I want one so badly. How much will the retail version be and when is an official version gonna be available in general market retail?

I think $400 would be reasonable but I personally might be able to go a couple of hundred above that if it's good quality and there's widespread support from PC games.

initialy they wanted to make the retail version ~$300, but they stated that recent additions added a bit to the price, so I'd expect the device itself to cost $300-450

but keep in mind that you need a pretty good pc to deliever the minimum of 60 fps you need for an unimpared VR experience, especially if you plan to play more demanding games

Yeah, that might become a problem to all people who play on outdated PCs or a laptop, but I personally think I will be fine since I soon plan to purchase a mighty PC system with the AMD FX-8350 and Radeon R9 290. Together with the Rift it's gonna be so sweet.

What's your plan?
