And I agree £1 is not $1 and the prices should reflect the actual value not the same numerical value.

Well you shouldn't forget the dollar price is without VAT, and the pound price is including VAT, also you have to take into account for the shipping costs and importduties (the device is not made in the UK or shipped from)..
It's still not the same if you factor in all these extra costs, but it comes very close..

Nice try but Oculus has a UK warehouse... and £350 dollar is currently £223.52... are you saying you pay an additional £126.48 in tax on $350??
Nope I didn't think so....

Simply put... VR for console will be Vr Lite....
Then what does that make the Gear VR?
Gear VR is even lighter than Console.... why is it such a shock or question??

And there are of course those who are VR enthusiasts who will go out and spend £2000 right of the bat.... But enthusiasts are limited....

So if you are a console gamer... sorry you will have to put up with a cut down experience.... Either get used to it or upgrade...

I do not doubt that a console is going to have to make some compromises to eye candy..... but that being said, with its stable, consistent hardware and generally more efficient OS consoles punch above their weight compared to a PC.
furthermore consoles may lack a bit of grunt.... but they are WAY more powerful than a mobile phone and yet people seem to be having fun out of the many mobile platforms out there.
So yes, on 1 hand I agree, PC will be the place to be for the top end VR, but I disagree that there will not be some really cool experiences on the console VR as well................
also, I have to hand it to sony. their morpheus to me looks to beat the rift hands down when it comes to a novel head mounting system.
