Oculus Rift and DCS World Discussion

[Cowboy10uk]

I am just very tight when it comes to spending money lol

 

also the guys who ordered from the uk, do you have to consider import duty or is that factored into the shipping / tax charge?

 

 

I'm assuming that it is factored in, it certainly states VAT - $77 on my receipt. Which is all the import duty is.

Have you guys tried the Oculus with Outerra?

[bongodriver]

Yes, it's amazing

[SimFreak]

Ordered. I live only once...

[Frusheen]

Ordered as well.

 

Regarding VAT. My last order was shipped to me from the UK so I had no import charges. I guess oculus are passing on the EU import duty to the consumer and then shipping to the consumer from within the EU so we don't pay twice.

[Scoggs]

They did not list any charge for taxes on my attempted order. That will come back to bite them.

 

Well they are based in the US and if they aren't located in Virginia then you won't have to pay sales tax unless your state has a law for that. Usually the only time you will pay tax for an online company would be if they are located in the state in which you reside.

 

Edit.

Really thinking of getting it. How hard is it to have it work with DCS? Can anyone supply documentation please?

i think there's info in this thread, regardless DK2 doesnt ship until July

[jay43]

Anything shipped from outside of the UK is bound for customs landing duties and the dreaded VAT, but only if the country of origin is not part of the EU.

So anything state side is VATable along with customs duty's.

There are ways around the VAT and duty's you just have to be in the know like for example FedEx are by all accounts in breach of duty's in the UK, on their invoice it will come under the heading admin fees which they are clearly not admin fees, they are taking it calling it something else and not declaring it themselves.

There are others doing the same and there are other ways around it to.

I never got stung for import duty for my DK1

Thanks, just saw that in an article. They also mentioned the consumer version already has a prototype and is vastly better than the DK2. May wait for the final. Really can't wait for this though!

[blksolo]

I have the DK1 and as badly as I want to get DK2 I'm going to pass. Like most of you I have been following Oculus since the beginning. I think I predicted somewhere on these forums that we would see DK2 in June/July and that they would be backlogged from hell on orders.So realistically I'm thinking most of you wont receive them until Sept/Oct and I'm thinking CV1 comes out in November. You heard it here first lol.

How much better is what I want to know,

 

Dk2 has everything I need,

 

 

If CV has Earphones, Extra USB Ports, etc etc etc, I dont need that stuff.

 

unless its a better screen, then It's pointless to me.

 

I also have to dig for my DVI->HDMI Adapter, since I use all DisplayPorts for my screens.

 

meh, I got til July.

[blksolo]

I dont know if they will have a better screen but I do know that DK2 is 75hz while the minimum for CV1 is supposed to be 90 or higher.

[blksolo]

And I'm getting a 2500 dollar guitar this week,so there you forced my confession,I dont have enough spare funds to get both lol

[Glowing_Amraam]

Placed my order in as well. ;)

On their Blog they quote :

"We’re deep into development on the consumer Rift. We have a lot more planned, including improvements to comfort, resolution, tracking, software, ergonomics, optics, industrial design, and the overall experience."

 

So I will wait for the cv.

So now that the cat is out of the bag about DK2,I wonder if the kits ED and Wags have been using the past month or so are DK2?

I was waiting for too long... all these months of hesitation whether or not to buy DK1. Well since they did not announce anything relating release date of Consumer version I'm buying DK2.

Probably will sell it later before CV release so why not.

If I were to get DK2, and then CV, DK2 would be a hand me down to my brother, as he would need something for star citizen.

[Revelation]

I placed my pre-order for a DK2 as well. Can't wait...
