Oculus Touch might be $400, would you still buy it?

Since Oculus can price Touch controllers as high as they want, knowing that without it people with the Rift cannot have the "full VR experience" and they will probably buy it anyway.
If it's more than $200 I won't buy it for sure. What about you?

It's going to be $199 USD. @$499 Rift + @$199 Touch = @$799 Vive


This would be my guess too.


Which would still make the Vive better value as it has the passthru camera too.

I think Oculus should at least give the pre order que'd Touch buyers a discount even at that price for all the hassle they've caused with the rift orders.

A $400 price tag would see me selling the rift and buying a Vive.
Something I never thought I'd say !

The Rift will have to be the superior overall package for Oculus to justify a total cost higher than Vive. As it stands, it isn't superior so my guess is it would be priced the same as the Vive.

Oculus isn't alone in this market, by any stretch of the imagination:

Your posts have gotten more and more negative as time progresses. Let's keep the wild speculation on reddit.

After all this shipping fucked up process? you want me to give you 400$? 
People that have been fucked up by preorders should get it for the half price!

I bet the touch controller will cost 600$ and we will get it december 2017. Probably some will get theirs sooner if they NOT pre-order but go to bestbuy instead or buy an overpriced pc (again).
If we have luck, the controllers are out for sale before even pre-orders starting.
Excuse my bad english. I speak to you through the google translator. 😛

Not a chance I'll pay $400.00 not that I think it's going to be that much anyway.

I have just about all the controllers I need. Pad, Hottas, Wheel, gear stick and pedals.

Although the controllers interest me unless they are reasonable i.e. sub. £150 they are going to stay with Oculus. They could very well be a gimmick for short experiences. It will be a long time if ever they become essential.

I usually only play simulator games, like Elite: Dangerous, so I don't mind passing Oculus Touch if it's to expensive for me.

If they're reasonably priced, sure I'll get them as a nice extra.
