Occulus Rift goes to pre-order

How much will the first consumer version of the Oculus Rift cost?

Meanwhile, Engadget indicated that Oculus plans to release other titles along with “Rift“.

The pre-orders will also not include the company’s Oculus Touch controller, which has been pushed back to the second half of 2016 while the company polishes the hardware and irons out the kinks. So you might have to temper your expectations as to what you’ll be able to do with your rig right out of the gate. Palmer Luckey, Oculus founder, will discuss all things VR as part of a Reddit AMA Wednesday at 6 p.m. PST (9 p.m. EST). Sony’s own PlayStation VR – a headset for its games console – is also set to go on sale this year.

The sport version of Oculus will be released in 2016.

According to Oculus, they are now working on the Oculus Controller to improve its ergonomics in order to make it more comfortable and to feel more natural when the users will hold it.

This also served as a last minute reminder that Eve: Valkyrie and Lucky’s Tale will be free for everyone that pre-orders the long-awaited virtual reality headset. “On the path to perfecting Touch, we’ve decided that we need more time before release”, the company stated on its blog last week. You were there at the beginning of our journey – we couldn’t have done it without you. As part of the deal, Oculus VR will release a special bundle that features the headset along with an Xbox One controller.

If you are interested in the Oculus Rift you might have seen the recent news concerning the delay of the Oculus Touch.

If you’re one of those people with a VR headset on your ” must have” list, you should know there are some potential hurdles to going virtual.

Rift is about perfecting the VR experience, not cost-cutting; to that end, Oculus seems to be preparing would-be early adopters for some sticker shock.
