Has anyone ordered... or is seriously thinking about ordering the Oculus Dev Kit 2 ?
I wasn't but then I heard the news that the consumer version "should" be ready sometime in 2015... adding "the company would be "disappointed" if the virtual reality headset wasn't on shelves by 2016". All of this makes you wonder if it will be nearly 2 years before the final retail version hits the shops?
The $350 cost of the dev kit doesn't seem bad, but you have to add another $150 for shipping and Vat, so it is actually $500, which I think equates to £300?
I must confess I am tempted, as my favorite game (project cars) supports it.... and the Virtuix Omni treadmill is supposed to be available September too!
.... or of course I could be just be pissing a whole lot of money down the drain.... (again)?
What are your thoughts?
