The Oculus Rift headset may soon be available. Price may be a bit high for some though. What does everyone think :

That price tag is nearly as much as I get *per* month to live on. Sorry but I have more important things to buy. :P

It's a little steep for my liking, so I'm probably going to wait it out a bit. The best thing about waiting though is that the price goes down and they usually improve the product as well. I'm personally looking forward to using Playstation VR, so we'll see how things work out.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

Did anyone get this yet? I'm interested to know how good this will be.

I tried some VR devices for the smartphone in Best Buy, and I am not terribly impressed. Granted, it was Google cardboard, but I'm wondering how much better VR can get.
