Although I had both expected and hoped the cost to be lower, in my mind it's not entirely unfounded or outrageous. A high end television or smart phone will cost you similarly. It does mean that for a while VR will be beyond the reach of many average consumers, especially those who don't already own a capable gaming PC. Personally I'm excited to just sit down and play some games, but the loftier goals leveraging VR for social applications are likely to be something that will take a few years and component price drops to be achievable.
