[Guardian Monkey]

Well I am would hope if you are in the first five minutes you will get day one.

 

[Allnamestakenlol]

Bought! Wewt!

 

[runningjoke]

Bought it. Good bye real world

 

[mrklaw]

90 euros of shipping, HTC and their global distribution channels.

bastards.

There is honestly no excuse for that shipping cost. Wasn't oculus also insane? They're just boxes.

 

[bigmac996]

Got my order in. ~$880 all in.

I'll decide this month whether I want to keep this or the Oculus Rift, although leaning heavily towards Rift right now due to greater software support.

I'm in the same boat as you pretty much.

 

[MUnited83]

Those shipping prices....yeah, no.

 

[KingSnake]

The shipping costs are as ridiculous as for Rift, unfortunately. Even so, pre-ordered.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

Got a card validation error and now it says it's out of stock.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Good to go as of 10:03am, EST.

 

[Arulan]

I got my order in!

 

[JMZ555]

Got my pre-order in but the shipping cost for UK made me think twice.

Im glad i pre-ordered, can always cancel at a later time.

 

[sprinkles]

Preordered. 51 € shipping to Germany. I feel empty inside, like after donating too much blood.

 

[bj00rn_]

Bought... And of course I also pre-ordered a Rift.. I feel a little nauseous.. oh well..

 

[Nzyme32]

preordered. £750 fucking quid.

£574 before tax

+ £48 shipping (lol what?)

+ £124 tax


This thing is really going to need to blow me away for me to keep it.

Why did you bother if it was too much? The price is actually cheaper than what the conversion + 20% vat should be thanks to the Brexit effect. Postage is the bastard, but kind of expected considering the size and weight of the package you'll get. Dk1 package was pretty huge.

 

[spekkeh]

73 euro shipping, fuck you very much HTC.
Luckily my university pays, I'd have retracted my poop if I bought it for myself.

 

[Water]

90 euros of shipping, HTC and their global distribution channels.

I was ordering to Finland, saw the 90 euro shipping, but after I pressed the order button it said the price had changed. Started showing the shipping as 73 euros and that's what ended up on the invoice. *wut*

 

[artsi]

bastards.

There is honestly no excuse for that shipping cost. Wasn't oculus also insane? They're just boxes.

Rift was 43€ for me (742€ total), so HTC more than doubled that and I just can't believe it.

 

[Mdk7]

Sub-Total: 973.42 €

:|

Did you buy it?
Lo vengo a provare a casa tua!

 

[terandle]

After getting to the confirmation screen it wouldn't let me complete my order as it said the Vive was out of stock. Re did the whole process and it went through. Hopefully I made 1st wave shipments.

 

[heavy liquid]

Out of stock.

 

[Durante]

(removed order number)

It was "only" 61€ shipping to Austria.

 

[MaximusPrimus]

Got a card validation error and now it says it's out of stock.

SAME thing happened to me. First an error, then OUT OF STOCK. WTF?

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

So tempted. Was going to do it then that shipping fee just put me off!

 

[DOT DASH DOT]

Got mine in somehow.......

 

[kaleii]

I was on the fence, since I have a March Rift preorder and if the Vive shipping was free it would only be 160 euros more expensive and would include controllers.

But 90+ euros to ship to Sweden? Get outta here!

(To be honest it makes me feel a bit better about keeping the Rift.)

 

[Cimarron]

Bought!

buyers regret is a bitch.

I still want a Rift though.

I have a DK2. Any word on if the DK2 will be able to use commercial software? that might be enough for me to hold off and wait until the dust settles. I wanna play Eve!

 

[Zeknurn]

90 fucking € shipping. Jebus HTC.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

SAME thing happened to me. First an error, then OUT OF STOCK. WTF?

Same here!!!

 

[Azure Dream]

 

[Whide]

Yes, managed to pre-order! Hope its gonna blow me away when I get it.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Got one.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Out of stock.

seems like people are still ordering. maybe refresh page?

 

[T.O.P]

Oh well

973 fuckin euros

 

[mrklaw]

I'm flip flopping between this or the OR. I want one, but I don't know if the room scale + motion controllers is worth the premium.

The shipping cost is just a 'fuck you' on top of the 'holy hell' of the original price reveal. They really should have told us that ahead of time.

If I choose to sell one, or return one, I'll see if someone here wants it first (assuming they are still scarce)

 

[Specialmias]

Sold out now?

 

[PolishQ]

Got mine.

 

[Cutwolf]

Are you guys in the US? Still shows as in stock for me.

 

[x3sphere]

Took the plunge, ended up being $881 for me after tax. Can't wait till April!

 

[Evo X]

LOL, is it really sold out already?

Maybe I will keep pre-orders for both this and the Rift and flip one on ebay if they are really that scarce.

 

[spannicus]

Out of stock as i check out. Damn.

 

[Vic20]

Pr-ordered!

 

[takoyaki]

After staring at those 0:00:00 for a while and getting errors in the store, I got my preorder in.

 

[terandle]

If it says out of stock try re-doing the whole process. Worked for me.

 

[MaximusPrimus]

I'm in Canada. refreshed, reorderered, re-tried. OUT OF STOCK

 

[metareferential]

Got my preorder in after a couple minutes, got email confirmation at 16:06, six minutes after the opening.

 

[viveks86]

Gaf before 7 AM Pacific:

VR is dead

LMAO Wut?

DOA

Gaf after 7 AM Pacific:

Pre-ordered

Pre-ordered

Pre-ordered

60 euro shipping?! Fuck you, HTC. Pre-ordered

 

[Monger]

Well that was a mess. First I was getting an error, then it said out of stock so I started over and was able to preorder.

 

[Cartman86]

The Vive page on Steam itself says

Starting right now – you can pre order your Vive directly from HTC. The first shipments will begin shipping on Tuesday April 5th

 

[Vic20]

Are you guys in the US? Still shows as in stock for me.

Yup, still instock in US

 

[Dreams-Visions]

It's like having Willie Wonka's golden ticket.
