If you need a bit more cash, then Facebook's "bug bounty" program is a good source.

Facebook has added Oculus Rift to its "bug bounty program" that offers money to anyone who can fix bugs in the virtual reality headset.

The company is offering a minimum award of US$500 to persons that will report the bugs. There is no maximum payout and people can get a hefty check if the bug is serious enough.

The bugs are mostly in the messaging system for Oculus developers and parts of its website, said Neal Poole, security engineer at Facebook. Poole also mentioned these bugs are similar to the ones found in Facebook.

"Potentially in the future, if people were to go explore and find issues in the SDK or the hardware that is definitely of interest to us," Poole said.

Oculus Rift has been the center of attention since a prototype headset was demonstrated at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in June 2012.

After two months, Facebook launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise funding for the virtual reality headset. Facebook surpassed its Kickstarter goal of US$250,000 in just four hours.

For gaming, Oculus Rift will join the Eurogamer Expo at Earls Court in London on September 25 to 28.

The acquisition of Oculus is Facebook's second biggest buy this year behind the US$19 billion purchase of messaging app, WhatsApp, last February.
