I guess my money isn't good enough for Facebook, it keeps saying something went wrong...

 

[jacobeid]

RIP mass market appeal

Spoiler

this won't happen for a few years anyway.

 

[commish]

What are people going to say when Sony's set cost $400 to $500?

Holy shit guys, the first Blu-Ray player is going to cost $1000. RIP Blu-Ray, DOA.

That argument is not what you think it is. First of all, blu-ray players aren't that popular, especially when compared to DVD players.

Second, it would have been even more dead at that price point.

 

[MIMF]

699€ for Europe, plus shipping I just preordered it at 741€...

 

[Zafir]

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

I don't think people thought it would be cheaper, people hoped it would be cheaper because frankly. Not many people are going to justify that price.

 

[Lingitiz]

PSVR is probably going to come in at $400-500, and Vive is going to be $700, I'm guessing.

 

[plagiarize]

WTF are they thinking?

How is this that more expensive than the Dk2? Jesus, hype got to their heads :/

Two custom displays instead of one off the shelf screen. Custom integrated audio. Included controller. Better materials all around. Like the price or not, that's the answer.

 

[Zeth]

Something went wrong. Please try again.

Damn it.

 

[Kikorin]

My god, 700€ for EU, sigh I hoped for dayone, but now I'll wait Oculus 2 lol

 

[AaronMT86]

Your PC is not ready for Rift

Your Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.8GHz processor doesn't meet our recommended specification, which is an Intel i5-4590 equivalent or later.

 

[Drakken]

Curious how you cancel. There is no actual cancel button on the order history page.

I made sure to look through the T&C before ordering. It says you can cancel your pre-order any time before it actually ships by contacting Support.

 

[AgeEighty]

Can't get my payment to go through; I keep getting "something went wrong" errors whether I use my own card or PayPal.

 

[Sectorseven]

Wasn't the dev unit like $350? Is this significantly better?

 

[dk_]

Occulus REKT!

rip

 

[blackdevil]

So... ummm...

hope he has got an HD Webcam. Want to see all in Full HD

Holy shit guys, the first Blu-Ray player is going to cost $1000. RIP Blu-Ray, DOA.

And Blu-Ray sells nowhere near what DVD did.

 

[Duxxy3]

Ouch. I was actually right about the price.

 

[linkandzelda]

Did it charge your bank account yet?

No Occulus said they don't charge until it ships.

 

[The Elite]

$914.00 CDN after shipping



my brain can't process this correctly

I hope you ordered one too.

I don't want to be the only foolish one.

 

[konjak]

Plamer Luckey never spoke in a way that should've implied any different. I wish people weren't this surprised and gave this a shot to simply give it some time to go down in price.

 

[thiscoldblack]

Keep getting a "Something went wrong. Please try again" error. What.

Me too. It doesn't want to accept my card, apparently.

 

[Vinlaen]

I guess I was "late" on ordering? It says estimate Q2 2016 (USA).

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I really want to try this thing but only for PCs. BS

 

[DunderHassan]

Wow, just wow.........
This is in Sweden, shipping excluded.
In dollares, this would be $751(.)24

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

Good news is this should drop in price on the second hand market, eBay, nice and quickly.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

If touch was included I would think that was a fair, but still expensive price. The fact that I'll have an extra xbox one controller and will still need to buy the touch (for probably $150) makes this a no buy for me. There also just aren't enough interesting looking games to justify a purchase yet.

Plamer Luckey never spoke in a way that should've implied any different. I wish people weren't this surprised and gave this a shot to simply give it some time to go down in price.

Maybe not after the Facebook acquisition, but around DK2 times they were talking about the CV1 aiming at a similar price, which is close to half of what it ended up being.

 

[panda-zebra]

lol whats the UK price?

GBP£500
Euro700

 

[Super Rookie]

Pre-ordered for £499 which was my estimation so spot on!

 

[PodcastFips]

E3 2013 all over again.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Lol called it.

 

[Compsiox]

Got mine!!! Yaaaass!!!

 

[UrbanRats]

"affordable for everyone" they say...

"$600" they say...

741€ in France man... lol.

 

[ieptbarakat]

The fact that you need a high end computer in the first place just makes the price even worse.

 

[I'm new be nice]

We still expecting this to succeed?

At least it's bundled with two games....

Rift was always about the long game, not the short

But it is concerning, price will need to be a major focus for the second consumer release

 

[Evo X]

Dammit, I can't submit my order!

Keeps saying "Something went wrong"

 

[StudioTan]

I completed the order and got an order number but no email and it says I don't have any past orders. Is this the same with everyone?

EDIT: NM, got the email now.

 

[ps3ud0]

I think the $599 is fair enough but it's £499 for UK customers. That seems a bit strange. Probably going to leave it and wait to see what Vive is doing.

Damn was hoping it meant more like £450 - Vive is gonna be so expensive...

ps3ud0 8)

 

[CryptiK]

Wait where is the Spec sheet? Why do we not have that yet.

 

[YeSp]

699€! Oh my god.

Thats just stupid expensive ...no way Im buying this and the extra cost for upgrading my PC.

Hopefully the Sony one will be more affordable

 

[Hoo-doo]

And to think this thing is likely going to remain under-supported and surpassed by OR2 in two years tops, that's a LOT of money to gamble away.

Yeah no, I don't think so. Give it a few years.

 

[Galava]

People complaining the price, but they still buying it LOL

 

[Tagyhag]

I decided to wait for Gen 2 anyways but still that price.

I understand that these will be incredible pieces of hardware but DAMN.

 

[gamechanger87]

Sony execs are high fiving each other right now. They probably thought $300 was too steep, but now they can easily sell this for $400.

Your expectations are way out of whack. They aren't going to price PSVR at $300. I'm expecting $500.

How could they build the PSVR with all the required components, pack in camera touch and external box all for $300?

 

[Badlucktroll]

Nope. I wonder of Playstation VR will be $599 or even $549.

 

[JimJamJones]

Welp, I ordered one. Not getting charged till it ships helped because I can always cancel it if I change my mind.

For some reason I didn't get shown that I'd be charged tax, but I'm guessing that was an error.

 

[flyinpiranha]

Preordered.

$629.00 USD including shipping (to US address)

Also asks if you want to be "put in line" for the Touch at the end which was a 'hell yeah!'

And to think this thing is likely going to remain under-supported and surpassed by OR2 in two years tops, that's a LOT of money to gamble away.

Yeah no, I don't think so. Give it a few years.

"Gamble away" .. ? It's really not a gamble. It's going to be used on games I really want to play that already have DK2 support.

And do you really think Oculus isn't going to go full on beast mode with their FIRST CONSUMER device? What a weird thing to say. This isn't the Kinect or Move where support dropped like a rock less than months after release.

 

[Spukc]

€699 hahhahahahahahahahaha

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

599 holy hell. PC Master

Spoiler

card

race.

That's a lot of money man, and it makes me nervous for PS VR

 

[Shuggananas]

699€?

your move Sony

This won't sell in europe, price is outrageous
