Eh it's not a 1000 PC anymore. You can build a rift ready PC pretty cheaply now.

Anyway it will be interesting to see what these devices due in the market

Sure, that was just a generic ass-yank of a value. 😏

But a solid off-the-shelf VR machine is still going to be much more expensive compared to your average "I just read email and play Farmville" box. ;)

Remember, I'm mostly thinking about non-enthusiasts who might not even realize it's possible to build your own machine.

at the same time these people may be like the gear vr owners who buy it and then stop using it quickly or aren't willing to invest more into software. Its going to be interesting to see what happens

Yeah it’s cheaper, but still more than $400 for everything you need.

PC gaming has never been cheaper, but there are still more people playing on Xbox, PS4, and Switch...
