Oculus Rift goes mainstream early 2016

Quarter one 2016.

Quarter one 2016. It's the answer to a question we've asked basically every time we've spoken with Oculus VRsince 2012: "When does the consumer versionof the Rift come out?" Aside from that revelation, we're also getting our first look at the final design of the headset, but that's it! No word on price or launch games, experiences or Facebook apps, either. Come to think of it, "no" probably fits as an answer to any other question you might have at this point. Oculus teasedthat it'll have more to share soon, specifically hinting at June's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), but for now we'll just have to make do with these morsels. If Sony hoped to have early 2016to itself in terms of VR for the masses with Project Morpheus, those dreams have effectively been dashed.
