$600 is the price of innovation and based Palmer Luckey understands that.
smart phones are universally useful, portable, and not dependent on even more hardware to function.

Shiggly diggly. The Rift costs $200 to produce. Maybe 250-300 but that's quite unlikely.
iphone worked on its' own

He was still this guy under those roided up muscles.
>>323019923
You're right, everyone is going to rush to buy a $1.5k computer to use a $600 headset because it's the price of innovation.
>>323019923
Rift is literally nothing but a mid tier phone screen, a motion sensor, a cheap palstic enclosure and some cabling

Doesn't need to be everyone. Tesla is doing great despite the price.
People just need to realize that VR is not going to be for plebs in the next couple of years at least.
>>323020934
The VR experience is 1500 dollars.
This "VR" shit people are pushing is fucking useless. Come back when it actually works
even if I can't use OCULUS RIFT without a 2000€ PC attached to it
>>323019923
>blame your country not my jewish ass
>>323021941
you'll pretty much need a new GPU from either amd or nvidia from this year being pascal / polaris.
but nvidia themselves say you should wait for volta (2018) for the VR memes.
>>323022148
and even than oculus will be expensive
i can understand this is brand new, but it's just a cellphone screen
800/1000€ is too much for something that will be outdated in 1 year
plus this is Facebook, they will probably lock down this device to their propetary service
Vive is mandatory at this point, let's see if that is really as good as everybody says
>>323022487
HTC has to be dense as a brick if they don't pick up on this.
>>323019923
The original iphone was never 600, let alone 600+contract.
And even then, the Iphone actually had tech in it, whereas the rift is just a phone screen, a sensor, and some cables.
All the actual work is done by the PC.
You're literally paying 600 for a mid range phone screen in an enclosure.
Btw, the iphone is also a scam. The cost of producing one is about 150 dollars
>>323023269
vive will be 1000€ or more but at least if will be steam compatible and probably you will be able to use with non steam products
Kikebook is not worth it
>>323023702
>Btw, the iphone is also a scam. The cost of producing one is about 150 dollars
That was their point. Apple reinvented themselves as a luxury brand, with the price tag to boot and the hipsters all flocked to them.
>>323024303
if kikebook strategy is to become the new Apple they are wrong
>>323019923
everyone needs phones
not every needs VR porn
Nobody would be pissed off at 599.99 US Dollars if it wasn't for the fact Lucky came out 3 months before and said the price 'would be ballpark around $350'
$600 is not ballpark 350
>>323024702
even better when only the screen costs 800€ with no pc attached to it
>>323024303
And that worked for apple, but it wont work for the rift. It never will. A phone is a necessity in todays age. A gimmicky addon for games isnt.
Apple appealed to the masses as "a luxury product".
That doesnt work for the VR, it is forever stuck with the image of being a niche product for shutins.
>>323023702
it's not just phone screen, it's shitload of sensors, software, enclosure.
Just like how it doesn't cost 1.8 million to make a javelin missile, you can make one from scrap with hired help from khyber pass, but it will never perform or fly like a javelin.
The difference is about 1.3million spent on making sure it goes bang in the right place every time no matter how stupid the operator or how hard it's been banged up.
Same for oculus: 200 to build it and 400 to back it up since it'll be niche when it comes out. Which is fine. Decent joysticks start at around 300 as well.
If it gets popular and technology matures it'll become cheaper. If they add some extra bits to make it useful for gamedev, it'll get another niche field.
>>323019923
No you fucking idiot the base phone was 600 dollars with no contract,with a contract you would only be paying about 90 to 100 bucks
>>323020804
>200
thats incredibly generous.
It definetly doesnt cost more than 150
>>323024894
>it's shitload of sensors, software, enclosure.
most of which do nothing without a proper game with a proper code
can't you see the bullshit
it's just a 150/200€ screen that wants you to believe it's the only vr technology you need.
in reality you need a pc, a platform and games
in this sense Steam is a better choice
but even then 800€ is too fucking much
>>323024859
A phone is necessary. A 600 dollar flagship isn't.
It's a luxury. A dumbphone will serve you fine.
I am a normalfag and I rarely use my smartphone for anything other than calling and texting. Not even games or camera or internet gets that much use. I just spent 500 on it because I liked the look and feel and I had the money.
600 dollars for trackir+good monitors is honestly not expensive. It costs about as much as a one time computer upgrade.Unless you're a NEET in which case fuck you, you useless piece of shit.
>>323024894
>shitload
It has literally one sensor. And a cheap one at that.
The enclosure feels and looks cheap, and defo doesnt cost more than a tenner to shit out in some chink factory
>>323023702
The original iphone was $600 in the same was the ps3 was. There was a cheaper model but no one remembers it.
>>323025109
>I just spent 500 on it because I liked the look
what a fucking normie
GET OUT
>>323025109
Hence whythey branded themselves as a luxury phone, you dumb fucking cunt
people love pretending they're better than eachother, and luxury goods let them do that.

