The Oculus Rift, after years of development, is coming soon - in fact, in just about two months. The first consumer virtual reality headset from the company, thought to be the vanguard for modern virtual reality gaming and media experiences, will hit shelves in March 2016, and is available for pre-order today.
The headset, the first iteration of a new technology, is naturally somewhat pricey. At $600, it's comparable to the cost of a brand-new, just-launching game console (on the higher side of things, of course). That doesn't seem to be slowing sales, though, as Oculus's Website is having trouble fielding the high level of requests for pre-orders. In fact, at press time, the March 2016 pre-orders seem to have all been sold, with new shipping estimate dates of April 2016 showing on the site.
Pre-ordered Rift headsets come with two games, EVE: Valkyrie and Lucky's Tale. I've played Valkyrie, and the hype is real.
