From January 4th:

 

 

 

I was pretty close...we'll see if they publish the total units sold.

 

You did nail it, I figured when they last said the Rift would be over 399, it might be in the 400-450 range, and around 600 including the Touch inputs. I was way out of the ball park.

 

I still believe the six hundred is below cost. I guess when they're payroll went up to three hundred +, relatively highly paid techs, and all the new custom parts, it adds up quickly.

 

I'm also surprised that more specs weren't announced at the start of preorders. BUT its easy to cancel, or not even pre-order until more facts are known.

Try chrome if you can. I had issues on safari with the support page but it worked in chrome.

But think of it this way. If you use your 3 monitors (or maybe it was four?) for sim'ing, you can sell two off them off and use Rift!

 

Honestly, I wish they had the "no controller, no games for $100 off" option.

 

I use my screens for more than gaming and its up to 8 Now.

For DCS, it's automatic. When the game starts, it displays on Rift and on the main monitor as well - replica of what you see in Rift.

Still no Rift specs, even in the current reddit AMA question and answer session with Palmer Luckey. Other than saying the specs will be released soon, and all or most of the Rift parts are custom made. The OLED displays are custom made with VR specific features, as are the Optics lenses. One of the reasons the price went up significantly.

 

Vive and Oculus are still being very tight lipped on the final specs.

I think that the relative strength of the USD will hurt international sales a bit. Buddy of mine in Canada said it would be nearly $1000CAD delivered. OUCH. And I winced at the $599 price tag.

Ya, I'm in Canada. I think it came to $914 total after tax and shipping. :(

Due to the amount of technology (quality of the displays, motion tracking, etc) I am not at all surprised about the price tag. This is an enthusiast level piece of hardware that requires enthusiast equipment to even run (970 or better GPU).

 

It was, however, pretty bad PR to be throwing around ballpark numbers that low balled the price by a lot.

 

I will wait to see some reviews before I purchase this though.

"The Rift’s American base price is US$599, but in Taiwan it costs US$650 and the Japanese price of Y83,800 is equivalent to more than US$700. And that’s before shipping costs, which are likely to be substantial."

I am not happy about the bundle options also, I don't need the 2 stupid games or that controller (I could even go without fancy case) :mad:

No longer active in DCS...

This is a incredible fiasco LOL.. wait a bit Vive will come with a Higher resolution model pretty much on the same time I did test both, Both have an incredible tracking capability but the Rift resolution was too low and still hard to read things so for Flight Sim it will be not yet good.. so I conciser the Rift as a prototype for the masses, now the Vive was superior in all and move and the screens were better .. I'll pass on this Rift and wait for the competition.

This year have to wait for the next competitor coming out and video cards new generation.
