When we first heard of the Oculus Rift, Obama was still in his first term, Linsanity was just a misspelled word, and we hand’t yet tasted a Cronut. Now, many years later, we can finally get our hands on the groundbreaking virtual reality headset. Almost. That’s right, pre-orders for Oculus Rift start tomorrow. While we don’t have the pricing info or the exact shipment date yet, we do know that at 8 am Pacific Time tomorrow, pre-orders can be placed. The headset will come bundled with two games—Lucky’s Tale and EVE: Valkyrie—and the pre-order launch will be accompanied by a reddit AMA with Oculus’s founder. Set your reminder now.
