Zuckerberg said virtual reality has the potential to be the next great computing evolution, following the transition from desktop computers to mobile devices.

“Oculus has the potential to be the most social platform ever, ”he said. ‘“Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures.” 

The deal includes $400 million in cash and $1.6 billion in Facebook stock, as well as an additional $300 million if Oculus meets certain performance targets. Oculus will continue to operate independently at its headquarters in Irvine, Calif. The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.

Well, it looks like everybody now wants to make their own virtual reality, I guess that's a good thing.

Can't wait to play farmville on the oculus.

I think you can still order the developer kits. There's a new one that it is supposed to be like final and they claim it's tons better than the previous one, which is already a sweet thing.

I still don't understand if they are keeping the developement team or not. Some of the posts of the creator are confusing and he's said that he'll be hushing and it's all for the better but "don't worry just wait". I hate when people do this.
