$599 converts to 699€? (UPDATE: total 741€)

seriously? this should be 550€

i paid $130 for shipping and taxes for the DK2, does that mean I'll end up with something like 800€ with shipping and taxes?

UPDATE: It now says TAX is included and including shipping it will total approximately 741€

UPDATE2: Oculus community manager cybereality has confirmed that the EU prices include VAT (sales tax), so we only have to pay extra for shipping and customs.

$599 convert to 556.95€ right now. As an example the german sales tax of 19% would raise that to 662,77€. On top of that we have shipping (probably $40 or more) and customs, which can be 0% to 14%. So yeah, 740€ seems about right to me.

Yeah it's completely ludicrous. I was actually set on pre-ordering one if it was at least in the 500-600€ range, but this is so silly. I don't even want to know what the shipping cost will be.

699€ - without shipping, without taxes?

Are you f serious? :twisted:

Combined and converted to USD that would be in the 900-950$ range !

Oculus failed so hard. Furthermore, they're betraying Europeans. Just a rip-off, nothing else. Good luck to all developers for developing games for maybe 100k sold CV1s. Honestly, why would people develop games for CV1 when they could develop games for Android with a few hundred million devices...

I cannot understand the addition of €142 ($152).
This would be on top of the customs and shipping costs that would ultimately bring the cost up to nearly €900.

I held off on the kickstarter €350 as Palmer Luckey said only to purchase if a serious about developing for it
(I would only have ported one of my Unity demos, nothing serious)

This is too much, I would pay €600 without complaint, but that is too rich considering I will be spending €1200-€1500 on a PC that can run it.

I'll probably hold off until its in shops.

It clearly says: "You'll be charged when your order ships. Tax is included in order total."

So no surprises at the door...
