Question
if i were rich it would stil be a problem
ive wanted an oculus since i first saw one on kickstarter years ago.. i bought the note 4 and gear vr "which wasn't easy in canada at the time"
and I've been impatiently waiting for the rift to release. but when i found out the price was $600 American and i need a pc that costs over $1000 for a combined price of over $2000 cdn after taxes shipping and international fees, i lost all faith in oculus. i hate that i feel this way about a product ive been promoting to anyone who'd listen, but the bottom line is it is way to expensive for a product that will be obsolete in a year! if you don't agree then look at the note 4, even if it is considered a developer kit it still reflects exactly what will happen to all vr headsets, they are in their infancy, they are all so far from perfected and because of that every few months a new breakthrough will be made and the technology behind it will look like an a track in comparison.. if by some miracle anyone at oculus sees this post; you NEED to lower the price or find a way to operate it on a lesser computer because if im saying i wont be buying one then someone who hasn't been obsessed with the technology definitely wont.. and to be clear, your initial sales might do well but The moment it becomes outdated and everything they payed a mint for becomes useless, you will lose their trust and they wont come back.
if you knew it would be twice as much as the $350 the gen-pop was led to believe, you should have cleared that up years ago because when its a few months before the ball drops and you find out the party is only for the rich, you would feel betrayed as well..