>for a 28 dollar phone screen and a 50 dollar sensor stuck in an ugly enclosure
>not expensive
>>323025081
Yeah.
Your 500$ monitor won't do shit without something to drive it.
Your 50,000$ car still doesn't do shopping or groceries for you.
Your 500,000$ house is shit without electricity, heating. internet
Oculus is just a set of monitors that have trackIR in them and they're high fidelity and more reliable.
There's allready shitload of games that massively benefit from it, especially shit like flightsims/arma.
A lot of games are being developed for it right now, especially indies since oculus and other new tech is great if you want exposure. I know 3 devteams that are making oculus games and I'll start my own soon.
So yeah, if you don't want it, how about you not buy it shitlord. You're supposed to live your own life.
I'll be getting one since I want to operate operationally.
>>323021169
where's the other $25 go?
don't pay it. there's a good chance these things will end up on ebay for around $400 or less, a month after release.
people will buy into the hype, realize they don't really like it, then end up selling it because they spent $600 on something they're not that interested in.
If you unironically have an iphone and you're in this thread right now, get the fuck out.
You're the reason why my /v/ is shit
Here is a comprehensive list of people who actually want VR to play games on:
This concludes the list.
>>323025261
I spent 600 on headphones and a tube amp that the headphones don't even need, since I liked the look and got a huge commission in.
Deal with it.
>>323025373
Goes towards stamping the facebook logo on the enclosure
>>323025352

if Facebook wants me to pay 800€ for a smartphone screen this is my reply: i'll wait until Valve, htc and Samsung will do something good and with a reasonable price
jews should just fuck off
>>323019923
Hey cool I won't be buying this innovative product either. Neat coincidence OP.
>>323025351
You obviously haven't used them
They'll make trackIR obsolete plus they have extremely good 3d effect.
600 is cheap for a 3d effect decent monitor and sensor package.
I'm sorry you're a filthy neet begging your parents to buy you discount steam games.
But don't worry, you can propably buy some chinese knockoff for 50 dollars that is exacly that: cheap phone screen and an LED.

Yes it is. For people who aren't complete retards and actually have a mans job.
Most of my friends who graduated college make around $40-$50 an hour, or are on sallery and make $10,000 a month. And they are just welders, machinists, or engineers.

On their website they have Rift-ready PCs that supposedly run well in VR, and they all start at $1000, and a $600 headset, and it doesn't include the motion controllers. It's hilarious. Literally no one will be able to afford VR other than a few suckers because Vive may be even more expensive. VR is DOA unless Sony saves it.

It won't die. It's too much interest and it's not a forced corporate gimmick like 3DTV.
VR will have a slow start but better cheaper products will come (chinese, valve, ORCV2,other) and there will be much more content. (3dporn, good games, movies).

>>323028826
Its literally just 3D and a mid range motion tracker.
You can keep crying all you want about how "the rift is cutting edge technology and is innovating gaming", but the hard cold truth is that nintendo did it first, on a handheld.
And rift then stole the concept, upgraded the screen, and taped it to your face.

They should have made VR niche in its purpose. For something like therapy. Then refashion it for mainstream audience later.
VR is going to fail big time at this price point. And many people who do buy it are going to find their PCs aren't capable of using it, leading to many complaints.
At this point, I honestly think the Sony VR is the most viable. Even if its subpar, it'll be cheap and guaranteed to run on the hardware.
>>323027697

Funny, thats what retards like you said about 3DTV too.
>>323029095
3DS didn't do 3d first though, not by a long shot, and it's not even the same screen technology. the rift uses a normal screen (or is it two now?) separated with a divider, no fancy 3DS shit that barely works.
But whatever, it's all irrelevant if you haven't tried it, because you don't know what it is all about, you think you do but you really don't, you don't have a clue.
>>323029481
I'll get you started
>>323029086
So it didn't revolutionise smartphones
>>323029817
he is right though.
Rift literally uses the same tech as the 3DS.
The PC renders the game twice at slightly different angles, then overlaps them and sends that imageto your shitty rift.
its literally the same shit a 3DS does.
If you're going to shill and defend a shitty VR headset, you should atleast not be an ignorant prick and know how it works.

That's why the kickstarter got over two million dollars backed? Sure this OR won't sell incredibly much because of the prize but the interest will still be there.
>top kek. More like none. No one in their right mind is going to waste money on making a product for a pathetically small userbase when they can make it for the masses instead.

