Calling $600/£500. See how good I am at speculation in a couple of days then.

 

[KingSnake]

Preorders with no price? They should do a bid. Top 1000 offers get it.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Them seemingly not giving a price before pre-orders go live doesn't bode well for wallets.

 

[Bartholomuse]

Didn't think they'd keep the price that close to the chest when there's only two days left, is there any kind of live event happening on the 6th?

 

[low-G]

Its gonna be $599 and it will still sell out.

Because they will make 10,000.

 

[jasminlovesyoux]

Well, I'm not committing my credit card information to something without knowing the price.

If there is no price I consider this more of putting yourself in line on a waiting list.

This does seem like a waiting list sort of thing, even if they are actually going to take credit info ect. I'm really interested in how much these vr devices are going to cost though. For me that's honestly the biggest factor in purchasing the first generation of them or not.

 

[grendelrt]

if your MB is usb 2.0. chances are that your system is not fast enough to provide the ideal VR experience anyway.

I7 930 at 4ghz has served me well up to this point. Doubt it would be an issue.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Interesting that they would announce you can preorder it before they announce any other details. It's most likely going to drop for $650+ in March or April.

 

[Blanquito]

Still think it's cool that EVE is bundled.

 

[Faith]

Finally!

I don't care about the price.

 

[dmr87]

Gonna sell out so fast.

 

[John Rabbit]

Them seemingly not giving a price before pre-orders go live doesn't bode well for wallets.

as much as I want to root for Oculus and the success of VR in general, the way they've been handling the release of info for this thing has been annoying.

 

[Anth0ny]

SHIT SON

give me a price give me a date

 

[Dreamwriter]

"Most likely" based on what?

 

[spannicus]

Hopefully the website wont crash when i go to check out like the 20th anniversary ps4 did haha.

 

[StudioTan]

My credit card is ready.

 

[Bookoo]

Why do people think they aren't going to tell us a price before preorders?

 

[Trickster]

No price still? They must be fucking terrified of the reaction or something, only reason I can think of honestly.

 

[Possumowner]

Now the short waiting game,to decide if my wallet can take it

 

[SensibleSucker]

Anything under £500 will be a nice surprise.

 

[Dreamwriter]

No price still? They must be fucking terrified of the reaction or something, only reason I can think of honestly.

How about waiting until a planned full press conference to announce the price? That's a reason I can think of.

 

[BiggNife]

Why do people think they aren't going to tell us a price before preorders?

Because it's crazy they haven't announced a price already.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Super fucking lame they're not announcing price beforehand.

Also wanted more info on both Oculus launch and what Vive has up its sleeves too.

War. War never changes.

 

[Galava]

Has Oculus a CES 2016 presentation?

 

[Bookoo]

Because it's crazy they haven't announced a price already.

I guess, but it doesn't really matter until pre-orders open.

 

[The Elite]

Is there anything pointing to Sony making their price/date announcements at CES?

 

[spannicus]

Because it's crazy they haven't announced a price already.

1000 us Dinero that website homepage makes me want to stick a tomato in that guys mouth. A spicy tomato.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I will pre-order immediately at $400 and below. I'll have to think about anything over $400 but I'll likely pre-order just in case so I can cancel if I change my mind.

 

[Goreomedy]

Why would they announce price then give you two days to talk yourself out of a purchase?

 

[Galava]

Below $400 is ok. If it's above, man, they ain't getting my monies

(It will cost 500 or more sure)

 

[chrominance]

Part of me is all I'LL FIGHT ALL OF YOU THE RIFT IS MINE, and part of me is worried it'll be a bajillion Canadian dollars. So I guess we'll see.

Spoiler

I'll still fight all of you

 

[amnesiac]

Is there anything pointing to Sony making their price/date announcements at CES?

There's a picture of the PSVR in a blurb from Sony... Nothing else though.

Why would they announce price then give you two days to talk yourself out of a purchase?

It's going to sell out regardless

 

[Soi-Fong]

Yus!!! So excited! And this is coming from a guy who's been developing on the HTC Vive. lol

Hopefully, the prices isn't any more than $500.

 

[silvermember]

Hoping for $400, but thinking probably $500. Palmer recently said they are good at keeping their promises and linked to an article where Brendan said the total package for Oculus is $1500 (which included the price estimate of a $1000 dollar VR ready PC)

Yep, I think it is a great idea to spend 400 on a piece of equipment when you don't meet the recommended requirement especially for a platform that ONLY works if you meet the requirements.

 

[spannicus]

Sure preorders will be on ebay for thousands of dollars.

 

[Sidewinder]

In my world "We’ll be sharing everything you need to know to order your Rift on Wednesday when pre-orders go live" means price and release date.

Finally! PSVR next please.

 

[Alexlf]

Almost want to take the day off to assure I get one... currently putting together a script to text me when the front page changes. I must get in on the preorders.

 

[Lord Griegous]

Will it be global preorders? Do we know? I am interested for Europe.

 

[Vuze]

And so it begins... not sure if I will pick it up at 399$+ tho

 

[Man]

$499 is my bet.

 

[Goreomedy]

It's going to sell out regardless

Preorders can out-pace stock. Apple loves having that problem...

 

[Dreamwriter]

I was playing Elite Dangerous all New Years weekend in the Oculus DK2. I really can't wait to get the lighter, more comfortable version with built-in headphones and higher resolution.

 

[Jimrpg]

I think that's obvious at this point.

If the price point isn't revealed until the preorder goes live that points to be it being more expensive than what a lot of people are hoping for. They are relying on impulse buys instead of giving you the price early and having people rationally talk themselves out of it.

Yeah this is the first time ive seen a company release the mainline product information and pre-order at the same. Apple at least has a conference and then preorderes opens after a few days.

The first batch of rifts are going to sell out on the first day.

 

[Genio88]

It has to be at most 399, 1$ more than that and i'll wait until price cut or a good ebay deal

 

[YuShtink]

FIIIINALLYYYYY!


3 long years in the making. Don't even care what the price is at this point. I will be pressing pre-order Wednesday morning.

 

[StudioTan]

No price still? They must be fucking terrified of the reaction or something, only reason I can think of honestly.

CES hasn't started yet. They said they would give people a head's up about when pre-orders will go live before they do it (which is what this is) but they weren't going to be announcing the price before CES.

 

[Jimrpg]

As long as the price holds, then I'll be happy.

I'll be mad if they sell it at $700 and then a month later sell it for $500 or less and screw over the early adopters.

They're going to try and make as much money off the early adopters as possible and I'm expecting the software on the rift store to be expensive too.

 

[Bookoo]

Yep, I think it is a great idea to spend 400 on a piece of equipment when you don't meet the recommended requirement especially for a platform that ONLY works if you meet the requirements.

What?...Not exactly sure what you are getting at. Some people already have a PC that meets the requirements.

 

[metareferential]

Pre-ordering the shit out of this thing xD

It's a matter of completing a collection, now, after dk1 and 2 xD

Hopefully you can pre-order more than one set.

 

[Faith]

I will pre-order immediately at $1000 and below. I'll have to think about anything over $1000 but I'll likely pre-order just in case so I can cancel if I change my mind.

I mean, I really don't care about the price. I want this so badly! The DK2 changed my life.
