Oculus announced at their press conference, that the permanent price for Oculus+Touch is now 399$.
Wasn't it like 300 few weeks ago?

Interesting!
Cheapest non-mobile VR set now?
Smart, that's where they should have been from day one. They would have crushed the competition and VR would be on the tip of every gamers' tongue to this day.
It's the same pricepoint as PSVR, which doesn't exactly have VR on the tip of every gamers' tongue today.

It's not. PSVR needs a camera and the (ridiculously bad, if you compare them to Touch) Move controllers bought separately.
But you are right anyway. Mass market will still not buy it.
Hnnnng want this to play robo recall, but the wife will kill me (already have PSVR)
cool ! 590 euro's in europe on their official website
I'm actually looking into getting a VR set-up right now, since I'm upgrading my computer. Is Oculus the way to go now? Does Vive really have any advantages, other than resolution, that justify the price difference?
Very appealing pricepoint. If I had a capable PC, I'd go for it. But I don't, and I don't see myself ever really pursuing that. Hopefully it (and Vive) reach lots more consumers though and VR keeps momentum.

This is why you never early adopt. lol
"Haha you fools, you should have just waited nearly 2 years for a price drop!"This is why you never early adopt. lol

Fyi, the camera is included as of September 2017. Still need to buy the controllers separate though.
Interested in VR, but only for movie viewing or experiences like that. Not interested in setting up a VR "station" in my house. I'd love to watch sporting events from the officials perspective.

Vive really has no bells and whistles the Rift doesnt have - they are very similar devices (I work with Vives, and have a Rift at home). Rift is more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time (unless you buy the optional new Vive headset strap with built-in headphones), the image is sharper, and the controllers feel more like your hands. Vive has a slightly larger field of view, the sensors can see a little further, theres a bit more room for glasses in the headset, and the controllers feel more like guns in your hand. Vive sensors can see a little further, Rift can use more than two sensors to give better 360-degree coverage (and pretty much needs three to equal Vives two). Vive sensors need power outlets nearby, Rift sensors need to be plugged into your computer with long USB cables. Software-wise Rifts Home feels like a more polished product (and the newly announced Rift Dash looks even better), SteamVR is integrated into Steam and can be better customized (though Rift Dash is adding some customizations next year).It's easier to set up room-scale with a Vive, and it has some extra bells and whistles the Rift doesn't have. But the Rift has a lot of advantages, too. I've never used the Vive controllers but people say Oculus Touch is better.
Neither headset is the definitive option right now, but for the price the Rift is a no-brainer.
Wow, I have a Vive but that is a good price.
The Vive is supposed to be a little better than Occulous, is that true? Does the Occulous support player location?
