?529 is a hell of a price, and how many of those sold were ebay scalpers?
Really does put it in the market for the elite PC enthusiasts.
Shame they force you to buy the bundled controller, headset, case etc etc. Selling a version without them could have easily knocked ?100 off.
In a way pleased it's that price as it ruled me out instantly. Don't really expect the Valve/HTC version to be much cheaper either.
Seems PS4 and it's PSVR, could come in as the winner in VR after all. Price and software/dev support is critical from here on in.
Just hope this isn't the start of the nail in the coffin for VR until the next attempt.
This says it all
Luckey didn't help with the price bomb after saying so many titmes the price was expected to be much lower

Luckey's mention of "communication" is a reference to his claim that Rift would be "roughly in that $350 ballpark, but it will cost more than that" in an interview. Indeed, in an interview with Eurogamer in 2014, Luckey said Oculus wanted to hit a $200-$400 launch price for Rift.
