In case you weren’t on the Internet last week, Oculus VR revealed their expected release for the Oculus Rift to be Q1 in 2016 with pre-orders starting late in 2015. The price point of the new Oculus Rift hasn’t been announced yet, but is expected to be slightly more expensive than the Gear VR, which currently sells for $200.
