I could afford $599 and much more. But it would be a waste of money since there's no must play games on that thing atm. And prices will drop sharply after a year anyhow, so there's no point in paying $599 now.

This is like poetry, they ryhme. Every stanza kinda rhymes with the last one.
If I wanted, I could buy ten of them.
But until there's actually a good selection of games that I can use it with, why would I spend any money at all on it?
>mfw people seriously are pre ordering the Oculus
The Vive will be around the same price, be bundled with useful stuff, such as the controllers rather than a bunch of shit you don't need like a remote and xbox pad. It is being made and shipped by HTC, who unlike Facebook are not babby retards at shipping, so the cost will be far lower. On top of all that, the Vive is a better system.

>psvr
You still need a PS4 to use it though, so the price works out to the same if not more.
Besides, PSVR will flop because Sony themselves said that unless a game is being written deliberately to use VR it will not function correctly with it
People seem to think that PSVR will let them use their existing PS4 games and make it virtual reality. It doesn't. That isn't how it works.
I'm just going to wait. The initial launch of Oculus is going to be buggy anyways. I'll wait a couple months or so for them to drop the price and for reviews to surface.

>>323007896
I don't get it. Oculus needs a beast of a PC to function really well. And then we have the PS4. A console that can barely just about do 1080p and 60fps if the game looks like shit.
Will their thing just be a worthless piece of gimmick nobody wants or are they doing something very different from the Oculus?
>>323008025
To be fair, you need a pretty high end PC to play VR. 1500 dollars seems about right.

The only reason anyone would take a Rift over a Vive is if Valve went full retarded and made the Vive cost $1000 or some shit, and even then it would be cheaper for some people due to shipping.
>>323008379
Worst of all, giving money to facebook.
>>323007473
>You still need a PS4 to use it though, so the price works out to the same if not more.
And you need a $1500 Windows PC to use the Rift. So in total you have to spend $2100.
Seriously, for this price I rather just buy a silicone loli sexdoll as they cost roughly the same.

He said that before he was bought by facebook and thought everybody must be as rich as him.

Just like the PS4 vs Xbone, the PSVR vs Rift battle will be decided by sony adopting the same strategy: doing absolutely fucking nothing.
It's already pretty bad PR move that they sold off to fucking Facebook, and now that they are adopting the PS3 marketing scheme, their last hope to stay relevant in the industry is their 1~2 months lead over the HTC Vive and ~6 months(I assume) lead over the PSVR.
Not that they give a shit. Luckey and his buddies already made bank. Oculus could go bankrupt tomorrow, they won't give a flying fuck. It's Cuckberg's problem now.

>Won't be out ever

>Will cost $1000
We don't know the cost yet, but if you think it'll be more than the Rift you're kidding yourself. HTC have factories to handle production better than the shitty samsung ones the Rift uses. Shipping won't be a cunt because its heading from Japan not America, and Valve have a vested interest in getting VR out there, not just in selling hardware, as they have steam as a platform for VR games. So they make money from software. Oculus don't, they need to make cash from the hardware sales.

>VR revolution
You mean the laying of the foundations for the VR Revolution to potentially, maybe, happen 5-7 years in the future, when the tech is cheaper, there are enough people who own the hardware to justify making games for it, we've gotten better at both the hardware and software through trial, testing and iterating, and the one solid killer app using new mechanics shows up?
People who buy VR before 2020 are test subjects. I mean, thanks, I love that you are enabling the growth of VR, and I hope the corpses of your wallets will feed what might end up something great down the line, but buying early is always a mistake. 3D and motion controllers were too supposed to be revolutions, remember.

>>323013424
>oy vey
>>323013424
I always have 2 full months worth of sallary saved up, so if my life suddenly goes to shit I won't stand helpless.
It's a backup. A safety net, and you must be an idiot "impulse yolo" faggot to seriously believe this is a dumb move.
>>323012894
But anon I do that once or twice a year.
I'll wait for all the VR shit to come out, then decide if it's even worth it or just another "game changer" like the kinect
>>323013056
>justify making games for it
There are plenty of people making games for it. I guess by "games" you mean "Big budget shitty Ass Creed titles" and shit.
There is more than enough software, games and porn already out for the device, and a lot more is going to start hitting soon.
>>323013364
Nothing anon, but its okay, you can plug yourself in soon and forget about life.

