I think OR/Facebook just shoot themselves in the race of VR.

This is a fucking peripheral. At 600USD (850CAD) it's way too much... and you'd need a computer that's capable of giving you a decent VR experience. I'd say easily another 2000 (for the bare minimum) to 3000cad (for a great exp) for a PC to run it.

I think they should have taken the Sony route... make it cheaper (although we don't know Project Morpheus price yet), lower requirement, and lower quality to get the market rolling first. Once the technology and software support mature, you can start aiming for better experience.