>but that is exactly what it is.
What I mean with it's not forced by corporations is that it's something that people actually wants, hence why people backed the kickstarter. Compared to 3DTV when companies just say "THIS IS THE NEXT BIG THING". It's not the same case with VR.
>Funny, thats what retards like you said about 3DTV too.
No one believed 3DTV like they are right now would be big.
And I just got my Galaxy Prime for free two weeks ago. So I guess I'll just wait for Samsung to get into VR?

To be honest, the first iPhone kinda did change the market forever by being the first smartphone with super-easy to use and comfortable touchscreen UI, that practically everyone started copying at instant. And a bit later Appstore was another big thing too.
Of course there were tons of touchscreen phones even before it, but none were even remotely as usable as it. They certainly had more features than it, and the first iPhone was actually almost comically devoid of many features and options that other phones had, it just was a major step forward in usability. Also, that doesn't really excuse the fact that they haven't done any meaningful big updates since iPhone 4, but that's a matter for another discussion.

Holy shit, did this dumbass ever heard about local distribution? If they struck a few deals with the third party distributors there would be no additional customs.
But oh wait, that requires cutting a bit of the profit. Though i don't know what the logic behind having 100% of the profits but getting less sales because of the higher price. In the end they will get less money.

3ds uses a parallax barrier to shift the viewpoint for each of your eyes, extremely gimmicky and very limited, the rift does no such thing, if you're referring to the stereoscopic rendering then that's just basic 3d just like nvidia has done for 15+ years now.
What you should focus on is the fact that it's strapped to your face and tracked, that's where the magic happens.

I'm not that guy who said that, I interpreted his sentiment as it'll be a flop like 3D was. I agree. VR won't take off in its current incarnation. I've sampled the hardware, I've see what it has to offer and it has a long way to go.

It only costs somewhere between 150-200 dollars to make an Iphone, and in comparison, the Iphone offers a lot more than an Oculus.
If they simply explained why it costs so much without using the "It's new tech so it has to be expensive" line, they might have some actual leverage. But as we're seeing, they're using the same line over and over again, and expecting people who were previously promised something a lot cheaper to swallow that statement.

And none of that is accomplished by the rift. it is done by your beast PC.
The rift is literally just a screen and a motion tracker.
On the cardboard, all processing and display is done by the phone itself.
You're a fucking mongoloid if you think the rift does ANYTHINg apart from track your head movement and display footage rendered by your PC.
Funny that this all started with Kickstarter. They were clearly way over their head if they thought they could develop a $600 product from a kickstarter campaign.
>why isn't this piece of brand new technology (that vast majority of people don't even have a good enough PC to run) being sold at $100 ;((((
If you have enough money to build something good enough to run it, then you have enough money to buy it if you really want to.
Everyone else will wait a few years for things to stabilize like fucking every other new piece of technology that comes out
>>323032201
The iphone also costs that much because it has actual tech in it.
The rift has literally nothing in it apart from a screen, a motion tracker, and some wires to send motion input to the PC, and to receive the imagery the PC has rendered.
I doubt a single rift even costs 100 dollars to mass produce

>Responding in Reddit’s Oculus section to the question, “How is this what’s best for VR technology?”, Luckey said that, “This deal specifically lets us greatly lower the price of the Rift.”
>Oculus has stated previously that their target price for a consumer virtual reality headset would be around $300. With the Oculus Rift DK2 going on sale last week for $350, it can be assumed that Luckey’s comment applies to the forthcoming consumer version of the Oculus Rift. If the company could bring the cost down to $100 per headset, it would surely go a long way toward widespread adoption of VR.

Am I missing something? I was under impression clock speed is the most defining characteristic of a CPU, did they make a significant leap in architecture that makes mine obsolete for VR?

VR is the 3D of video games. As soon as people have a chance to try ot out it'll die off because it's nothing more than a cheap gimmick, then in another 10 years someone will try again. Its happened with 3d movies, and its happened with vr.
>>323034187
>I was under impression clock speed is the most defining characteristic of a CPU
Your impression is wrong

>>323034187
Clock speed isn't nearly as important anymore, everyone cares about multiple cores and how much can actually be done in a single clock cycle.
At least you guys have a choice in whether get it or not, I'd be prepared to buy it for this obscene price, but my country is just not in the list. Probably rightfully though, our post office can't deliver a fucking dog's chewtoy without breaking or stealing it.

Where the hell is it getting more popular? Ever since Avatar came out no movie has been credited on its usage of 3d, gaming 3d has been out for some time and little to nobody bought it, and only reason 3d TV sales are on the rise is because every mid-high tier TV now comes with 3d compatibility and people just buy new TVs.
