[QUOTE=Beacon;45478552]give rift [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] it seems like people are expecting an announcement today? on reddit at least[/QUOTE] Tomorrow is much more likely. But we will see.
if it dispatched tomorrow and arrived friday that would be so good

Tacticool level: Rift. Trying to develop and compare between two version? Wear them at the same time to rapidly switch back and forth. I'm imagining working like this in my head. And it's really cool.
Every time a new DK comes out he just pushes the old one from the way and straps the new one on. And I hope both for our and for his good that this was the only time he has done that.

I'm imagining working like this in my head. And it's really cool.[/QUOTE] it drives me up a fucking wall when people put a unit on their forehead like that. EVERY time I have someone try my rifts, I'll tell them to put it straight to their eyes instead of resting it on their head, and they still slap it on their forehead and tighten up the straps before lowering it to their eyes, then complain that the lenses are smudgy
is that sixense or whatever?

[QUOTE=joost1120;45479246]No wonder the Rift is going to be so cheap. Developers are being forced to work twice as hard at gunpoint.[/QUOTE] Look at him, I think he would have been more scared if there was someone in-game to point a gun at him.
a guy on reddit is posting pictures saying his credit card has been charged and he got the email that his DK2 is about to ship orkel's response: [t]http://puu.sh/aopKn/e0be6fc4ac.png[/t] [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] yeah it definitely seems like they're beginning to be shipped
[B]It's happening for real guys.[/B] Multiple people reporting charges to their credit cards along with notifications of their orders being processed. Tonight's the night
time to f5 my checking account [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] my order info still says pending :( and i don't know if i trust reddit on this one (no word outside of it)

I was 9:46 AM PDT, which was in the first two hours I think. so clearly this is completely random (people with earlier times than the guy on reddit and in the same area haven't updated) or its a bunch of trolls
it's not trolling, a 343 dev confirmed it [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] it is actually happening, just weirdly [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] [t]http://puu.sh/aos2V/b3eeec7ce3.png[/t] [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/VRxaLqf.gif[/t] [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] orkel plz don't ban it's a special occasion [highlight](User was banned for this post ("IMAGE MACRO" - Orkel))[/highlight]
my credit card is ready
[quote] They will go out mostly in order. We are just running a few smaller batches on a per region basis to make sure everything is working good before we automate things. Also, only credit card orders are getting the email, if you paid with PayPal you will not receive an email until we actually ship the package.[/quote] (aimed at europe but applies to US as well:) [quote]Guys, just go to sleep. If anything happens you will see the email when you wake up.[/quote] [editline]23rd July 2014[/editline] so i guess if you don't have one tomorrow morning you're SOL
is there a date they plan to ship in august or is it just august? [editline]24th July 2014[/editline] also "go out mostly in order" fuck, I ordered basically JUST before it changed to September. does that mean I'll get mine late as fuck?
Not been staying up to date with Oculus - is there any news about the consumer version release date yet?
[QUOTE=Freeze;45481599]Not been staying up to date with Oculus - is there any news about the consumer version release date yet?[/QUOTE] 2015 is the best you're gettin'
No email as of yet (Netherlands). Let's hope that changes in the course of the day.

Welp I guess because new hampshire isnt California means im not in this batch despite having an early order. But with that week delay not like it matters much since I'm going on vacation.

Mine is also processing. Looks like 8:55am was fast enough for the first batch after all, yay.

Give it to me or permaban
