Well, if it lives up to the promises, it will absolutely be worth that price in a year. We'll see if it does, indeed, live up to the promises though, and what kind of horror show it ends up being if you try to do wireless connection. Also, was there a refresh rate? I hope they are doing at least 90 Hz.
Anyway, from what I hear the current Pimax hardware (at the top) is pretty great, but the software isn't exactly plug and play. It seems like they have a bit of work to do software side if they want to make foviated rendering successful in a year (or maybe Steam VR has an upcoming announcement about that and everyone has just done a great job keeping the cat in the bag). Anyway, it could be a very exciting year in VR, if all the rumors and promises pan out.
