It's good they are teaming up together. It's cheaper for both companies and makes it more simple for the consumers and less hassle with downloading all that software since I would assume MS will have a driver made for the Oculus so it's plug and play. I think that would be cool, don't know if it is feasible though.

Plus they are now a direct competitor to that VR thing Sony was working on which can only be good for consumers

Oculus=Gaming

I'm happy MS chose to endorse Oculus for VR rather than trying to roll their own thing, hopefully more promise.

Although I'm happy about the endorsement, I can't help but think that the inclusion of a controller will make it more expensive.

Just looked at Mark Zuckerberg's recent statement and I completely forgot that Facebook bought Oculus..

They are as well, it's called Oculus Touch, two symmetrical handheld devices.

You can watch their special event rebroadcast on Twitch, they announced that the Rift will be available Q1 2016, but not how much it will cost.

A bit weird that the Rift will have a fabric coating/cover though.
