What prevents you from just getting the dev kit and using it to run things?

Surely it can't be that hard to set up.

Last time I checked the dev kits were being sold for like $300-400 though.

Their website is sold out and now they're like $700-800 on eBay I guess but still. Not only do I think $630 is outrageous but I'm double not going to get it because I could have had the dev kit a few months ago for $300 cheaper and that's just stupid.

When they first came out they were in the range of $1500+ I think. We had one at a former employer. Maybe those lower fees were just for the updated hardware that they pushed ~1.5 to 2 years ago?

I think it's pretty expensive cause the technology is so new and there's no real defined market for who's going to buy it yet so they're probably producing it relatively small scale. If it gets popular and they can ramp up production then by the time the future models roll out it will probably be more in line with what you'd expect.

I can't say I'm that interested in them yet, it seems cool conceptually but with very little content ready. I'll wait a couple years to see if it takes off or flops.

The Dev kits have lower resolution screens. That's also why they are so expensive because it is not cheap getting crazy high PPI screens

There is a market for $800 monitors and $150 keyboards. There is absolutely a market for a $650 VR experience. A lot of people will spend almost half that on headphones alone.

I'm sorry op, they will sell great at $650 even though next years model will be cheaper and better.
