Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus, confirmed that the VR headset will cost as much as a new console.


Although the number $350 is discouraging to those eagerly awaiting the headset, Luckey says that the cost is not to boost price margins, but rather to provide the highest quality possible for the VR. Because the technology is new, outsourcing its components is fairly expensive. If the market grows, the price will drop on future models (much like the early days of DVDs and home computers).

Luckey explains,

' you='' know,='' i’m='' going='' to='' be='' perfectly='' honest='' with='' you.='' we’re='' roughly='' in='' that='' ballpark…='' but='' it’s='' going='' to='' cost='' more='' than='' that.='' and='' the='' reason='' for='' that='' is='' that='' we’ve='' added='' a='' lot='' of='' technology='' to='' this='' thing='' beyond='' what='' existed='' in='' the='' dk1='' and='' dk2=''>

Srovnatelně, Sony House Andrew říká, že PlayStation VR poběží přibližně ve stejné výši.

Luckey říká, že se zaměřují na kvalitu produktu více než cokoliv jiného. Což dává smysl, protože pokud kupující mají pocit, že si koupili kvalitní, dobře vyrobený výrobek, pak se vrátí na 2. kolo.


Oculus Rift bude vydán v dubnu 2015.
