Will Rift -S be £300 in the United Kingdom?

Some people are saying it's £399, but it's $399, which makes it £300 in the UK. Can anyone confirm the price in the UK and if not when will we get to find out?

It'll be £399, all of the Oculus VR hardware has been the exact same amount of pounds as dollars so far, I can't see any reason why they'll change it.

Yeah i doubt it will be £300, as stated above expect a $ for £ match on this.....but i expect it to drop quite quickly seeing as at launch most companies sell for as much as they think people are willing to pay at the launch of something, then when sales start to slow after launch they start dropping the price or add value to the product, so if the launch price is too high wait it out a bit.

My thoughts too - and €449.

This.

Rift was £349 and $349 on Oculus' UK and US websites respectively, Go is £199 and $199 for the 32GB model.
Oculus has never applied exchange rates unfortunately, like so many hardware and software companies from across the pond.

Well I suppose that's better than companies applying some sort of inverse exchange rate... 3ds max being £216/month and $190/month... I haven't checked adobe lately but I suspect something similar.

To be fair $399 will be excluding tax where as £399 will include VAT @ 20%
Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR 🙂

Put it this way, when I ask them "so, how much do you want for this then?" will be followed by "ok here's £300 because I still gotta buy bloody headphones and all that weight is more than my old Rift! Take it before I withdraw!"

To play fair - you guys also get another year of warranty for the price differences (because by law it is force). Here in the US - its only one year.

The weight of the headset won't matter much tbh. I've tried the PS -VR and it's super comfy and Rift -S has the same design. The PS -VR feels more like wearing a hat and the CV1 grips your face which I don't like. I can tolerate CV1, but only with the PV cover from VR cover.

The $349 price is accepted as the silent "Clearance" price. $349 was only announced in January, and was essentially globally sold out a month later.

It seems Oculus will be maintaining a $399 price for Rift (barring sales).
