Oculus rift permanently lowers its price

Oculus Rift has seen a further price drop of £ 100 in the UK, bringing it to a final price of £ 399 and being the Oculus Ultimate Bundle, which includes touch motion controls, £ 200 cheaper than the HTC Vive. It is hoped that this price reduction will also reach other markets.

Oculus Rift more affordable than ever

At this time it is unknown why Oculus has decided to lower the selling price of its Oculus Rift system, be it mediocre sales after the end of its "Summer of Rift" campaign or trying to overshadow the new Microsoft Windows 10 Mixed Reality device before that it reaches the market.

The system will ship with six free games, including Robo Recall, a VR First Person Shooter, the joyous 3D platform game Lucky's Tale, Dragon Front the VR-exclusive immersive card game, the VR Quill drawing tool, the multiplayer shooter Dead and Buried, the popular VR Demo Toybox, as well as the medium that allows you to model, model, paint and create your own objects within VR.

The bundle includes:

1x Oculus Rift VR headset

1x IR camera sensor 1x with bracket

2x Oculus Touch motion controllers (includes 1x AA per controller)

1x IR camera sensor 1x with bracket (2.5m cable length)

1x Guitar Stand 1x Rockband

1x Various accessories

6x Free Games

It will be interesting to see how well the Microsoft Windows 10 Mixed Reality system competes with the Oculus Rift at this price point, given Microsoft's use of an “inside-out” tracking system rather than the camera-based system of the Rift, which is theoretically more accurate.

The Oculus Rift also contains lower-resolution displays than Microsoft's Windows 10 Mixed Reality, making the comparison even more interesting.
