Hmm. While that is true, and it may help spur sales, it is also an indicator that their sales are not what they expected. You don't drop the price when you're selling out.

Apparently is because they've managed to cut manufacturing cost down, Must have been by a hell of a lot.
I'm a bit bummed as I paid full wack for both and got a 3rd sensor too Oh well thats the cost of early adoption I guess. On the bright side Robo Recall has been released on the Oculus store FREE to Touch owners. I havnt tried it yet but it looks fun.

Yes Robo Recall appears to be top notch and the graphics are really nice. I have just gone through some of the training and think I am going to like it very much.
The controllers are very nice but you really need a third sensor to get the most out of them.

How many wires does the Oculus need plugged into your PC when using it? I'm worried I may not have enough USB ports with all my flight sim/racing sim stuff already hooked up along with needing 2-3 USB ports for Oculus stuff.
Maybe if I rebuild my PC I'll pick one up...but I'm still planning on waiting for the 2nd gen stuff.
Picked one up last night to pair with my new Alienware laptop. I was fully expecting to return it in a week, but I'm impressed.
Hell no is this one going back and I have't begun to dig deep into my library. Picked up VorpX today to add VR to a few titles not VR native. Only wish I could play ARMA 3 without turning off battleye.
