If not, a new, Rift-ready PC plus the headset itself should cost around $1,500, Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe said today at the Re/code (http://recode.net/2015/05/27/oculus-rift-total-package-price-around-1500/) conference. "We are looking at an all-in price, if you have to go out and actually need to buy a new computer and you're going to buy the Rift... at most you should be in that $1,500 range," he said (via Re/code). He didn't provide a standalone price for the Rift, but Oculus has already divulged its recommended PC specs (http://www.engadget.com/2015/05/15/oculus-rift-mac-linux-paused-pc-specs/) and they're fairly hefty.
