I seriously don't understand the uproar. If you want a large, quality PC monitor? $500+. Large quality 4k TV for console? $1000+. A freaking virtual reality headset, which would probably be the most immersive you could ever be into a video game? 600-700$ Sound fair to me. Cry babies.

Yeah it was a matter of badly managed expectations, Occulus has been talking about a much lower price point pretty much forever.
I think it's a reasonable price point for what it is, but I can understand the backlash and I certainly would rather by a headset from someone other than Facebook.

True, kind of a 'bait and switch' deal. But once the masses cool down, and the initial reviews come in, we'll see if it's really worth it.

Well, they've been claiming that they were aiming for a $300 price point. Also, the development kits were a lot cheaper.
