But for this price you have a fully, standalone product and Oculus is just an addon. You must buy a very strong PC and some applications. With TV you dont have to spent extra money. Even though, the price would be ok if there were really cool stuff but there is almost nothing. Devs are working for 2 years on their projects and they/we have spent a lot of money on it. Our future is dependent of the VR buyers. We cant sell our products if there will be no one using it. I bet that almost half of the buyers today were devs. We need the VR to be bought by ordinary Joe and not rich people or big companies. Maybe you will use it for fun but most of us are using it to generate money and we need to think about the future of our companies. I dont care what Palmer sais about the high price. By the end only the price for the product matters. Who cares about some PR talk if it still doesnt change the price? I need to make calculation based on the people response etc and today I saw few thousands negative post all over the net and this is not a good sign.

Just give it time, VR will gradually lower in price, and will get better over time.
