As promised, you can now preorder Oculus Rift, the company’s virtual reality headset, from shop.oculus.com. The price and timing have also been revealed: The Rift will set you back $599 and starts shipping on March 28. Oculus also plans to make the Rift available “in limited locations at select retailers starting in April.”
Rift preorders are only available in 20 countries: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The Facebook-owned company says more countries will be added “over time.” Preordering the Rift will also secure a place in line for Touch preorders, which the company last month delayed to the second half of 2016.
