    • 599$ did not faze you, and YOU PRE-ORDER IT!
    • 599$ puts me into bankrupcy - I will not spend that kind of money - WILL NOT BUY
    • on the fence, will BUY LATER (at retail launch)

@Icarus, I'm getting the same thing but I don't really see much of a difference between their rec. CPU and what I have besides the one they say you need has an onboard graphics chip. And mine runs a little hotter.

 

Scratches head again.

 

EDIT: And the one they rec features AVX2 / F16C / FMA3 instructions.

Are they letting people order more than one?

Oculus Rift Preorder

 

Anyone get in on this? The order process was a pain, but I managed to get through it.

 

Expected delivery in March.

6700K@4.6 48Gb - 1080Ti Hybrid - Warthog - RIFT

So I explore other options now.

 

Cheap DK2, replace MiPi Board and upgrade the screen.

 

Buy Rift CV cheap from ebay when ppl realize their PC or laptops can run it and just wanna make some money back.

 

or Use Samsung Gear VR and either sideload the APK file to run my note 4 as USB Monitor or build my own 4K screen with replacement screen plus HDMI MiPi Board.

 

$600 is stupendously high, even with games and Xbox One Controller.

Windows 10 Pro, Ryzen 2700X @ 4.6Ghz, 32GB DDR4-3200 GSkill (F4-3200C16D-16GTZR x2),

3x ASUS VS248HP + Oculus HMD, Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + MFDs

Yeah something is odd with that for sure.

 

@Derek, not sure if you can or not... I went ahead and ordered it, figure I can always sell it if need be but I'm still a little taken back about the price, was thinking $475.

The joke is...they recommend me buying a slower processor. What a cock up.

 

 

Too expensive, no specs, and secret shipping costs. No dice.

 

shipping to UK is £30 Inc taxes.

 

it tells you when ordering.

 

payment taken when shipped

Who does these conversion rates $600 = £410, where has the other £90 come from? UK customers get arse raped again. I was expecting Vive to cost £500 not Rift. but I get two games (that I cannot choose) and a xBox controller (to go with the one I already have) for the additional £200. Not to mention potential for £100 VAT charge + £30 shipping.

 

Oculus can go forth and multiply (**** off in other words).

Well I'm UK and I ordered without hesitation... Maybe because I had a DK2 for a while and was blown away by the immersion (then I sold it for a nice little profit after advertising for what I paid - 2 buyers got carried away and bid against each other)

 

Simming is expensive. We all know that... I put a 980Ti in when they released in preparation for Oculus and there was no way I wasn't missing out. I got in for the March delivery so I'll be booking a couple of days off work end of March into early April :P

 

Flight sims, Race sims, Experiences when people come over for a beer... I can't bloody wait!

I would hope you are right. Don't get me wrong this isn't that I don't have the money, but my expectations of cost where a fair chunk lower, and I only had a second class ticket on the hype train.

 

I was kind of edging on OR being £350, and Vive £500. I am certainly going to wait for the Vive pricing before I splash out. I bet HTC were wiping the sweat from their brows, shouting "phew", and then laughing their tits off when the saw the $599 dollar price tag.

Wow that's steep! I was edging towards the Vive already, over to HTC and Valve to see what they can offer price wise.

I told her I need a system too. I reckoned a £1000 all in, but now it is like the £1500 I assumed I would need.
