The pricing listed on the MSFT website is interesting "the upcoming Windows Mixed Reality headsets starting at $299" - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/projects/campa...

Especially compared to the Oculus Rift which still starts at $499.

This is very interesting, the current price of VR hardware is too high for the average consumer (based on research from EEDAR). $299 is a move further towards mass adoption for PC based VR - excellent!

Easy: the Rift is the current best VR, while $300 headsets will be of lesser quality. It's like a Mercedes vs. a Ford.
