VR has been "any day now" for decades. Nobody wants it or we would have it already. |

Something that was promised by sci-fi, but for a couple decades the technology was too poor to meet expectations. Yet, in the last half-decade, the technology finally delivered and tablets are starting to become mainstream. Once VR technology hits the point of delivering what was originally promised, I think you'll see more widespread adoption of VR. |

And the price has been revealed: $599. I'm assuming that's in USD, which means for Canadian customers like myself, it would end up being over $800 after foreign exchange. Coupled with the cost of shipping and taxes, plus upgrading my graphics card, and that prices me out of the market for this. Oh well. edited: Saw it posted that w/ taxes and shipping, it's over $900 for Canadian customers. Screw that. Seems like a lot of people are being turned off by the price. |
