Is anyone really going to be surprised with the way Oculus has been going. +that HTC vive looks like something out of that ghost in shell or whatever anime

I'd love either a Rift or Vive but those prices just for the HMD are in the realms of nuts, I could get it but I couldn't justify spending £500 on something I'd use for maybe 1 or 2 games.

It's no surprise with all the shipping problems Oculus had. There was a lot of orders canceled, and they bought the Vive. Add in the fact you have people like Barnecules putting out several videos of the Vive, and showing the tracking is so good, he can flip the controllers and still catch them in mid air. People on Youtube are not covering the Oculus like the Vive. It's just getting more attention.

Good. They shouldn't have sold out to Facebook.

Without facebook they would never have released a product. Their conduct and their package as a whole stinks though, if you look at the vive as a package, yeah its 100 dollar more, but its actually worth that much more because of the kit thats in it and as proven, it just works, without any drm nonsense that thankfully ocolus pulled a u turn on but yeah, the damage is done.

well i thought they gone and messed up when they sent out rifts to stock shelves in retail places rather than send out the pre orders..

there is no way people who preordered the rift should have been able to get a vive before the rift arrived..
but they did, and then everything they did after that was just even worse publicity.

Id probably still buy a rift if they managed to knock the price down to ~£200
the games i play where id use it i wouldnt need snazzy controllers or be able to walk.
but at the same time i wouldnt like to spend more than £40 on peripherals per game which would mean combined id be willing to spend £200 for a combined peripheral
