it's not about being broke imo, it's about thinking something it's not worth the money, especially here in europe.
Pretty much. I could afford the Rift, but there's no way I'll put 740Gé¼ on it. That's daylight robbery !
Port it now !

Between the pricing (even for a ps4) and severe motion sickness, I won't be playing Valkyrie. I only bought a ps3 to get Skylanders for my kids. I wasn't going to buy it just for DUST and I'm glad I didn't.
Oh well, Infinity Star Wars was the kids Christmas gift from Santa this year and we're having a blast with that now.

Most people can afford it but why bother when it's costs twice as much as a ps4 and will have plenty of bugs and complications for at least the first year..we're being smart and letting all the nerds who can't wait suffer and fix the issues for us |

Pretty much my thoughts exactly, I'd have to build an entirely new pc to use it looking at the minimum requirements.
Hopefully after the initial run version two will be a bit more affordable. |

Thats exactly my issue with the price. For me I would have to drop a few hundred into a new video card putting my total price at nearly $1000 to play with the freaking thing.
Sorry but no games worth a down payment on a car no matter how much money you have.

Just wait.
If it catches on, the price will drop significantly. They always price things stupidly at the start to recover development costs.
If it doesn't catch on, it would have been a wasted $699 or whatever it is in your country. It's a pity that this might actually end up being because the ridiculous starting price quashed any enthusiasm. We'll see what they do if sales are really poor.
The US price is always the cheapest, because they figure if they don't do that the US won't buy it. But wait long enough and the price is sure to drop one way or another. The only issue is, will you want to buy it when that time comes.... |

If it won't run on a high-end laptop, I won't be running it. My days of buying overpriced workstations or for that matter, buying the components and building one are over. I love laptops now - they go anywhere, do virtually anything, and are all I need for even EvE Online. If Valkyrie doesn't run on them, forget it. |

I guess this means Valkyrie has officially flopped and CCP can turn their attention back to Dust, amirite?

Really 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.

I'm Australian
I read that the prices aren't even in AUD, so we are essentially being asked to work out the exchange rate before going through with paying for it.
Tested it out to see how much it'll actually sell for.
$649 USD ($917 AUD).
They ask for your credit card/paypal details first before even going through with accepting any T's and C's.
It's like the greatest Nigerian Prince scam I have ever seen, "I sell Virtual Reality headset, please provide credit card details to process payment, and I 'promise' delivery in May 2016".
dust is life...
... uncertain, and usually pretty dissapointing.

With a price point like this, I venture to guess that only one percent of the one percent of computers that are even capable of running VR will actually invest in a Rift. $600 is way way over the amount that most hoping to buy into the Valkyrie pot were expecting, and is a massive kick in the groin after already investing the same amount to purchase an advanced GPU to support the hardware. 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 |

Totally agreed.
I will not be going for the Sony one tho because the primary reason I wanted a headset was for 3d movies which will not be very easy on the morpheus.
Google Cardboard will be my only VR for some time to come. It is actually pretty nice with my Nexus 6p.

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 no, remember? Being bought out by Facebook supposedly allowed them to lower the price of the Rift. I hate to think what they would have tried to sell it for if they hadn't
