Oculus Rift - Virtual Reality

[Tbone]

So I was trying to get my dad to talk me out of getting one and he said "Would it make a difference if I said I ordered one for your brother in MAY?". Instantly hit submit and didn't look back.

Things are happening fast. My friend ordered a second one and is giving it to me for $400. I will have an Oculus Rift by the end of the night!

I still have not received mine

Had one of my first Matrix moments! I was playing a demo called Qbeh and the blocks I was looking at suddenly blew up, sending the blocks flying in all directions. BUT once it exploded, the blocks started flying in slow motion, all bullet-timey and just ended up floating around. It actually reminded me of the Animatrix when the kids are playing in the glitchy abandoned building. Very cool!

Just got this email......

You're receiving this email because your Oculus order will be advancing to "Processing" status in the next 48 hours.

Note: Once your order status has advanced to "Processing", you can no longer update your shipping information. Changing country of destination might result in your order being moved to the next shipment batch, since batches are normally allocated by distribution region.

Please take a few minutes to verify and update your shipping information via the Oculus Order Manager immediately.

Thanks again for your support!

Sincerely,

Best part of the video, "Think of all the porn!  This changes everything!"

The genie can't go back into the bottle.

Once a new technology is adopted by the porn industry, it's basically guaranteed to thrive.

I just can't order one until they bake in positional head tracking.  I know how motion sick I get... without it, I'd be a vomit machine.  Also, I'm pretty pumped for the higher res version.  

BUT DAMMIT YOU JERKS ARE TEMPTING ME.

Just put the money aside like I did and let them work out the kinks.  I'm in no hurry to get a half baked product.

Yes it's cool, yes it seems like it would be fun but I'm not in a hurry.

This.  I have the money saved and ready, but I'm done being an early-adopter.  I'd much rather sit back and let others test the waters before I dive in.  :)

I'll be waiting for the final product. The Dev kit is cool, and you can be a cool kid for having an early version if you want, but I am not going to buy a Dev kit to only buy a retail version a year later. It's just not a smart way to spend money, even if you have it in excess like I do for toys these days.

I will admit I've hovered over the buy button many times, but having just dropped some serious coin on an OriginPC system, it's a lot easier to just say no lol.

The Rift is going to be so fucking boss.
