Too many console gamers in here thinking this is overly expensive. New tech isn't cheap, wait for it to become cheaper if you want, but by then the Rift 2 will be out.
They clearly want the Rift to be very premium and of very high quality, something the PSVR is not aiming nearly as high for. If I am spending money on VR, its not going to be on the knockoff version.
Honestly, if it's really cool I can see myself saving up $350 for it. Really, at that point it'd be such a unique experience which warrants, in my mind, a price similar to a console.
Heck, my video card cost more than that. I'd probably just start putting $50 aside a week and get it eventually... assuming, again, that it's awesome. When I think of the potential it might have for a game like Alien: Isolation, though, I really get psyched for it.

So the Oculus Rift will cost around $399 (I hope it includes the camera and a pair of Oculus Touch) and needs a PC with at least an R9 290 or GTX 970... Yeah.
See, that's where Oculus chances to succeed are going.

I'm probably just going to buy one vr headset. The price doesn't matter as long as the one I get is the best one available (games, support, quality, comfort).
Which platforms will support which? I only know a little with the PlayStation one. If Occulus is PC only, they may have decided for me. I'm a console gamer.

The Rift will be PC only. There was some speculation that it will be able to run on the Xbox One, but Oculus has said that they aren't really close to that happening. I imagine mostly because it would require the Xbox One to run a game in 2160 X 1200 at 60 fps.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

It will include the sensor (camera) and an Xbox One controller but the touch controllers aren't due out until later. I should also point out It will also come with removable headphones.

Dead on arrival...

If it doesn't include the Touch controllers, then it's even worse.
Playing VR games with a regular controller kind of breaks the immersion.

doubtful.
psvr has lower specs and the business model is to sell hardware at cost so that they can software with the royalty fees. OR is going pc so they'll have to sell the hardware at a profit to make money since there are no royalties.
psvr will probably be $200 to $300 depending on how much sony is willing to substidize it.
