I don't think anywhere does the Xbox One controller bundle any more. All the old stock was sold and any new stock coming in will be the new bundle / new packaging.
The only way around this would be if the retailer themselves chose to add a controller, at their own cost, which is very unlikely.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, just wanted to check though.
Guess I'll be holding off VR for a while longer then!
Probably not a bad plan, by the time they get around to releasing the next gen stuff there might be more games out for it that interest me.
My friend informs me that ideally VR headsets need a resolution bump and wireless, so may at least be worth me waiting for that.
If you play driving and or flight sims this is now a must have @ £399

I don't play a lot of them at the minute, but I was thinking I might play a few driving games if I got this bundle, which is partly why I'd want the xbox controller.
Just buy your own xbox 360 controller for £25, job done
The offer still is on amazon it's just out of stock until the 10th August.
OC is on at - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ulti...t-and-oculus-touch-controllers-vr-005-or.html 6 in stock!

Or remote.
That is what I was looking for, I went through the setup, put on the headset to carry it on and it said "now press any button on the remote". good job I still have a 360 controller or I would have been a little bit p$£%&d off.

Thanks, I think that's my decision made then.
£29.99 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/micr...ntroller-pc-xbox-360-52a-00005-gc-000-ms.html
Or you can Google "X Box Controller" and take your chances. The official Microsoft version seems to be available from £25 with "other" versions available for less than a tenner.
If anyone wants VR for driving or flight sims, why not try a wheel or joystick rather than compromise with an X Box controller?

Was it an XBOX 360 or XBOX ONE controller in the old package? I thought someone said it was an XBOX ONE?
Pity they (Oculus) didn't drop the price by £25 when they removed the controller and remote.
Also a wheel/joystick is expensive.

I think this is the one that was actually packaged with the Rift: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/microsoft-xbox-one-wireless-controller-black-6cl-00002-gc-008-ms.html
I've been using my old wired X Box controller without any problems. Not sure that a wireless X Box controller is in any way needed, as when standing up I'm using the Touch controllers anyway.
