As someone mentioned earlier, today's $550 video card is tomorrow's $250 video card. Either way, there's gonna be some expense if you want to be an early adopter. This will be easiest to swing for people who already have a decent desktop computer (recent-ish i5 or better, 8GB RAM or better). Then you either buy a $500 GPU and a HMD or you buy a $400 PS4 and a Morpheus. Lots more early content and tools will be available for Win/Lin/OSX but if you already own a PS4 it will be a lot less additional expense. Then again, if you already have a decent GPU you can still do quite a bit. When I got my DK2 it ran many things just fine on an older GPU. I only upgraded to a GTX980 because I hadn't splurged on anything in a while and it helped a lot with un-optimized, demanding programs like Elite: Dangerous. I could have kept using my existing card if I just wanted to mess with less demanding content or make stuff in UE4.
