Jay, that's $600 WITHOUT tax OR shipping.

Cheap at twice the price I'd not say!

Not sure what to make of VR if I'm honest... I lost the "Oh wow, them graphics are amazeballs" horn quite some time ago.

And there again, I quite liked 3D tele, and looked what happened there... Bombed!

So, for me, jury is still out, well, until I get to have a go, then it'll be "yeah, cool", "Mmmmm it's alright" or "HUUUURGGEHH" [With complimentary carrot]

Any which way, I'll probably never buy one!

If it were £200, I might've had a go, but £600...? Given that I can't play GTAV on a 2D screen without getting motion sick, I really doubt that VR is for me!!!
They've completely priced that wrong, IMO. It's well out of 95% of user's range.
I honestly thought that was the whole point of Facebook getting involved, to ensure this becomes a commonplace thing, but.. .. At that price?! Guess not. :\

Oh, and just so's I can get this off my chest..
"The fuck!? The actual fuck?! They got TWO BILLION DOLLARS ALREADY.. Make that fucking thing cheaper, you cheap fuckers.."

Thing is, the dev kit 2 was about a third of the price of the release version. That's the confusing factor to me on the price.

I know my old compy wouldn't be able to deal with it so, nope, I'm not shelling out a grand on a new compy and a further £500 for the rift. Unless I strike it lucky with monies sometime soon of course
