phones are stupidly overpriced, same as vr, yes some amount can be said for r&d, but how much of the r&d is passed onto me?The price of the Rift and Vive are the same as a highend cell phone.
The fact people are complaining about the $600 price point of the Rift is a bad sign. Though I think Oculus took the edge off the surprise-factor for the Vive.
If you look at all the R&D and hardware included here, it's a good deal for what you're getting. The alternative is an iPhone6S Plus. A nice buy, but considering this is roomspace VR, it's a steal.
The chances these will ever drop to less than a high end cell phone or a high end monitor is fantasy.
The difference between a high-end phone and VR is that the high end phone replaces their tablet, PC, and phone. I spent $20 on mine because I don't need that. You know I also don't need? All the extras that come with this VR helmet. Why on gods green earth are they including earbuds? Just like Microsoft learned with the kinect, not everyone is going to want everything forced on them.The price of the Rift and Vive are the same as a highend cell phone.
