Oculus Rift fans might have a chance to get their virtual reality headsets faster and cheaper than ordering through the Oculus site.

There are also several devices here that help make virtual reality seem even more real by going beyond what you can see and hear and also bringing in what you can feel.

According to Oculus, they will be certifying computers which meet their recommended system specifications with “Oculus Ready” stickers to ensure they are able to deliver a great experience with Rift.

Sony have been quick to dismiss the pricing on Amazon with a statement saying: “This was an error by Amazon, we haven’t announced price for PlayStation VR”.

In general, the outlash has been understandable, considering the Oculus Rift costs more than any gaming console.

Back in September 2015, Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida said virtual reality is an ultimate weapon for game developers.

Frank Azor, Alienware founder, has said on Thursday that the company will offer an Oculus Rift and Alienware X51 gaming desktop bundle at a discounted price to customers. Because anything slower than that could make people motion sick. The Rift’s costs will come down over time too. PCs built to meet the specifications that handle virtual reality equipment will go up and the companies such as Dell and Asus, the only approved PC makers now to house the VR ready branding, are to benefit from it. Head over to Alienware to pre-order your Oculus-Ready X51 R3.