lol thats whats they said 20 years ago and it looks and feels exactly the same.
>>323013670
People will say this over and over until VR is indistinguishable from real life.
>>323013680
>nevermind that if i had spent it to get the car checked and repaired a few months ago this wouldnt happen
>ignore the fact that if i ate better and went to the gym i wouldnt have the health problems to begin with
And you would have more money if you also do it in the first place? What's your point?
>>323013812
To spend money instead of saving it like a retard. Saved money is wasted money.
If you are in a crisis you can take a loan.
>>323013495
yeah fakin shit cunts m8.
>134 USD shipping
in what fucking universe?
>>323013610
VR already has enough games that are worth it if you spend thousands of fucking dollars a year on coats you spoiled clueless asswipe
>>323013680
Neither of those are relevant to my country actually.
>cars have to be checked and pass a tight quality check every 2 years
>healthcare is free
I'm thinking more in the lines of my job being cut off, company going down, I decide to move across the country. I can live comfortably for 2 months without a job while I search for a new one.
Also, for example dentists are expensive as fuck here, and I need my yearly checkup. Instead of losing out on some luxury that month, I take money from my buffer and slowly fill it back up the following months.
I'm also able to help a dear family member in need. There's not a lot of people I'd loan money to, but if one of my brothers were in trouble, I'd be able to help. The 3 of us are really close, and I know he'd pay me back. I've helped both of them out of a pinch before, because I'm the best of us at handling my money, and they paid me back within 6 months.
>>323013495
>>323013878
You know what's even worse? >>323008812
>>323013493
Pretty much how I see it as well. People try to shill it and compare it to a nice display, which is fine and all, but I know I can use the display for long periods of time and actually do things on it.
I see VR as something I could use a few hours a week if it isn't a cheap gimmick. Which isn't a great value for $599 + taxes + shipping + Touch controller a few months down the road (likely $150 + taxes + shipping).
>>323013874
I'm not saying you shouldn't spend money just to save money. Hell, you don't even need to save like $500 in one go, just start small.
If you do need to spend money for gym and checkups, spend it. It wouldn't be that expensive. Save the rest
Why spend money for things you /actually/ don't need is what I'm confused at. If you don't trust bank, buy a safe
>>323013874
How is a loan not wasted money? A consumer loan is expensive as fuck, dude.
I'd rather have a safe buffer zone than pay 15% interest.
>>323014039

We don't even know what kind of long term effects it will have on our eyes.

It is Ouya all over again. It is going to flop hard. Just like the 3D television Sony wanted to shove in your throat.
It will be a magnificent trainwreck. I can't wait.
IM going to buy a ocilus rift and one of those plastic asses you put your penis in so i can masturbate more realistic
Anyone is going to be the same my idea

Just get a gf that will put out and a VR headset.
That way you can get mad head and pretend it's your virtual waifu doing it
>mfw I'll be able the join the VR master race from day 1
When it has an actual catalog of working games, Ill consider it. Not even a blip on the radar for me at the moment, but the potential is there. People buying this immediately are the same people who probably though Plasytation eye was going to be a big thing and rushed to buy one, only find it sat on the shelf from day one onward because there was no actually content that made use of it.

Look, if you don't like the bundled crap, you can just sell it for a profit. Oculus are doing you a favorite, its an amazing deal.

Because inflation is the same everywhere in the world.

it's just a screen
vr comes from the pc
oculus will be outdated when samsung/chinese will make cheap knockoffs
>>323015479
People pay more than $600 for second hand xbox controllers?
>>323014906
For Arma 3, TrackIR did this shit already. VR only adds "immersion" by doing the same thing but slapping a high quality monitor close to your eyes. Does nothing to the gameplay, just binds look to head tracking.
I am all up for games made FOR VR, like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEnUIGiPeO
with a controller FOR VR Games. Not a god damn keyboard+mouse or a fucking typical gamepad.
>being able to blind fire to your sides, backwards, aim in that sweet spot because you lift your hands to shoot that angle

if you are so rich, then why don't you go ahead and buy your own AAA studio to develop VR vidya custom tailored for you?
>>323015541
>That's funny because I own a forest.
So when the crisis comes, and you need money, you are going to sell a forest?
But oh wait, its a crisis. Nobody is buying a fucking forest. And its price is lower than ever.
You threw away your money.
>>323015479

Great idea
>>323015615
You're stupid, a controller works better than any of that bullshit ever will
>>323015679
When a crisis comes, I'm just going to do the same as I did years ago circa 2008.
Nothing.
That's all it took.
I have 6 years old rig, that barely runs Witcher 3 on Ultra settings. Gaming just hasn't gone up enough for me to upgrade. VR is the only reason to get new GPU and maybe CPU. So my options are either enjoying all games as before, or spend $1100+ to have a rollercoaster at my house. Not only is it expensive, but there is no necessity for it. Or useability. Its not a new TV or new phone. I'll try it once or twice and then leave it to dust.
But it will sell. PS4 has been selling with no games for 2 years now. Shitposting will move the stocks as before.
>>323015762
>then a crisis comes i'll just starve, thinking of my forest

Where is the "shoot somewhere I am not looking" button on the controller?

>Xbone controller won't come with its box

Wow top lel
Palmer is a fucking cheeky little cunt.
>But don't worry, you get a free xbone controller
I'm one of the few people where it's different. I would spend whatever it was. Gamers are not known to be the most affluent population of people. If something's even $600, it doesn't matter how good it is, how great of an experience it is - if they just can't afford it, then it really might as well not exist. We're going for the mainstream, but time will tell what the market is.
>>323015479
>Sell it for profit
I don't think Palmer knows how money works.
