[Steel]

Hmmm... Just ran the compatibility test and it says my USB ports wouldn't work for it.... But I have 8 usb 3.0 ports. Wah?

 

[Broken Joystick]

wow

you could buy a PS3 with that money


lol @ UK price

 

[The Elite]

$914 Canadian all in.

I ordered. I think my girlfriend is going to kill me if she ever finds out how much I spent.

I don't care.

Goodbye real world.

Thanks to the person who told me to set up an account ahead of time.

 

[Z3M0G]

Ok so why do we expect PSVR to be cheaper? This doesnt have the attached cpu box that PSVR does...

$840 Canadian

Holy goddam ficking shit

 

[hawkeyye293]

$600 + Gaming PC.. lol

Yep, that's my situation. Not going to happen. Although im sure in time we will start to see Alienware or Dell or whatever packages that include the OVR at a discount.

 

[Killthee]

FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U.S. DOLLARS

Seriously getting some huge PS3 announcement flashbacks.

 

[ArchAngel]

NOPE!

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

I feel pretty good about my $275 kickstarter backing.

You are one of the real winners today lol I really regret not backing this back at the time

 

[Bollocks]

well, they just gave Sony the upper hand

 

[BRocknRolla]

Wow.


I hope PSVR is cheaper.

It will be. Substantially so, I'm guessing.

It's just a matter of how substantial. $299 sounds like the sweet spot to me, but that's half the price so it's perhaps a bit ambitious to expect. My only fear is that this will embolden Sony to do $400 now.

well, they just gave Sony the upper hand

There should never have been any doubt about this. This is for the ethusiats among enthusiasts, not the average person. PSVR is going to target the wider audience.

 

[low-G]

That's a real shame, I was starting to get hype and they just put a bullet in its head.

Yeah, some fanatics will pay at this price, but I'm really doubting the Oculus will be viable. They won't be able to get enough of a foothold to change anything.

 

[cyress8]

Thank god one of them finally released a price. The others will follow very soon now. Come on Vive, pull a Sony.

 

[dk_]

741€ with shipping to Germany.


FUCK YOU!

 

[Shoyz]

And I thought my 550 guess was generous.

I'd have sucked it up if they were shipping soon (Jan), but as late as possible instead (March)? Back to waiting on Vive..

 

[Deleted member 245925]

Shows as $59900 for me, gonna need a tenth job.

 

[Effect]

Uh oh... Feels like PS3 all over again.

There are only two times in my gaming life that I can remember having a "holy shit" moment in disbelief. The first was the price for the PS3 and the second was today. Funny enough it's the same price point. Wow.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

what's with the "rip vr" comments? this was always going to be niche just because of the system requirements, it'll sell well with an audience that's less price sensitive.

vr was never going to go mainstream until a few years down the line when mid-range computers are better and they've driven down the headset cost.

Even stuff like DVD players were insanely expensive at first. Launch of new hardware is almost always going to be for enthusiasts and priced accordingly.

 

[Nugg]

700 € (price does not include shipping) from France. Bye guys, I'm out!

 

[diablos991]

Ordered.

It sure is nice being gainfully employed!

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Order placed, although a little hesitantly. $600 was about $100 more than I'd set my bar. That said, controller, remote, and two games? Alright, we'll see. I can always sell my DK2, I'm sure.

edit: Paying for shipping on top of that hurts.

 

[Lancelot]

No Brazil... damn you, Rift!

 

[Saberus]

Welp.. guess Oculus need to pay for the free ones they are sending out to the Dev kit owners. :/

 

[ColeTheMole]

Subtotal: €699.00, no way.

 

[JayEH]

So... ummm...

lmao

 

[KJ869]

600 is way too mutch, concidering you need to DLC of motion controllers, so it will end up what, maybe 800? and if youre computer is even slightly older you need 970 at minimum so 1100. Vr has steep price to get to

 

[TTP]

Dat $599

Someone photoshop Kutaragi holding an Oculus Rift (instead of a PS3)

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

NOPE!

.

 

[Dangoesforth]

Wow Sony could actually sell at half that price and take the cost... and market share.

 

[Minions]

Not surprised. Peoples expectations were vastly underestimated. I'll be surprised if Sony comes in at $399 tbh. I'd be happy if it does, but feels more like $450~. Vive will likely come in higher than Oculus.

 

[El Topo]

699€! Oh my god.

Holy shit.

Edit:
Without shipping? Holy fucking shit.

 

[RCSI]

I'm getting déjà vu from the Playstation 3 price announcement.

 

[commish]

I can't believe people actually thought it'd be much cheaper than this.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Well I preordered. I have until March to decide to keep it.

 

[louiedog]

How much would it cost if it didn't come with the $60 MSRP controller that I already have and don't need?

 

[diffusionx]

Brand new market, bleeding edge technology, tons of new tech and innovations inside it.

I see no reason why it wouldn't be $600.

 

[Mdk7]

741€ with shipping to Germany.


FUCK YOU!

Ouch.

 

[tearsintherain]

Placed an order, not sure if I will cancel or not but gives me a month to decide. $30 shipping, $0 tax in Nevada.

Anyone else get "Something went wrong. Please try again." over and over though when you click on Reserve your space in line for Oculus Touch?

 

[Nzyme32]

So... ummm...

I will eat my hand if it's $600. I am guessing it'll be $399.

*Popcorn*, although technically he was right that it wouldn't be $600. A dollar saved

 

[friskykillface]

well damn

to rich for me

 

[Cutwolf]

Does this work for all you conspiracy theorists thinking no one is actually in the store?

 

[Plasmid]

$599? 629 after tax? I cannot justify that kinda price. Hopefully the vive will be cheaper. Fuck, i really wanted an Oculus.

 

[Arucardo]

Holy shit, haha.

 

[UnrealEck]

£500 (does not include shipping)

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Preordered! Now to actually get the money together in time.

 

[PopcornMegaphone]

Wow I was expecting 500. I think I'll be sitting out 1st gen. Particularly when you consider this doesn't come with their upcoming vr controller.

 

[keltickennedy]

No thanks Facebook. Waiting to see what the other headsets come are going to be priced at.

 

[daniebanes]

darn was hoping for 399 - not 600

 

[SJRB]

How the FUCK is this 699 euros?


This is a pricing error, right?

 

[3DShovel]

I knew this would happen. This price tag will prevent mass popularity and that's for damn sure.

VR isn't #happening until it's more accessible.

 

[HelloMeow]

699€

That's crazy. Valve/HTC have a great opportunity here.
