I was an original backer of the Oculus Rift Kickstarter - and years later was delighted when I got an email saying that Oculus (or the parent company Facebook) was sending me the full retail kit as a thanks. I'm still getting around to plugging it in as I'm too busy to disappear down the rabbit hole just now, but looking forward to it. The original developer's kit had 9/10 people hurling.

One of my friends has one. It's awesome however still limited content. I plan on getting one or the HTC vive in a year or so when the market matures a bit.

Simply couldn't have afforded it, and have had to upgrade the system to meet minimum specs - and by upgrade I mean total rebuild, .

Im sure my gaming pc could handle it.

They sacrificed some performance to lower the minimum specs to match most high-end gaming systems.

The occulus rift has 2 displays . 1080 x 1200 @ 90hz. That does not need high end gpu to achieve. I think you may be out of touch with what constitutes a high end gaming system.
