$200 and I would put it on my wish list. $100 and I would buy immediately. Nothing wrong with my monitor so VR would be a gimmick. Rather get 1440p ultra wide.

Current PC: Origin Millennium- i7 5820K @4.0GHz | GTX 980Ti SLI | X99 Deluxe

It's not so much about price as it is about how good it is (for me, at least). I bought the Oculus Rift DK2 for around £600, mainly to experience what it's like. While it's cool, it was a very long way from being "ready". I'm expecting it to be a similar situation with the consumer headsets. Maybe I'll invest in it in a couple of generations time.

I think I agree with you. It's super neat. But switching from using a 4K native display all the time to a device with a much lower pixel count. My sensitivity to aliasing and pixels makes it pretty hard to peripatetic it.

I wouldn't, you look very retarded sitting around your room with that thing on your head.

 

But if I had to, £300 is the maximum  I think.

For someone that wouldn't you are willing to spend a lot more than the people here.

i think prices will be lower when more 3rd party companies make VR headsets
that would probably happen when there's many popular games that has VR compatibility as an option not as a requirement

I think I'd be willing to pay $400, but I'd want better specs than the PS4 headset. I'd also want a good number of games. Regardless, I'm not buying anything until at least the second generation.

600$. But only when enough good Games support it. I mean real Games, not VR Demos.

I'd pay $400 in a heartbeat for a Vive. Still considering getting a Vive, even for $800. I want so badly. 

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

Considering it is in similitude with a 1440p monitor in terms of pixel count, and is a 90Hz display... (Grossly simplifying, I know.) 

 

$100 worth of value on top of that in the form of VR experience...

 

$500

$150 and I would buy it right now, $300 and I would buy it next pay day.  My biggest problem right now with the $800 price tag is that I also need to upgrade my GPU.  I ran the SteamVR test (which I knew I would fail) but it made my machine cry.  Not that it will come as any surprise to anyone but an Radeon HD 7770 is not VR Ready.  lol

 

Also I am getting married in the fall, and weddings are expensive.

 

That said my office has some consumer editions ordered so at least I will probably get to play with the Oculus pretty soon.

For me its less about the price of the hardware and more about the technology having widespread support and integration in AAA titles, when/if it ever hits that point i'll go buy a headset regardless of cost.
