C'mon HTC, if you ship my Vive today you'll probably beat my Rift here.
PayPal order here still with no shipping email. UGH
Nope, nothing.
When did you get your order confirmation? I'm trying to check if they are sending them out in-order even within "waves".

Looks like some pre-orders are actually going to be delivered today. I'm jealous.

Hmm. I need a Vive drawn with similar artwork to my avatar. I really need to find the pen for my drawing tablet.

Have fun everyone! Wish I could get one but that doesn't seem to be possible for me right now. Hopefully by the time Vive 2 comes around I'll be able to snag one.
Will read this thread for all the impressions you guys got though!

Now we play the waiting game.
Oh shit yeah I'll put em in one I get to the office
That's what I though. I'll just wait for the 2nd gen then. Not in a hurry.
Didn't know about this, cool stuff

I'm a wave 1 order, charged last Thursday, still haven't gotten a shipping notification. I'm gonna be very sad and jealous of everyone else around here for a little bit, I think.

Implying any of us are going to get shipping sooner than you will. lol.
I asking about the HTC order confirmation timing in particular, since I know that KingSnake is also in Austria Wave 1.
iOS app is not up yet for US
I was talking about Europe, more specifically Austria (but I will edit my post since it seems confusing). There is still plenty of time left for you. I got my shipping estimation at 15:39 (CET).
I received the order confirmation e-mail at "29 february 2016 16:06:24".
Well...
According to reddit, it looks like Texas shipments are starting to go out with an estimated delivery date of 4/6.

Ok, that's fine.
Mine was 16:09. If you had ordered after me and still got shipping earlier ALL HELL WOULD HAVE BROKEN LOOSE.

This is where I'm at except I don't really want to wait, I just can't justify spending quite that much on it. I was pretty close to ordering the Rift but I backed off at the last second and I'm in the same boat here. I'd have probably dived on it if it were at the same price as the Rift so I'm hoping for a slightly lower price in gen 2.

I have it installed. Search for it in the AppStore. Maybe my link was bad.
Edit: no, link is fine but the store is acting weird using it. It is available though. can post screens if useful.
edit: huh, it appears to have been removed from the store?? It was there when I installed it a couple of days ago.
RIP
Are you signed up for Fedex Delivery Manager? That's how he was notified. No email from htc yet.
I just checked the HTC order page and it's the same as before.
That might be the reason.

My history.
Ordered in first couple minutes. Email from HTC at :22 on Day 1.
Changed payment to new card on 3/26
Pending payment on 3/31 for $878
Called Credit card company they said charge was approved not flagged for fraud or anything.
As of this morning pending charge gone and not on transactions list either.
No shipping email, nothing in FedEx delivery manager, invoice still there.
So waiting on an email or the charge to reappear.

I am! I'll post if I get an email.
Looks like there are a few more steps to this - here's a guide: http://www.roadtovr.com/how-to-use-...l-support-non-vr-games-desktop-theather-mode/

Yes, there seem to have been some today in most European countries.
But more importantly, I didn't get one ;.(
Nothing in UK as far as I saw on Reddit. Mostly PayPal orders from the first minutes in other EU countries (Italy, France, Norway, Germany, Austria ...).

I lost that email somehow, so I thought I'd show the next best thing
I thought I also saw a UK mention on reddit. Maybe I misremembered.

Can't wait to get mine. Have an entire room cleared out for it. At least until the new baby due in August is ready to move into it.
Midwest, Wave 1, Card Charged, no shipping email. Hoping for one today.

So annoying. Even confirmation of shipping TOMORROW would be better than nothing
I've got a +1 minute UK order so I'd better be soon!

Even after the screw up at the bank i may still get my Vive this Friday, HTC started shipping before the bank froze my payment due to fraud and cancelled my card. I spoke to the bank rectified everything but unfortunately the account will remain frozen until i reactivate it when i get my new card. So i'm not sure whats going to happen and i don't know whether the payment will clear or not while the accounts locked, the rep said it should but it might not (non answer lol) but the package is still on its way so i'm hopeful.
But this whole saga has aged me terribly.

Yes, got a shipping confirmation! But the estimate says it will be delivered Monday next week. Oh noes.
CC or Paypal?
If I don't get premium shipping after paying 61 for it I'll not be amused. Where are you located?Yes, got a shipping confirmation! But the estimate says it will be delivered Monday next week. Oh noes.
