Oculus Announce Price Drop For Rift And Touch Controllers

Oculus announce price drop for Touch bundle and other accessories

ApocalypseShadow3031d ago (Edited 3031d ago )

Now that is some good, competitive price changes.

Will definitely push more VR headsets into consumer's hands and grow the platform as a whole.

I expect PSVR to reduce in price in the fall even if it's currently the least expensive. Valve, it's your turn to come down a little bit too and join the party.

A superior headset to PSVR for only $50 more then the PSVR bundle. Also compatible with pc and Xbox Scorpio. If I was into VR that would be the one I'd buy

Neonridr3031d ago

assuming you have a gaming level PC as well as a PS4, then yes, I would have to agree with you.

I have a Rift and love it. Although I have a PSVR as well and it's no slouch.

Kribwalker3031d ago

With the Scorpio and an oculus tho? Like I said, I like to sit on my couch and enjoy my 4k tv and home theatre system, rather then a headset, but for those that do want one a pc and Scorpio with one of the many it seems headsets that will be compatible will give you great value

MasterCornholio3031d ago

Well that would also depend on what device that you have that supports VR. If your starting from zero any VR option can be very expensive. However if you already own one of those platforms it can become much cheaper.

Granted it's a case by case type of thing.

$200 price cut is big. It needed to happen though because HTC is currently owning them in the PC sphere of VR ATM. Dunno if Id recommend a Rift though. Unless your pc has 8 or so USB 3.0 outputs to spare and you feel like stringing usb cables around your room.

NerveGearneeded3031d ago

right on the oculus site recommended : 3x USB 3.0 ports plus 1x USB 2.0 port.

Reasonable pricing , not bad .

Elda3031d ago

Oculus is said to be having problems after losing 500 million in that lawsuit, trying to entice folks to buy a VR headset with lowering the price.Maybe some folks will bite.

Fist4achin3031d ago

Im sure it didnt help with one of oculus' executives getting arrested for soliciting a minor recently either...

Their recent Playstation revenue is also more than Xbox and Switch combined, obviously in large part due to 3rd party sales.

I mean, if Sony is keeping third parties happy, kind of feels like a winning method.

Kinda always been that way if you look at previous gens, exclusives are important but they aint the main revenue generator.

And this is why the game output for ps5 has been a tad slower…

1) they needed to be… games take longer to develop, and they’d burn out their teams trying to maintain the same pace as ps3.

2) they can afford to… games cost more than ever to push boundaries, so Sony had to figure out a way to match Xbox’s clever profit strategies in order to afford to continue to innovate and take risks.
