Not to mention Palmer's own posts emphasizing how expensive it'll be.
He already confirmed it's not going to be lower than $350.
And if it wasn't such a bad price, there wouldn't be any reason to not announcing it already.
It's going to cost a lot.
>>322725851
I can only assume these shitty baseless and sourceless posts are from valve fanboys. Sad cunts.
>>322726276
I can point you towards a source for almost everything I said, but that's way too much work. If you want a specific one, just ask for it and I can provide it. He just announced the premium case on Twitter, for example.
$599 is just speculative but it makes a lot of sense for what you're getting.
>>322726427
Do you know how ridiculous you sound when you cite "extra foam spacers" as a cost inflater?
>>322726580
By itself, no, but when you factor in every small thing, it builds up. I could've listed even more than I did.

Another thing is the engineering of the back of the headset. It was mentioned that getting the precision of the LEDs down and then having that wired to the back of the headset, across the semi-rigid strap system, in an elegant way, was a challenge.

Which is why Valve are making O the OpenVR standard.
Oculus is cancer fucking cancer. They desperately want to turn Virtual Reality into a festering, console-tier garbage dump of exclusivity.
Anyone who supports Oculus is a fucking maggot.

I remember these posts. They're exactly the same as a previous VR thread. Why are you doing this? Are you a bot?
No way this can be a coincidence. The wording is almost exactly the same as I remembered it from the older thread.
>>322731235
They had one job man, one job.
I'd rather they went with a VR HMD that was near DK2 in spec with a release price around $400 bundled with motion controllers instead of a gamepad with lower minimum system requirements.
Instead we have both competitors going for a premium prices and no one in the PCVR market to fill the massive gap in the lower end.

>>322731797
Nope? OpenVR is an open standard. Other than the fact that Valve contribute to it's development, it's not tethered to them.
Keep sucking that Zuckerberg cock, shill!

Yeah just like Skyrim wasn't tethered to them and they still tried to make you pay them for user made mods. Keep defending them you cocksucking Valve shill.

Dude I'm not even trying to say Facebook or Oculus is good. I'm just saying I feel like I truly read those exact same posts before. Why do you have to keep insisting I'm on the same level as you, a shitposter? Oh right, I guess it's because you're just a little shitposter child.
>>322732735

Sure shill. Why don't you go beg gabe for more DRM.

>>322732958
At no point have I defended Valve. Learn how to read, Facebook shill.
OpenVR is an open standard which is neither owned nor controlled by Valve.
By defending OpenVR I am in NO WAY defending Valve.
>>322733074
Touche.
>>322723015

You defended them by saying they use it, as if OR is closed source when it's not. You're retarded, Valve shill.

>>322732091
After reading through all of that, plus the links to the further investigations, it seems that Valve had sacrificed latency in order achieve faster framerate, while Oculus went with a lower latency approach that comes with an overhead. Interesting technicalities. Thanks for the link.

>>322728730
I know people love to shitpost, it's fun sometimes. But I don't understand why make all this efforts to create a false advertise that will be canned the next day.
It will never be 599.
The first generation of rift will be sold at manufacturing cost or even less. And this thing doesn't cost 599 to make.
>>322733278

Can't defend your piece of shit for what it is at this point. Pathetic.
>voluntarily cucking yourself out to facebook
Can someone explain the logic?
>>322733480
I just think it's likely it'll be pretty expensive. I'll admit $599 is kind of arbritrary on my part. Well actually it kind of isn't. Think of it this way, if you can make people expect it'll be more expensive than what it will actually be, and you reveal it as really cheap, wouldn't that be better than the other way around? A part of what I was trying to do was manage expectations.
>>322733494
But I don't have a steam account. You'll have to send the money to my bank account instead
>>322730752
Somehow the fact that it's a smartphone manufacturer disappoints me more than the fact that it's facebook
Not that I know anything about what either of them has done so far

>>322733597
>Can someone explain the logic?
post 95's millenials consider facebook to be a family member. Literally. allow to stay at dinner and everything.
Is that Will Smith in the OP? It must be right?
People are still hyped about VR headsets?
So, they allow pre orders without setting a price? Do people actually want to buy this thing and just hope it's worth it? I haven't seen any actual games or content that would make people rush to buy one.
So they're going to announce the price before they let people preorder right?
Oculus is shit, the Vive is literally 10x better.
>>322734831
>take pre-orders
>you pay for pre-orders
Literally how would pre-orders without a price even work? What, you just give them your credit card information and they say "lol we'll just charge you, contact your bank to know how much?"

>>322734831
It looks like they will open up preorders once the timer is up. Sly move so they can bank on people's excitement before HTC makes its announcement about its breakthrough.
It is best to wait, I am impatient if the price is 450 or less I am ordering one. 500+ would be asking too much for 1080x1200 per eye and no motion controllers.
I could get a 28" 4K TN panel monitor for that price or 1440p IPS which would look miles better.
I think waiting for eye tracking to be integrated and a larger selection of titles with motion controllers support to release would be a wiser option, but that could be a year's worth of waiting if not more.
>>322734831
no they will let you preorder, then you get a surpirse amount charged off your credit card
retard
Shit yeah I'll be buying it, I don't even care what it costs. VR is insanely good. Naysayers need to try it to understand.
>>322735441
>Sly move so they can bank on people's excitement before HTC makes its announcement about its breakthrough.
It's the other way around. The pre-order announcement was made before HTC announced their delay with their bullshit "breakthrough". Obviously trying to make people wait for their shit.
>>322735524
Man I wish one company that is not some no name pushed for a lower end VR HMD on par with the DK2 or PSVR for PC.
$400~$450 bundled with a motion controller, that would have been miles better than a premium $500+ HMD bundled with a gamepad.
If the rift and vive are going to be 500+ then PSVR is going to steal their their thunder.
I hope some peripheral maker targets the $300 region for HMD alone with good bang for buck using openVR and lighthouse.
>>322735370

>still using a CRT monitor

>>322736664
The reason manufacturers switched to LCD displays was mainly the manufacturing cost. You're literally a corporate bitch if you support a technology with inferior color depth, input lag, refresh rates and lifespan only because it takes less space in your office desk and strains your eyes less because you're retarded and ran your CRTs at 60 or 75hz
>>322736664
>not using an oscilloscope
>>322737043
>input lag
This is the worst bit.
I understand why Nintendo made the Wii primarily for CRTs.
I tried hooking it up to a flat-screen at the time, and the pointer delay was big enough that it just became no fun to use the device at all.
This has been remidied since with newer tvs and running Wii games on the Wii U over HDMI, but it's still not as fast.
