Today we’re excited to introduce the first Oculus Ready PCs from ASUS, Alienware, and Dell! These PCs have been battle tested and certified by Oculus to deliver an incredible Rift experience. We’re also thrilled to announce that starting February 16 at 8am Pacific Time, you can pre-order Oculus Ready PC and Rift bundles from Best Buy, Amazon, and the Microsoft Store, starting at $1499 USD for a limited time only.

All bundles include an Oculus-certified PC and everything that comes with Rift – the headset, sensor, remote, an Xbox One controller, EVE: Valkyrie Founder’s Pack, and Lucky’s Tale!

Pre-orders for Oculus Ready and Rift bundles will ship in limited quantities to select countries and regions from retail partners starting in April.

Introducing the first Oculus Ready PCs
Here’s a look at the first Oculus Ready PCs from Asus, Alienware and Dell, with more coming soon:

For those who’ve already pre-ordered Rift, you’ll be able to purchase discounted Oculus Ready PCs in select countries and regions. To claim your discount, check your order status and opt into partner offers if you haven’t already. Offer codes will appear on your order status page February 16.

Is your PC ready for Rift?
To get the full Rift experience, you’ll need a PC that meets or exceeds our recommended system specifications. Use the Oculus compatibility tool to check whether your current PC is ready for Rift. Simply download the tool, and it’ll automatically test your computer against our recommended system specifications.

If you need a new PC to power Rift, Oculus Ready machines are the best way to make sure you have everything you need to get started!

Some of those PC aren't very expensive, for coming from they come. What I don't fully understand is the "bundle" price: if that involves the PC AND the Rift, why are they cheaper than just the PC?

And don't tell me that it's because they want to sell them because that goes against the $600 price tag of the Oculus Rift.
