Posted on October 6, 2016 by Spieler Dad

Looks like Amazon UK got a little over eager with the publish button and jumped the gun, listing the price and release date of the Oculus Touch controllers.

According to the Amazon UK pre-order page, the controllers will retail at £189.99 and are set to release on November 23rd, 2016. That’s not cheap and at that price, one can expect the controllers to retail stateside anywhere from $200 to $250.

As always, one should take leaks and accidental publishes with a healthy dash of salt.

[UPDATE] And yup, they’ll cost $200 in the US. Will ship December 6. Pre-orders will start October 10.
