HP's Reverb VR Pro Headset

[Sandman1330]

Has anyone seen it for sale in Canada yet?

 

Negative, I’ve been looking everywhere. I think I may return my Rift S in favour of this one, if I can find it.

I may do the same, or keep both, as I really like the Rift S, regardless of how much better the Reverb may be. We'll see when Amazon Canada or the HP Canada store gets stock. HP Canada has the Pro listed for $844 but out of stock. I have until June 24 to return my Rift S to the Microsoft Canada store, so we'll see.

Yeah, I have until the 22nd. I just hooked up my old CV1 again tonight and did a comparison, and while clearer I’m not sure the S is enough of an improvement to justify the cost. If the reverb didn’t exist I’d keep it, but now... decisions, decisions.

Looking very promising. Just need to wait until Amazon has it in stock as I don't want to buy from hp in case I need to return it for whatever reason. I'm glad mrtv said it was fine with a 1080ti too.

Yeehaa.

 

I got shipping confirmation and invoice. It's going to a local pick up point, so I will pick it up after work.

I doubt I will have time to set it up before the weekend, so for now the plan for tonight is to:

 

1. Download steam VR.

 

2. Put CV1, Xbox 1 controller, Touch controllers back in their respective boxes and put away.

 

3. Gaze lovingly at the Reverb box while carrying out the first two.

 

Optional. Since I have to be up and about at stupid o'clock every morning, I may decide that sleep is not mandatory and set up the Reverb.

 

Shame about the VR optimisation breaking and having to use a secondary app in the background to run DCS in WMR, but it's good to see they are working on it.

 

Question: where do I get the app that allows WMR users to access Oculus home and any apps bought from there?

 

 

EDIT: here is how to access Oculus Home in WMR..

I cannot wait for the shipping notice from ShopBLT! I too am in the June 12th shipping crowd (I own you @naruto!)

[VampireNZ]

Where are you guys buying these from - I thought they weren't released yet??

 

 

You certainly can't buy them from the HP website.

HP UK in my case.

Yeah, Sold out on HP's website. But shopblt.com has incoming stock (200+) that you can pre-order. My stock is part of the June 12th delivery, so I should have mine on the 13th/14th. Yeah, I ponied up for the overnight delivery because I don't want have it slip on ground delivery and can't play with it until the weekend of June 22nd.

 

PS: It is the Pro version. The ones that shopblt are selling.

[Kirin]

Now this pushes me right over into the Reverb camp! Great news. Hope that thing will be released in my country soon!

Cheers...yeah, NZ$211 just for shipping. Might wait a bit lol :huh:

[YoYo]

Any links for European stores/deliveries? :)

It is available for pre-order in Italy:

Delivery time is 3-4 weeks, according to them

Yeah and we'd likely get pinged for GST to get it in the country. One good thing about the RiftS version is that it includes shipping and taxes. I'm still on the fence though.

[dburne]

Well I guess I am going to have to add a Reverb soon to my VR devices.

I would not mind having it for my flight sims.

I will keep my Rift S for my Oculus Touch games I enjoy also.

Yeah, I'm trying to justify the purchase with the same argument :lol:

German pilots: Look to HP online store Germany, don´t search for Reverb, but 2CZ77EA or VR1000-200nn. This should/must be the Reverb (Pro? see specs). I just ordered it for 499 €, this may be a price error, we will see if they will ship a Pro for that price. ETA 21st this month.

[Foxmike]

OK, got another mail this minute, shipping in progress now, still 499€ and ETA unchanged 21st.....

I got the 12th email as well but I'm counting on the fact that the only warehouse scheduled for the 12th is in Tenn. Tenn. isn't far from PA so it should be a short travel time :D

[Foxmike]

Yes, see specs, must be Reverb Pro??!

EDIT:

 

Although, weirdly, this one is:

The one pictured by @philstyle, and located in several places online, definitely is not.

 

Be very careful...

 

 

Reverb has an overhead strap, a circular rear pad, headphones, and a fabric covered faceplate.

That doesn't look like the Reverb
