That is an INSANE price! And you don't even get Valkyrie with it unless you Pre-Order?
I'm not sure what they're thinking. This also makes me scared of how pricy SteamVR is going to be considering they warned it would be more expensive than the Rift.
As some other people have been saying, in their defense, HTC was talking about it being more expensive than the Rift back when the great betrayer suggested that the price would be "in the ballpark of $350"
For all we know Vive could be like "lol thanks for handing us the entire market" and sell at $500
Then again, that wouldn't crush my spirits as bad so who am I kidding it'll probably be over 1000 |

I'll set up a git hub repo.
I'd like to preorder one for up to 449,000,000 isk
An isk cent over that though and I'll instead pay 449 people a million isk each to form an angry internet outrage mob about how you betrayed my expectations |

Meme is old, but it checks out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOHqG1nc_twReally this price isn't really that outrageous considering the cost of the hardware to run a high end VR experience. I'm going to pass, however this purchase price makes sense for early adopters (particular investing in a novel VR P O R N experience), or the youtubers investing in hits for their channel. They have hypnotism recordings that try to make a person get off without any physical stimulation. I can see how VR can enhance that type of experience. For niche fetishes like Vore and Gargantuan women stepping on you, I can see where VR can simulate this size difference far more easily and 'realistically' than 2D video.
oh
so that's why everyone in the promotional photos look like they're having so much... uh... fun. |

This just goes to show that the capability for VR is here, but it's going to be reserved to only a handful of diehard proponents on the planet.
And I'm just the jerk to go ahead and actually pay the price. I really do believe in VR, and I desperately want to get in on the ground floor of Valkyrie and make a name for myself. But it's going to take some serious budgeting on my part just to get the equipment.
The only positive thing I can say is, they allegedly won't be charging your credit card for the rift until they actually ship it in april/may/june/whenever, and you can cancel your preorder anytime, so you can preorder it now and have a few extra months to actually put the cash together if you've already been saving up for a ballpark
be advised there is also a bullshit shipping fee of approximately $30 and double bullshit sales tax fee of approximately $45 in the US
if you live outside the US may god have mercy on your wallet because the shipping and import taxes won't |

If that huge price point does anything for us it serves as great insurance that I'll never have to worry about the Brazilian lag squad. Thats what you think right now. Until you realize you are playing against a bunch of people that had to cut back on their internet bill to afford the roughly $2,000 you will need to play Eve Valkyrie.
oh yeah
I think I still have some AOL CDs laying around
probably about 4000 free hours total |
