Oculus Rift Price: That costs the VR glasses

If you want to buy an Oculus Rift, little should deter you from it, except for the price. We'll tell you how the high price comes about and what advantages pre-orderers get.

Update: Oculus Rift is cheaper

• The Oculus Rift was delivered to the first pre-orders at the end of March 2016. Until recently, VR glasses were only available from the manufacturer.
• In the meantime, the price of the Oculus Rift has been reduced from the original 699 euros to 589 euros. The VR experience is now much more affordable.
• Among other things, you can get the Oculus Rift from Amazon. You pay a few euros less on eBay.
• The price of the controllers has also been reduced. You can now get Oculus Touch for 119 euros.
• You also need an appropriately equipped computer. Use the Oculus Rift Compatibility Checker to check your hardware. The requirements are relatively high. If you would buy all individual parts new, you have to expect at least 1, 000 euros for the right hardware.
