I remember 2 years ago (2017) when people would come to this forum to brag about TPCast and the Vive. All the rage back then was how Vive is going cable-free and poor 'ol Rift CV1 owners are still having to run cables for VR.Here we are in 2019 and TPCast turned out to be crap (literally burning peoples scalps).
Meanwhile, in Oculus Land we are getting pure Wireless Stand Alone with Quest and Inside-Out Tracking for Rift-S; yet Oculus products are still supposed to act as the object of ridicule. It's silly!😄

Certainly not bashing Rift for heavy pricing $399 is not lof of money...Rift S is good and same time not cheap for what changes has been done to original CV1 which was last sold at $350.

I think highend Rift 2 is on hold for a reason and Rift -S will be available soon for a good reason. First of all it's to get as many people into VR as possible with a cheaper headset that doesn't require you to have a Graphics Card that cost £1000 plus. It's only when hardware becomes cheap enough that it does make sense to build a highend headset. All that might change though once eye tracking is available at the right price.

$399 is by no mean a cheap pricing... If that were the case they should have released Rift S at $ 300 they didn't its even expensive to CV1 with constellation at last known price $350. Agreed they improved little on resolution but did cut corner by down grade to LCD from original OLED, that too single only so no scope of physical IPD change.. So there are many mix bag decisions gone in to it... some reviewer did gone to length of calling Rift S means Rift Sh#!
I suspect $399 is a starting price that will drop in the not to distant future, but if you think $399 is a lot of money then how do you feel about paying over £1000 for a Geforce 2080Ti? I don't find $399 a lot of money when I consider what I'm getting for that price. You make the Rift -S sound like it's shite when all the hands on reviews have been fairly positive.
Lets just see what the Valve Index costs and what tech it has built in. But if it's got eye tracking and higher resolution screens what would you say would be a fair price for Valve Index

@Dilip - When you come back to me with a price on what you think the Valve index should cost if it has eye tracking and higher resolutions screens. Can I just remind you that PSVR has sold over 4 million VR headsets, which requires just one camera and the resolution is poorer then CV1. The cost of PS -VR and controllers right now is over £350.
The Rift -S trumps PS-VR, in every department, so a lot of people will argue it's worth £399.

@Dilip - The CV1 came with lots of free games more then the 2 free games that PS-VR offered, so not sure what you mean? I'm also getting confused when you are comparing the price of console and PC. Why should Oculus drop their price of their headset just because a PC is more expensive then a console?
