199.
>>55906692
No, it was payed for by kickstarter backers.
Your bullshit fucking argument justifying a 400% markup doesn't work here.
>If it costs more than $400 we've failed
That was oculus two years ago. In most cases it's double that.

> >they should eat up R&D and software costs
Oculus was acquired by Facebook and Zuckerberg claimed they wanted mass adoption. They definitely should.
