Coco Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Apparently it's €699 in Ireland. Ridiculously high price point, but they'll likely still sell decent numbers at launch. I don't expect the average gamer/consumer to jump at that price though. I really hope that the PSVR is much more moderately priced. If either Sony or HTC come in at around £200-300, they'll sell very well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Oculus Rift is going to be a niche product going by the recommended PC specs. The majority of people use tablets, smart phones, laptops, low spec PCs and games consoles. Apart from dedicated PC gamers not many people will have a PC with good enough specs to use Oculus Rift. Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 970 / AMD R9 290 equivalent or greater Processor: Intel i5-4590 equivalent or greater Memory: 8GB+ RAM Output: Compatible HDMI 1.3 video output Input: 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port Operating system: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit or newer So you use it for xbox, but need a pc for it? No. It comes with an Xbox One controller to use with a PC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Ordered, at the end of the day even if I decide not to keep it I can likely sell it for much more than I'm paying. I got a DK2 when it came out for £300, played with it for a month and sold it on ebay for £750. New orders for this have already slipped to May, so I'm sure I can find someone desperate enough to give me loads of cash for mine if I decide to sell Anyway looking forward to getting it, the DK2 was great and CV1 looks to be improved in every way.

BlueStar Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Before Facebook come on board, wasn't it meant to be affordable VR for the masses, not fantastic, high-end VR that only super-nerds and professional streamers can justify buying? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthyaddiction Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 They were originally talking about it being at a much lower price point. I'm not sure if Facebook specifically caused the price hike, surely they would be more interested in a more general consumer device? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I always felt the £350 price point they mentioned was unrealistic for the technology involved like. Having played on one I think £500's pretty fair; VR will completely reshape gaming once it becomes mainstream, the level of immersion is completely unmatched and it'll open up brand new genres and all sorts. If the final model eliminates motion sickness I'll be all over it me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I might be wrong but i feel gaming is just a gateway with VR and it's more interesting possibilities involve other things entirely. I don't particularly believe that gaming will be considered it's main use a few years down the line when people have it in their homes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Having all that cash would make me invest at least 30 mins a day to be sans-moobs. But, maybe it's the ill-fitting primark tee. Sorry Facebook boss. He works out, to be fair: "Staying in shape is very important. Doing anything well requires energy, and you just have a lot more energy when you're fit," he responded. "I make sure I work out at least three times a week — usually first thing when I wake up. I also try to take my dog running whenever I can, which has the added bonus of being hilarious because that basically like seeing a mop run." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
