Oculus is offering a ‘Dad & Grads’ deal on the Rift: now through 11:59 pm PT on June 16, you can buy a new Rift and get $75 worth of store credit from Oculus, or a $50 gift card from several retailers.

The Oculus Rift is currently priced at $400, which includes everything you need to get into high-end PC VR (provided you have an appropriately powerful PC, check here). In the box you’ll find the Rift headset, Touch controllers, and two Sensors which track the system to bring your body into the game.

Through June 16th, if you order through Oculus’ own website, you’ll get $75 worth of credit toward the Oculus store (which could also be spent on mobile VR content for Oculus Go and Gear VR). Alternatively, several retailers are offering a $50 gift card with the purchase of a new Rift (availability may be limited so double check that the deal is still active before ordering!):

Our money would be on the deal from Oculus directly, since you’ll almost certain end up spending more than $75 on games at some point anyway, which means you’re saving $25 over the gift card deals. Need some ideas to spend that credit on? Check out our top 5 Rift game picks.
