You dinguses, this isn't for the mainstream.
I've read it (VR) has to be like 4k and 90fps to even be truly immersive.
Sounds to me we are not even close.
VR isn't happening any time soon. That price and 2016 in general is for early adopters. This was always going to be the case.
Eventually, maybe a year or two from now, they'll be selling a Rift and a fully built PC that can run Rift games flawlessly for $599. The headset itself will probably be down to $200 or $300. At that point, we will probably start seeing some serious shit.

facebook isn't interested in the VR equivalent of indie wrestling fans

It'll take some time, and I'm fine with buying another one down the line. That said, there's a ton of shit I want to experience NOW that exists, so it's a justified purchase for me.
What I mean is this launch. It needs to get out there in peoples' hands first. Then people will make more for it, etc. It's not at a competitive price point, it's basically sold at cost, so, with time it'll eventually hit it out of the park. A couple iterations and it'll boom. I'm fine with mine being "this old-ass Oculus" but goddamn I'm psyched for the future, and for the non-gaming stuff too.

I give it two more iterations until it becomes mainstream.
Anyway watching the RTE Devitt documentary and Anderson and the crew just seem like the biggest bros. You can see the sadness in them when talking about Devitt leaving. Especially Sad Luck Fale. But now given the fact that they could going over to WWE must mean the world to Devitt.

They're selling it at cost, not getting every penny out of it. There's a lot of implementations for VR that are fascinating and not baby Sony games.

if the tech is as revolutionary and game changing as every article the past 3 years or so has claimed, it's worth that price.

I'm ambivalent to give VR shit since I've never tried a Rift or any device so I'll take the word of anyone who actually used one rather than someone just calling it a fad with nothing to base it off of.
In terms of gaming it's going to be a flash in the pan just like motion controls and 3D. It'll probably gain some ground in some other areas
and by other areas i mean porn

I fucked with an old DK2 and that shit changed my life. VR is the future no doubt.
1.  Virtual Reality will turn out to be a dud. Great initial wow experience, but ultimately just a big chunk of tech that will collect dust in the corner. At some point (years out) the right mixture of power, size, price, and reality technology will combine into a device that will see mass adoption (likely first in AR not VR). This is a very big chicken and egg problem, and sadly youre going to need a lot of eggs. Without ongoing titles (with a true order of magnitude improvement over standard reality) consumers will always take the path of least resistance, that is, just watching normal TV and/or playing standard video games. I see this very much like the Wii controller, innovative, sure, but in the drawer after the novelty wears off. I dont believe the hype and avoid investments in the VR space.
Well, Kevin Rose said so.!

It doesn't even need to take off for it to be worth it to me. I've tried it, it's amazing and worth MY time. It'd be dope if it succeeded and lots of people got into it, but it doesn't matter with me.
Real talk - this is seriously all that's important if you're willing to drop 600 on it

You know it be true, the only way VR could truly breakout into the mainstream is if they kiosk the fuck out of it in malls and shopping outlets (aka malls)
Or if Apple gets into it for double the price cause ya know, Apple!

"This isn't for mainstream" - only ever said to try and justify something that everyone in the universe knows will fail
I remember when they said the Ouya wasn't for mainstream
I miss the Ouya. That was complete shit, but at least it was hilarious to watch fail

Well then Vince would lose the people
I mean Roman is clearly over. Did you see him last Monday

Close to two I think. And then WBs jumped ship to SONY and it was all over.

vince embodies a character wracked with inner turmoil. He is forced to keep the people he hates around because they make him the most money.
It's deep, goddamnit.

Remember when people left Avatar and swore this time 3D was here to stay
That shit was DOA and everyone knew it. They were stupid to even attempt it when it became clear that the vast majority of the content and hardwareproducers were choosing Blu-ray.
Those are the same people that swear that VR will be the next thing.
Guess what people, it won't.
At least in the consumer space.

Elite: Dangerous in VR is wonderful. Man.
Austin was something trully special. His promos and storylines (for the most part) are untouchable.
His image, attitude, song, accent, etc, everything just works so damn well.

Judge Mills Lane confirming Austin is due for a title shot on Raw via titantron.

Looking through wrestling tweets and whatnot, it astounds me at how many actual marks that there are out there who genuinely believe that Nak or AJ could literally show up at the Rumble and win the title.
Just like that.
Even more who seriiously buy into storyline business.
Just on Twitter?
