Good evening Mr. Luckey; thank you very much for doing this AMA!
The VR community has suffered something of a divide over the price of the Rift that was announced for the pre-orders today (especially in Australia and the UK). It has unsurprisingly disappointed many people and pushed it over a price point that your average earner (such as myself) could reasonably afford. We're concerned that this will alienate a lot of enthusiasts and potential enthusiasts alike.
What was the rationale behind this decision, and why has the cost for the CV1 risen so drastically from the initially ballparked figure of ~$350 and the cost of the DK1 and DK2?
We look forward to hearing your response, thank you!
