NEW: Oculus, the VR company bought by Facebook in 2014, opens up pre-orders of its new hardware, including a portable all-inclusive VR gaming system and an updated version of its original headset.
Oculus, the VR company bought by the social media giant in 2014, opened up pre-orders of its new hardware on Tuesday, including a portable all-inclusive VR gaming system and an updated version of its original headset. Devices will ship on May 21 from Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and GameStop, both online and in stores.
The new Rift S headset is also available for pre-order from Tuesday, and will also ship on May 21. It's also priced at $399. Experience-wise, it's a completely different and more sophisticated one compared to the Quest, which seems more geared toward social"beat games" like guided saber fights and dance moves.
"It has a bunch of upgrades from the Oculus Rift," Oculus co-founder Nate Mitchell told ABC News when the products were announced at the Game Developers Conference in March. The headset is now"more comfortable and makes it easier to take on and off, especially for folks with varied hairstyles."
