Oculus Rift VR headset pre-orders open
The Oculus Rift package is priced at $599 and comes with two games

MANILA, Philippines – The virtual reality headset revolution may be coming to homes soon, but it will have to come at a price some people might not be comfortable paying.

Oculus VR, the development team behind the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset, opened pre-orders of the consumer model of the Rift on Wednesday, January 6, releasing the finalized official pricing for the Rift at a hefty $599 price tag.

OCULUS RIFT PRICING. The shopping cart on Oculus VR's storefront indicates a $599 price tag and a expected ship date of March 2016.

The Oculus Rift is a head-mounted virtual reality display that allows users to experience virtual reality through programs and games developed for the Rift. For the enthusiasts, these include titles like EVE: Valkyrie, a spaceflight and space combat simulator.

The $599 package will come with the Rift headset, sensor, Oculus Remote, cables, an Xbox One controller, as well as two games: EVE: Valkyrie and Lucky’s Tale.

OCULUS RIFT SHIP DATE CHANGE. A few minutes after an earlier screenshot, the expected ship date changes to April 2016.

While the pre-order page did originally list the Oculus Rift shipping date as March 2016, a refresh of the store page now shows an expected ship date of April 2016 instead. – Rappler.com
