Oculus said Wednesday it is cutting the price of its Rift headset and Touch motion controllers by $100 each, dropping the cost of a complete system to $598. From a report: The Rift and Touch combination will drop to $598 from $799, or roughly $100 off each piece of high-end hardware. The discount applies even if the devices are purchased separately.

Brendan Iribe, who heads up the Oculus PC/VR group, refutes the notion that the price slash is in response to slow sales. “VR is a whole new platform and medium, it’s the first time people are putting a computer on their head,” Iribe, 37, told USA TODAY at the Game Developers Conference here. “We are cutting the price to bring VR to more people, and that’s always been our goal.”
