Oculus reportedly planning to drop $200 standalone wireless headset in 2018
This seems significant, yo. Oculus is planning on dropping a relatively cheap fucking wireless standalone headset next year. Gone are the wires, gone is the need for a computer.

Oculus no longer blocking Vive headset from playing Rift-exclusive titles
A tech war I did not know was being waged has come to an end. Vive owners will now be able to play Rift-exclusive titles on their headset. Which, I sort of imagine, benefits both companies.*
The HTC ‘Vive’ VR headset to cost $799, $200 more than ‘Oculus Rift’
Man, count me the fuck out of the VR game. At least for a bit, until the headsets drop in price. That’s, that’s fair, right?
‘Oculus Rift’ costs $600, will begin shipping March 28
Phew! I was worried I was going to impulse buy an Oculus Rift. Would have really cheesed off my wife, and probably not been used very much. Well! The price for the rig has been revealed to be $600, which makes it even too rich for my economically irresponsible ass (for the moment).
Oculus Rift preorders starting Wednesday; some Kickstarter backers getting free Consumer Edition
Are you preordering an Oculus Rift this week? (I ain’t) Do you not have to because you were a Kickstarter backer who pledged for a Rift, and you’re getting the Consumer Edition for free? (I ain’t)
Oculus Rift going to cost more than $350 when it ships
It ain’t going to be cheap getting into the Metaverse, friends. But then again, who suspected it would be? The Rift is coming, it’s launching (soon), and it is pricing itself out of the range of the casual folk. Which is to be expected at first, right?
Final ‘Oculus Rift’ Requirements: “$800” Gaming PC for full experience
Oculus has revealed the requirements for their Oculus Rift, and according to Gizmodo it’s an “$800 PC.” First off, I suppose that’s not that bad. I mean, can you put a price on haptic-suit transhuman cyber sex? And second off, who knows how much all of the junk required for the rig will run when the Rift actually drops.
Finished Oculus Rift hitting shelves first quarter next year
Finally! We know a pseudo-date for when we will be able to buy our Oculus Rifts. Don our haptic bodysuits. And bang one another in a virtual bathrub while the Kool-Aid man urinates delicious drink all over us! Next year!
Google Glass returning in 2015 with Intel powerin’ its guts
Google Glass! You poor sack of shit! You were cool for like nine minutes! But then Oculus Rift rolled up and nabbed the attention you were garnering. Pulled down your pants, dismissively flicked your beans, and then stole your bae. But apparently you ain’t taking this laying-lying-laying down. No! You sure ain’t, and 2015 is going to be your year. With your buddy Intel helpin’ out.
