No option to order the Rift without the controller? It's bundled in?

that's referring to the wireless xbox controller

Oh well :downs:
Hey, I could always use more of those. They're great controllers.
Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to the Xbone controller. Currently I'm using a DS3 that turns my ps3 on whenever I unplug it by accident

I'm kinda surprised that the Vive controllers are still going for the wand-like grip. It doesn't strike me as elegant as the Touch controllers. Looks like the Lighthouse tracking system requires quite a surface area on the tracked object for the light sensors to do their job.[/QUOTE]
Damn, this pic makes the Vive controllers look massive. As long as they're light I won't be bothered. The Vive Pre looks really nice and polished, even though I loathe the constant delays, both HTC and Oculus seem to be pushing for absolute VR perfection on launch day, which is great. At this point I'm more than sold on the hardware, I'm just concerned about the software that exists for it (or more specifically, doesn't exist). It'll be exciting to see how the VR market shapes up once the things actually.. You know, hit the market, and we see both the real-world consumer interest in VR as well as developer interest once availability stops becoming an obstacle for potential VR developers. I know I'll be developing for VR once I get a kit, so I'm sure there are a ton of other people who are also waiting for their chance to make something cool. I get the feeling that the indie VR community will be really, really enjoyable for the first few years at least.

Also yeah, I gotta say that Oculus Touch looks way more intuitive than the Vive wands. I'm beginning to wonder if Vive's Lightroom system will be worth having to use the wands AND pay more. I'm really not sure who I want to throw money at :(
[QUOTE=Scot;49463348]Well the Engadget article says that Chaperone is the breakthrough they were talking about.[/QUOTE]
See ~2:10 in the video interview that TomsHardware did.
The other guys don't have anything to source their claim on, like every other report claiming the camera is the only breakthrough.
[editline]5th January 2016[/editline]
Spoke too soon about that last bit. The HTC marketing guy on UploadVR basically said nothing about the Mura correction detail.
Still going to put more weight on Chet's words though.

hmmm that does make pre-ordering sound a lot more appealing but I'm not committing without a release date.
We'll find that out in 14 hours :)
Tested my system with 3D Mark... I'm not ready for VR apparently :(

Not sure what the issue is though; do I need a better card with more memory? The site says my GPU is fine though and that my CPU is holding back for whatever reason.
[QUOTE=Orkel;49463045]$275, as in those who got a DK1 from the kickstarter.[/QUOTE]
i remember not having money/job at the time, so i couldn't afford the kickstarter
i've had my current job for 3½-4 years now, with money to count
time sure does fly... cough

There's a huge difference between the 960 and 970. Your CPU is fine, it's the 960 bottlenecking.

not really, you can see the person holding it has a very fat and stubby hand
I'm 95% sure I'll preorder when the floodgates open. (as long the price isn't shockingly high for some reason, $600 is my limit.)
Been following this shit since the beginning, and time after time I've been on the verge to buy a devkit but always told myself cv soon... just a bit longer.. never happen but the time is here now and I'm more excited then ever!
Just out of curiosity, how long do you guys think it will take for it to come to local retail stores and other webshops?
Sony CES event stream is going on atm

Currently talking about new cameras, but let's hope they announce something PSVR.
the cheaper the rift will be, the more people will buy it though
first wave out in less than 10 minutes, i'd say

From the way Luckey worded one of his tweets, the chances of them actually going completely out of stock are next to none

unless its super super cheap, like you said
which isnt likely to be the case
[QUOTE=Orkel;49464500][media]https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/684540696951308288[/media][/QUOTE]
Well then I'll just order it tomorrow even though I currently have no money :D
I wonder how bad the USD > CAD conversion is going to kick my ass. Shipping shouldn't be too bad at least?

Anyone know what time the AMA is? Same as when the preorders open?
It's a little bit after it
[editline]6th January 2016[/editline]
5:30PM PST
Cant wait to preorder, I hope they don't require some stupid shit like requiring you to logging with your facebook to preorder.
Wow, nothing about PSVR in the keynotes disappointing.
i saw it in the video at the end though, wtf
