Our Early Verdict  Oculus has upped its game once again with the consumer Rift headset. It's incredibly comfortable to wear, while Oculus Touch adds another dimension to the whole experience. Update: Oculus has finally announced the price of its Rift headset. Pre-orders are open now, and you can purchase the long-awaited VR headset for $599/£499/AU$649, before tax and shipping costs. This price is well above the cost for one of the Rift development kits, and perhaps also above what many are willing to pay in VR's early days. Although the price might be higher than many were expecting, those who pre-order are getting a lot for their money. Along with the Rift itself you also get an Xbox One controller and wireless receiver, Oculus Remote, Senor and two VR games to get you started – the space shooter EVE: Valkyrie and the 3D platformer Lucky's Tale.

Of course, that also means it's very different to use, whether you come from Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows XP. You have to look in a new place even to turn your PC off. On top of that, Windows 10 is more than just a PC operating system; it's also what will run on Windows phones – and on small tablets as well, because a 6-inch phone and a 7-inch tablet aren't such very different devices.
