Just read (article) that both Rift and Touch are dropping their prices by $100 each. If you've been holding off on Touch, now is the time!! I'm look at you, @Techy111!
Extra sensors are also cheaper now. I might go ahead and get myself a third one.
just ordered a 4th sensor this past weekend, hopefully theyll guve me 20 bucks.

For me, the Touch price reduction smarts a little, so soon after launch. But oh well - I won't lose any sleep over it.
For the Rift itself, it's a year since launch, so a price drop now is perfectly reasonable. For those that bought not too long ago... well, that's the risk you take when purchasing anything a significant time after release. Price drops happen.
Yeah, $100 drop on touch 2 months after release...ffs. I'd really love to know why the hell people who activated touch within 30 days get $50 back when those of us with pre orders don't. I get that we got two free games, but even then I'd rather have taken the $50
I really like this for future buyers and VR in general but damn, a bit of a kick to the nuts to have bought the touch controllers back in December, been basically in beta because of the crummy multi sensor tracking and now have the price cut in half.
One positive is I almost ordered a 3rd sensor last night but stopped. No way will I order it now unless the price drops as its current price is ridiculous based on this touch price drop. I'd rather pay the extra and just get 2 more touch controllers.

I've been considering getting one again after canceling my preorder in disgust due to the store allotments while first dayers waited.. This is the incentive I needed. Do I get one tomorrow at Bestbuy, and pay the $40 in taxes or order online with tougher returns?
I hope this brings a deservedly big boost to Oculus sales. With great games, tracking fixes, lower spec PC requirement and a lower price of entry it really should start to broaden the appeal of VR. Now they just need gamers to realise what a good deal this is. Maybe it's time to start advertising.
I literally just bought the cv1 and touch on friday the 24th full price.. I mean I love the rift, but I am not too happy about missing the price drop by literally a few days.. My luck go figure.
Yeh me too. Bought the Oculus through Amazon to avoid the 1000AUD Australia import tax, and then bought Touch direct from Oculus.
All week I've been having problems with the floor height constantly shifting. Its not a great start, if wasn't a pain to return it I probably will have already.
If this latest patch doesn't fix it I might just suck it up and return.
How do we get this $50 store credit that's mentioned in that article?
