Oculus is finally opening up pre-orders for the consumer edition of the Rift virtual reality headset, starting this week. A countdown timer running until 11am EST on Wednesday, January 6 is currently running on the official Oculus website, counting down the hours until the pre-ordering process can begin, though it appears two key bits of information about the headset has yet to be released by the company: how much customers will have to pay to buy one, and when it will ship.
