Bengaluru: Oculus, the virtual reality company owned by Facebook Inc, said the Rift, its much-awaited virtual reality headset, was priced at $599.
The Rift will initially be shipped from March 28 to 20 countries, including Australia, Canada, Japan, the UK and the United States, the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.
However, the Oculus shopping cart displayed May as the expected shipping month.
Rift will also be available in limited locations at select retailers starting in April, according to the blog post.
The Rift box will include the headset with built-in headphones and mic, sensor, an Xbox One controller and an Oculus Remote, a new input device that helps users navigate through the Oculus store or explore video content.
The company also said that bundles that include an Oculus Ready PC and a Rift would be available for preorder in February starting at $1,499.
