Your are right, all thouse first where expensive, but for a reason, they where needed. They where all a stand alone product like a celllphone and stuff ike that. This is not a stand alone product, this requires a $350 machine for it to work and to boot, its only a peripheral that adds very little to the alreaady functionallity of the device, this is worse for the rift, that while costing more also requires a much more expensive machine to work of.

This wont be for hardcore gamers like some say, cuz hardcore gamers will play a game no matter what and paying so much more, just for a diferent point of view will not influence manny. This is in my opinion, to atract a diferent demographic. The ones that get impreses with new tech, no matter how useles it is. like the apple fans.  Peple who buy the "it" device just because. Then hook them into gaming. Use them to lay the foundation while developing the real killer apps and reduce the price to atttract the hardcore and casuals.

VCR player is a standalone device? From my extremely short list from thousands of possible devices, 1 isn't a standalone device. And how were any of them needed? Maybe some are now a staple of everyday life, but were they when they released.




Yes the VCR player is a stand alone device. You can use it on any TV and it was needed if you wanted to be able to watch your movies anytime you wanted.

Clearly TV was needed or how else would you watch your games? movies?, whatever else..

Phones where needed to keep in contact with people and making doing so faster and easier then sending a letter.

VR is something in its current forum thats great and good and i love the experience but its still something thats not needed Since users can still play their games without one. You couldnt watch your movies without a TV, You couldnt play your Movies anytime you wanted without a VCR, and you couldnt talk to a person miles away in real time without a phone.
