Yea, because everyone has a couple thousand laying around to drop on a PC.

You dont need a couple of thousand to be able to play games on PC though ;o

 

My 2010 HP pavilion was worth $400 when I bought it and the GFX card I upgraded to cost me $180 after a $20 rebate. I can play 95% of the games at 60 FPS at ultra settings ;o.

The other 5% are 45-55 fps l0l

@Topic - I doubt VR is gonna do much period especially for PC. If anything majority of people who invest on VR on PC will more than likely get it for hentai games :p

 

Yeah, the myth of "thousands of dollars for PC" is very much alive and kicking around here...which is starting to be quite absurd.

Still, for recommended Oculus specs you do need $900-1000 PC...plus probably some $400 for Oculus.
