Then you aren't a early adopter. It's astonishing how many people here on hackernews don't understand this. Yes it's a lot of money, but it isn't comparable to anything else on the market right now. If you think it does you haven't actually looked at the specs or know anything about the VR market right now. I get being cynical, but damn, ya'll need to shut up and stop trolling. This first edition is about testing the market. Proving people will buy it in a limited run and get the ball moving. If this first run goes well then there will hopefully be a v2 that is cheaper and enjoys the economies of scale. It's like you never want a new manufacturer to exist. If you aren't going to buy it, then just don't buy it. You could say "hey this is too pricey for me right now with the risk, maybe in the future I'll be in the market" and go on about your day.
