OCULUS Touch Controllers 199 euro! Release 21-11-16 Turned up in German Media Markt webshop

Media Markt in Germany announced the price and release date for the
Oculus Touch controllers! The price will be 199 euro's and the release date
appear to be November 21 2016. Furthermore, the specs of the controllers are
shown. They are 114.3 mm wide and 96.5 mm high and the depth is 104.1 mm.
The controllers weight just 127.6 g. We don't see anything about a second
sensor. The most striking is that no sensor is mentioned anywhere. Is the sensor still included?

If that price is true, count me out.

Absolutely not paying AUD$300 for the controllers.

Would you pay $293 AUD?

I got my DK2 at $340.  If they think those controllers alone are only $40 less in value than an entire HMD plus camera than they are insane

While $300 AUD is a bit steeper than I thought, it is still cheaper than the Vive package who promoted there unit as a Premium VR experience. 
Add in Oculus huge shipping costs we could be looking at $400.00 AUD

Maybe Oculus will do a trade in price on my Xbox controller for a new Touch  😉

Way cheaper than my joystick (that I mainly use for Elite Dangerous in VR), similar to my force feedback wheel (that I only use in VR), a little bit more than my rudder pedals, same as my headphones, same as my Space Pilot Pro controller. When the HMD cost around $780au, $293 for controllers and a second camera doesn't seem that unreasonable.

If you add up the price of buying 2 Vive wands plus a single lighthouse box (so equivalent to what Touch comes with) it costs $514au. Well, it would, HTC refuses to sell accessories to australia, I had to go to the american page and convert the prices.

Are you talking about US or AU dollars? The DK2 was $350us which was around $457au. But you are comparing it to the $293au price of the Touch, so they are $164au cheaper than the DK2, not $40au.
