Now, less than 18 hours is left but still there is no clue about the price of Oculus Rift. You can check out the time remaining for the Pre Orders to begin over here.
All the pre orders will come bundled with Lucky’s Tale and CCP’s EVE: Valkyrie for Free. Lucky’s Tale is a VR (Virtual Reality) Platformer by Playful. Whereas Eve: Valkyrie is a VR Space Shooter by CCP. By playing this game on Oculus Rift we are put right in the middle of a combat.

Every Oculus Rift would also be bundled with a Wireless Xbox One Controller and a sensor designed for VR. Oculus recently delayed the Release of Oculus Touch. The release of Oculus Touch has been rescheduled to the second Half of 2016. Oculus Touch is a motion sensing accessory which allows us to move our arms more naturally in the VR environment than they would while holding a Gamepad.
Last Year Oculus hinted that the headset and the computer needed to run it might cost more than $1000 or $1500 altogether.
To answer some of the questions which some people might be having Oculus Founder would also be holding a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” on Wednesday At 6 PM Pacific Time before the Oculus Rift goes on Pre Order.
Oculus rift started as a Kickstarter Campaign in 2012 and in 2014 the startup was acquired by Facebook for $2 Billion. By then it had already managed to raise nearly $2.5 million.
The commercial release of HTC Vive and PlayStation VR are also Just around the corner and with the Upcoming releases of so many VR Headsets Virtual Reality is no longer Sci-fi.
