Valve spokesperson Doug Lombardi told-Ars Technica that the dev kits will be free in the early stages of the hardware's life cycle, and developers of every size will be able to sign up for the kits in the near future. The development kits will ship this spring, with an expected retail release date near the end of the year. This is great news for existing virtual reality developers with promising games or demos, however, as they'll be able to work on the hardware and prepare a launch title without any additional cost for the development hardware.
