As Oculus nears its recently announced "Q1 2016" launch of the consumer version of its Oculus Rift headset, the company has remained tight-lipped about specifically how much it will charge for the hardware. Today, Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe gave the biggest hint yet of that price: a complete Rift system, including a computer that can power the experience, should cost about $1,500.
"We are looking at an all-in price, if you have to go out and actually need to buy a new computer and you’re going to buy the Rift … at most you should be in that $1,500 range," Iribe said during an interview at the Re/code conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California.
That number may seem less than useful for users who already have a high-powered gaming rig, but we can start to hazard some guesses at the price of the headset alone.
