With the Oculus Rift headset, Oculus is ushering in the VR (Virtual Reality) revolution. People are getting immersed in a virtual world of gaming and entertainment (and eventually social interaction). But one thing that has hampered its adoption is the high cost of entry. Apparently rendering that virtual world in real time takes a really beefy PC with a fast processor and lots of RAM. And these tend to be really expensive. But now as part of its Black Friday week, Amazon is offering a full bundle of Oculus Rift VR headset plus a powerful Oculus-compatible desktop PC for just $999. You'll even get a $100 credit in the Oculus store and a free download of EVE: Valkyrie VR ($60 value) with purchase.
Here's the link:
What's so special about Oculus Rift? Oculus advanced display technology combined with its precise, low-latency constellation tracking system enables a real sense of being immersed in a different world. It's the tracking speed that makes the big difference: look around and you'll see fine details of the virtual world with almost no lag or delay.
And the PC included in the package is pretty impressive as well. The CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR GXiVR8020A Gaming Desktop features an Intel i5-6402P Quad Core 2.8GHz processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM memory, a one terabyte hard drive, 24X DVD drive, and AMD RX 480 video card with 4GB RAM. It comes with a WI-Fi USB Adapter and Windows 10 Home pre-installed.
It comes with a 1 Year Parts & Labor Warranty and free lifetime tech support. This deal is one day only (Novemember 24, 2016) and subject to availability and existing stock. If the basic option sells out, there are a few additional options for even higher powered PCs to go with the Oculus Rift.
