What I Learned Buying A Used Oculus Rift Dev Kit

Waniting to jump into the world of Virtual Reality without the $600 USD price tag has some caveats. Here are three things you'll learn pretty quickly if you decide to jump the gun and pick up an Oculus development kit.

That was an enjoyable read. I've been considering doing the same (picking up a dev kit on the cheap) but with the investment required to get a PC up and running to spec too, I might just go whole hog and do it all properly once the reviews are in about the released version.

Yes, me too. I was gonna use them for swimming.

$450-$600 for a Used DK2?!? Thats not right.

You can buy one new directly from their website for $300.

Also, the DK2 is set up quite a bit better and more user friendly. But not nearly like the consumer version. The DK is the developers kit, after all. I wouldn't expect it to be publicly user friendly.

Thank you for this article. Was about to jump board to the Dev Kits but after this i may just have to wait a good minute till i until i can pull the trigger on the $600 price tag.

The DK2 is more user friendly. They are (or were) for sale brand new directly from their website for $300. So unless he price got extremely inflated, I have no idea why people would buy a DK2 USED for $450. That doesn't seem right.

Either way, I would still wait for the consumer version though. It will have way more support and less bugs.

thorstein3441d ago

Why are the dev kits so easy to come by? Are there that many out there? Or, is this a preview for the type of support we can expect for Oculus?

DLConspiracy3441d ago

Because the most up to date one is finally coming out and I'm sure a lot of people bought both and are selling off the old dev kits to cover it.

That's fine. GT7 would overshadow it anyway at it has open wheel and regular cars.

Should have been spending their time updating Squadrons with better resolution, frame rate, haptics, etc as there isn't a game like that on PS VR 2 yet.

But it's EA. They don't think.

Babadook7771d ago

I agree. It would sell better on PSVR2 right now.

Knushwood Butt772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

A wasted opportunity, but I don't buy EA / Codemasters stuff anyway. Grid Legends just came out on Plus and I haven't touched it. Why would I when I have GT7 and PSVR2?

Abnor_Mal772d ago

Not into F1 racing, but still a missed opportunity.

ApocalypseShadow772d ago

That's where opportunity presents itself that they could offer something else that other developers haven't offered yet. Yeah. There's No Man's Sky. But a space game with a story would be great. Like the old days with Colony Wars.

Abnor_Mal772d ago

Exactly, they could have possibly lured more players just from the inclusion of a vr mode.

I miss Colony wars and G-Police, Low-Fi I hope will scratch that itch when it releases. We also need a vr War/Starhawk game.

Knushwood Butt771d ago

Just watched the trailer of Low-Fi. Most definitely on my radar.
