might be worth it to wait for the vive, evidently they've got some really cool stuff going on with the camera on the front. that and the oculus controllers won't be ready till q2. and the 275 price might be wrong, could be 350.

For usability purposes, it's usually worth it to wait on new hardware. Much like software, you generally don't want the 1.0 release unless you're a crazy nerd who wants to test/hack it. (some of us are and just beg for the pain of figuring out what went wrong in the code/design) If you're paying for a consumer product, then you usually want it to go through a few revisions after being released to the wild to become what it aimed to be in the first place.

I found http://cmoar.com/ which is basically an expensive Google Cardboard, but you can also get a screen add-on with an HDMI input for $300, so that seems like a pretty good deal

well, the first iphones were stupid expensive and were obsolete quickly. it's the cost of bleeding edge. they also have no direct competition for the next few months. expect prices to drop as competitors come along and supply increases.
they won't be that expensive forever, judging a technology by its debut price is short sighted. plus there's really only like 2 real games, it is still very much an infant product.

Yeah I get that, but I don't think the next one is going to cost much less than $400 and I've never spent anything even close to that on a gaming accessory.

when they hit 199 everyone will finally get them. i think vr will continue to be niche for a few years though and remain expensive for a good while.

Except that the rift in the US costs $599 but when you change shipping location to somewhere in the EU it jumps to €699. That is $763. And it does not include shipping. What the fuck.
