Oculus dk2

[Holmer]

Hey guys

 

I got a good offer on the oculus rift DK2 version. but i wanted to heaqr if any of you guys know, if i´d be able to use it when they stop the support for it? or is it a waste of money.

At this point, waste of money. Especially considering how much Rift prices have come down.

[dburne]

Agreed, I would not spend money now on DK2.

erll im a singel dad. and my buget just aint good for 750 $ as the CV1 cost here. but i got a deal for the dk2 for 150$... and since my TRACKir got broken i was wondering if i could.

IIRC, the DK2 is officially not supported already. That doesn't mean that you can't use it but Oculus has no intention of ensuring future compatibility with anything in the store. I would not buy it at this point.

It's worth $150 if you can get it for that price.

[Holmer]

so it will work for dcs ? :) i just dont wanne waste 150 on something that cant be used in a month :D. i got no intention of playing any other games.

Well, that is the problem. ED has no control over what Oculus does and there is no guarantee that the next version of the Oculus runtime will not break the DK2.

okay thanks for feedback. i will go into thinking :D

ye but as soon as you put in denmark. it will up the price for sending it and told... and then if i should ahve a problem with it it will be hell sending it back and forth. :( but thanks for trying

Here is the deal for some us outside of the USA.

 

The price is lowered in the US. If I want to import it, it will still be $700. If I buy it from local retail, it will still be $700.

The price drop in the USA does not affect a lot of us outside of the USA until sometime in the future.

 

And that $700 price is just for the headset. The touch-controllers are still another $300. The bundle everyone is talking about has not hit retail here yet. At least, not in Sweden.
