It's no secret that the Oculus Rift's sales numbers has stalled since launch. One of the main reasons for this is no doubt the hefty price tag. Oculus tried to make it easier for people by lowering the PC requirements last fall, but now they're taking more direct approach to combat the lacklustre sales.

They've decided to slashing the price of the Oculus Rift/Oculus Touch bundle by $200 (approximately £160). The price of the Touch controllers alone has also been cut in half. It'll be interesting to see if this affects sales or if Oculus needs to do more to kickstart sales.

How much would you be willing to pay for Oculus Rift?
