Skeletal hand-grips

Each has buttons and an analog stick on top. According to CNET Senior Editor Scott Stein, they look like "skeletal hand-grips." Sounds like a metal band to me.

Look at that packaging

This is one serious gaming rig. With affordable VR headset options like the Samsung VR, anyone who wants to pay for the Oculus Rift must be into high-end games.

This is what is called "VR face." It's what happens to your face when you have a VR headset wrapped around it for an elongated period of time.
