The Oculus Rift pre-order website is, at long last, live, bringing the dream of a modern VR industry one big step towards actual reality, representing the first dollars spent by consumers on an honest-to-God retail headset. And quite a few dollars, at that: I think a lot of people watching Oculus were expecting something in the $350-$400 range, but the actual price is sitting at $600, causing no shortage of sticker shock on Twitter and elsewhere. And that’s before you factor in the price of a computer capable of running the thing: something like $1000.
