@PalmerLuckey does not matter, You are going to lose way more @+500 then -500.. Learn the PS3 now.

@EvoDriver_1 How would we lose less by selling more units at a greater loss?

@PalmerLuckey Your developers are getting hit by not being able to sell to more people, more people who buy = more revenue for you in softwa

@PalmerLuckey this is better than a cheap TV, so I think the price is well justified

@misuzulive Exactly!

.@PalmerLuckey $600.00 for a 1st gen VR device isn't obscenely cheap. Insulting your customer base's intelligence isn't a very good idea imo

@Intrinsic29 Seriously. People have problems plunking down for a $300 console or PC graphics card, let alone a niche device. @PalmerLuckey

@shnrvr82 @Intrinsic29 @PalmerLuckey how would you guys even know? have you attempted to build a VR headset? if it's too $$$ don't buy it

@gooeyblob stop downplaying it, OR had a massive kickstarter campaign and then recieved billions from Facebook. @Intrinsic29 @PalmerLuckey

@shnrvr82 @Intrinsic29 @PalmerLuckey i don't know what is surprising about this. if you feel it's too expensive, don't buy it. pretty simple

.@gooeyblob @shnrvr82 @PalmerLuckey In fact, it's extremely useful for the company itself to see that dissatisfaction expressed.

@Intrinsic29 @shnrvr82 @PalmerLuckey yes i am sure they are all sitting around HQ so glad that Intrinsic29 is tweeting garbage at them

@gooeyblob @shnrvr82 @PalmerLuckey I represent a tiny part of the backlash against this decision, but the overall backlash itself isn't tiny

@PalmerLuckey the problem is the expectation. Months ago "in the ballpark" of 350$ isn't 600$ to most people.

@PalmerLuckey Why the complaints? An iPhone is $700. People need some perspective. The Vive won't be any cheaper. $599 is a steal.

@ChrisUnderoath @PalmerLuckey only an idiot buy a phone for 700usd when you can get it much cheaper due to contract reductions...

@LichValidus @ChrisUnderoath @PalmerLuckey Not including the fact that the phone is used all the time every day. The Rift won't.

@YaleE21 @LichValidus @PalmerLuckey comes down to whether or not the price is worth it to you. It is to me. Price will come down in time.

@ChrisUnderoath @YaleE21 @LichValidus @PalmerLuckey The price will come down in time if the hardware is not $600 worth. Otherwise no.

@shawnlemon00 @YaleE21 @LichValidus They've stated they are selling the hardware at cost. Granted, THAT cost is bound to come down.
