    This seems like a bad time to release what is pretty much an ultra luxury device. I don’t think anybody needs one, and it’s a tough sell to the typical early-adopter, software developer crowd in the Bay Area who have been getting laid off in their tens of thousands for the last 18 months or more.

      The other problem is I would totally buy one, but Apple don’t want to sell me it because I’ve committed the cardinal sin of not being American.

      All round that’s just a weird product. If it can do all that Apple claim and do it as well as Apple claim then it’ll be an absolute game changer, but if that comes at a price that most people can’t afford then what’s the point? No one was ever in doubt that VR could be this good, the question was whether it could be this good at a reasonable price and the apparent answer is, no it can’t.
