Reader Discussion: We Want Your Reactions To The Oculus Rift Price
Earlier today, Oculus opened pre-orders for the first consumer Rift virtual reality headset. Along with that, we finally learned what it will cost to bring VR into your house.
For many, the $600 price point was surprising, but reactions differed. Some people are calling it a signal of the technology's early death. Others are less pessimistic.
We're curious to hear what you have to say. If you don't plan on buying a Rift at launch, are you waiting for PlayStation VR or the HTC Vive? If price is the issue, what is your threshhold?
Apart from your personal interest (or disinterest) in the medium, how do you expect pricing to change? How long do you think it will take before the format moves from the early adopter phase into mainstream adoption? Let us know in the comments.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
