“These PCs have been battle tested and certified by Oculus to deliver an incredible Rift experience,” reads the announcement page. The post also notes that anyone who pre-ordered the (very sold out) Oculus Rift for $599 back in January can claim discount codes for compatible PCs on their order status page starting Feb 16.

The bundles offer either ASUS, Dell or Alienware PCs, starting at $1499 and going all the way up to $3,150. All eight options are listed on Best Buy right now, though pre-orders from Amazon, Best Buy and the Microsoft Store won’t open until Feb. 16 at 8am PT.

These bundles, like the previous Oculus Rift orders, will come with EVE: Valkyrie, Lucky’s Tale, and an Xbox One controller. While the first Oculus Rift orders will ship Mar. 28, these PC and Rift bundles aren’t expected to ship until Apr. 23.
