As part of Oculus' "Summer of Rift" promotion, the VR headset and a pair of Touch controllers are down to a combined $399 — a $200 drop — which makes it more attractive than the HTC Vive, and matches the entry-level, controller-less PlayStation VR headset, reported CNET.

Oculus VP of Content Jason Rubin was quoted as saying he sees the new bundle price as a "magical price point."
Adding to the $200 drop of the bundle in March, this makes for a combined $400 price slash for Oculus' 2016 hardware in 2017.
