    Remember this ? Well, the time is almost up. For pre-orders, that is :).
    Which will open on Oculus.com at 8am Pacific Time on January 6! (source)

    Every Rift comes bundled with Lucky’s Tale by Playful, and apparently also CCP’s EVE: Valkyrie for free with every pre-order.

    Details aren't out yet, and even if price target was at around 350$ in the beginning of this adventure, it will very probably be more than that. Hopefully not closer to 500$, which of course in Europe would translate into 500EUR.

    Still on the fence here, I must admit. And that is even before finding the final price.. There are at least 2 serious options to consider: HTC Vive and probably Playstation VR.

    How about you ?

    600 $ ?? (which we all know what is means in Europe..)
    We are a 'bit far from the 350-400$ mark.. unfortunately.

    I pre-orderd one on behalf of a friend. Never tried such a gimmick before but will be interesting, it's due to arrive in April.

    With a rig like yours, it will be the next best thing to driving a real car :)

    You know what.... I want one of those.

    In the official page for Spain the price start in 700€ without taxes and shiping... hope the price stay on 600/700€ I prefer a udge 144Hz monitor for that price, but maybe next year we have other alternatives and lower the oculus.

    So, shipments started ! The hour is here ! Can't wait to hear/read the normal users reviews. The Vive should be out as well, and hopefully other big players will join the fun. It will be interesting to see if prices will go down in time, or this will remain some sort of gimmick with a "new and improved" model every year - sort of like the smartphones market.

    Good times ahead :). Love it.
