This isn't realistic, even if it were possible.<p>Facebook has an agreement to buy OculusRift for $2 Billion.<p>They'd want a multiple of that to sell it. Let's say Zuck is feeling generous and decides to let it go for $3 Billion.<p>How many people are on HN? Compete.com says 200k uniques per month. So let's say you got every single person who visited HN last month to pitch in. That's $15,000 per person. Of course, not everybody would pitch in, and not everybody could afford to. Let's say 10% of the people could afford it. You've got $30 million, you're not even close. You'd need each of these people to contribute $150k.<p>This is, of course, that lots of people feel strongly enough about buying Oculus Rift, and that Zuck would be willing to let it go for $3 Bills.<p>In the end, would it even be worth it? Why is it so important that Facebook not own Oculus Rift? Clearly they aren't the only VR in town?
What are you buying then? The brand? I'm sure there are lots of talented people here that can create VR headsets better than Oculus, assuming they have proper funding.
