Then it takes more of a system than most think.

To run this silly tech takes a system that only the Truely Elite of our Master Race own.

Which would perhaps make sense if it were a graphics processor as well, but there is nothing standalone about the device. You first have to own a PC about as good as Coyote's or mine, and then you have to shell out the equivalent of a mid-range gaming PC on the device.

Yeah, I've got better things to spend $599 on at the moment.

And they said it would be in the ballpark of $349, multiple times.

Then they said it would be over $350.

What a shitstorm they received for that, Reddit and social media tore them a new one.

It's gonna bomb.

Not necessarily, but it definitely will be a niche product for people with higher-end rigs. I definitely will be buying a VR headset, but I'm not sold on Facebook's Oculus.

Vive looks cool, if they announce HL3 for it I'm building a new computer.

The first one that's 399 will be the one I get.
