DVtimes still an idiot on January 4th.

I have the developers kit and its pretty cool. Can't wait to see what the finished product will be like.

[Mr Pheer]

My credit card is standing by, and I dont even give a shit how much it costs.

[darnit]

This is actually pretty exciting. FINALLY.

Curious who's producing adult content for the platform - film, not 3DGFX... I have a decent budget and a half dozen GoPro's I already use but no idea where to begin other than some experimentation with G Cardboard. I've seen some really really amateur stuff and some more polished examples of what's possible.

Anyone who has experience DM me. Would love to chat.

I tried Samsung Gear VR with a Galaxy S6 and still wasn't all that impressed. A lot better than cardboard, but I could still see some pixelation, and still felt like I was looking through binoculars with a limited peripheral view.

If occulus doesn't improve on those 2 factors, bleh.

Content can still be pirated and watched on this device right?

Just wondering, not saying it's not a good opportunity to make content and make money, just wondering if there's any change at all to the pirating angle

yes, yes - doing samples right now - Heros suck when it comes to lighting

[SirBunnz]

Yup, definitely ordering one, for gaming. I've played one of the release games (Eve Valkyrie) and even 2 years ago with the kit then, it was amazing.

[Feng-PD]

$599 for US and 699eu for EUROPE! (excl shipping)

Did you get it through their Kickstarter or second hand? I read yesterday that Kickstarter funders would be getting a retail version as well.
