Oculus Rift goes mainstream early 2016
The Oculus Rift has gone through several iterations since it was launched on Kickstarter in the summer of 2012. It's seen two development kits and multiple prototypes, most recently the "Crescent Bay" design that appeared last year. Crescent Bay uses two small displays, an external tracking camera, and carefully designed software to create the illusion of 3D space. Especially since its acquisition by Facebook in early 2014, Oculus has de-emphasized hard technical detail, but a company blog post says that some specifics for the consumer Rift are coming next week.

I think they missed the perfect time to release it already. With Windows Hololens coming out next year also, I'm not sure why anyone would buy Rift over Hololens when Hololens is going to be way beyond, other than price difference. Still, cool that. VR/AR becoming a thing slowly.

Cant wait to get my hands on a pair of these. Flight Sim games are going to rock with this.

Hei I hope it won't cost more than $300.
My guess is a max of £300/$450.
The dev kits were pretty cheap, but as an official and final product, the price will certainly rise.
