Coming before the Oculus Connect conference in October, the price drop is expected to continue for the next six weeks.
As part of Oculus’ “Summer of Rift” promotion, the VR headset and a pair of Touch controllers are down to a combined $399 — a $200 drop — which makes it more attractive than the HTC Vive, and matches the entry-level, controller-less PlayStation VR headset, reported CNET.
