To be successful it's gonna have to be console ish price, nobody (more so vr noobs like me) is gonna buy at 900 quid, and is all just rumors until we hear. But has to be sub 400 for me.
They have to price at a wide audience ie new console 350-400 or will not sell enuf imo
Agreed. This price thing could have all just been a ploy in the first place, as could the original release date.
They can't announce a price drop without first announcing a price!
Ok, not a price drop, but a low price as a result of some breakthrough process would be great news.
Loads of press have picked up on this "very, very big technological breakthrough"...

Some pretty good speculation of what the 'breakthrough' might be...

If it is hardware, I suspect controller battery power is most likely. A wireless HMD or a higher res screen would be nice though.
Hopefully they've added something amazing to Half Life 3 so need more time data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Yup, the "huge" technological breakthrough is a camera which allows you to see reality at the touch of a button.A nice feature imho, but hardly a breakthrough?- I've had a camera on my phone for years data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
