It is ?746.60 with (express) shipping. I heard that some people managed to get the shipping down to ?5, but that wasn't available when I placed the order :/
So if anyone need a kidney, let me know...
I've got the Samsung Gear VR, while not as powerful as Vive/Rift it's still very impressive and very very fun. Some neat games on it, also love being able to watch films on train/bus as though I'm watching a huge screen!
Once hoped to be the next great breakthrough in home televisions, 3D on your home screen is now going the way of the dinosaur. CNET has confirmed with a source at Samsung, the world’s largest manufacturer of flat screens, that none of its 2016 US TV models will support 3D – and thus will not […]
I had initially speculated on why it could be a really good fit for them at the time (not necessarily for us), owning a possible hardware leader while creating a VR infrastructure that could become the next social space. I think that will happen at some point... but that point is not now and it seems it’s not in the near future so, yeah, I’m left where you are. Right now, this seems like nothing Facebook will benefit from and hasn’t in any way helped VR.

It honestly destroyed my faith in the guys who built Oculus. They always seemed plucky and principled. I understood that they needed a big investor or they would never break through the glass ceiling into making something commercially viable (which VR sorely needed) but jumping into bed with Facebook honestly made me wonder if all Oculus's identity was just PR - like when any Silicon Valley firm talks about wanting to change the world, but they'll happily sell out to any big investor once the cheques have enough zeroes at the end.
Was never going to go mainstream on PC really. Too much choice in the market fragments it, oculus store, windows Mixed Reality etc. causes confusion. Left to Sony to try and make it really and they're doing quite a good job I think. System requirements are that you have a PS4, which is easy for people to understand. Today, everything else you *need* comes in the box. PS4 has the best VR games too; I don't think Borderlands is coming to anything bar PS4?

Yup Sony have done an amazing job with the PSVR, I hope they continue with another iteration when the next gen of consoles hits us.
I Have a Vive and a Rift so I`m going to disagree with you on the "PS4 has the best games", I would go with better curated collection.
Bang for buck PSVR.
