_Acoustic_ Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeah something is odd with that for sure. @Derek, not sure if you can or not... I went ahead and ordered it, figure I can always sell it if need be but I'm still a little taken back about the price, was thinking $475. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=DECOY= Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The joke is...they recommend me buying a slower processor. What a cock up. Too expensive, no specs, and secret shipping costs. No dice. shipping to UK is £30 Inc taxes. it tells you when ordering. payment taken when shipped Water cooled i9-9900K | Maximus Code XI MB | RTX3090 | 64GB | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaD CrC Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 For the US, total is 629$. Shipping April 2016. And no, you can order only one per account. If I can't run it on my PC, I can still sell it back in Europe. I am flying there every 2 months. At least, I won't loose money. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorStrop Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Who does these conversion rates $600 = £410, where has the other £90 come from? UK customers get arse raped again. I was expecting Vive to cost £500 not Rift. but I get two games (that I cannot choose) and a xBox controller (to go with the one I already have) for the additional £200. Not to mention potential for £100 VAT charge + £30 shipping.

Warthog_Farmer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Well I'm UK and I ordered without hesitation... Maybe because I had a DK2 for a while and was blown away by the immersion (then I sold it for a nice little profit after advertising for what I paid - 2 buyers got carried away and bid against each other) Simming is expensive. We all know that... I put a 980Ti in when they released in preparation for Oculus and there was no way I wasn't missing out. I got in for the March delivery so I'll be booking a couple of days off work end of March into early April :P Flight sims, Race sims, Experiences when people come over for a beer... I can't bloody wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order Total: £529.00 I would hope you are right. Don't get me wrong this isn't that I don't have the money, but my expectations of cost where a fair chunk lower, and I only had a second class ticket on the hype train. I was kind of edging on OR being £350, and Vive £500. I am certainly going to wait for the Vive pricing before I splash out. I bet HTC were wiping the sweat from their brows, shouting "phew", and then laughing their tits off when the saw the $599 dollar price tag.

Python Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wow that's steep! I was edging towards the Vive already, over to HTC and Valve to see what they can offer price wise. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantenpresbyterianer Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 A one to one conversion from Dollar to Euro i would have accepted. But its not only a one to one conversion (which alone would be an insolence). Its a 100 € on top. At the current exchange rate that alone is more than 750 USD! Plus shipping and taxes? I'll definately wait for the VIVE, even if it costs 1000€. Glad I never tried a VR yet and have no idea of the immersion that I miss.

Koriel Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 you might be right :thumbup: I have to admit £529 is a lot but it could be worse it could be £750 lol Here in Holland including shipping it's €741.. that's close to $800.. It's even more expensive here.. Very disappointed that I didn't fund Kickstarter back in the days.. I was thinking about it then. But now? With this price? I'll wat for CV3 Value Edition or a cheap chinese copy.. I guess developers won't be as enthusiastic about implementing the Rift into games anymore either..
