Rift Poised for Success if Demand for Dev Kit is Any Indication

Oculus’ second Rift development kit (DK2) continues to grow in market value, commanding as much as $1,200 for a new unit on auction sites such as eBay. New and used DK2 units are selling online for hundreds more than the original $350 asking price. “Resale prices for the headset only soared to their current highs since Oculus stopped selling the DK2 hardware on October 26, likely to prepare for the impending launch of the consumer Rift,” explains Ars Technica. “Yet even before the DK2 was discontinued, aftermarket sales were still going for prices well above the ‘retail’ price.” Oculus’ consumer VR hardware is expected to launch early next year.
