Oculus Rift with Touch controllers now just $399, competing with cheapest Windows Mixed Reality bundles

In the summer Oculus announced a price drop for their Oculus Rift headset taking it to an astonishing $399 for the headset and controllers, around half the launch price of the bundle before the discount.

Now at the Oculus Connect conference, the company has announced that the discount is now permanent.

Remember however that you still need a fairly high-end Windows PC to enjoy Oculus Rift. The recommended PC specs are.
