What country are you?
Wait it's past 5 am?! What. The. Fuck. And I haven't even played new games. Went to robot repair again and played windlands. For 3 hours!!!! I'm starting to see the chaperone grid in real life. Time to hit the bed. I think I'm gonna wake up in pain.
Totally agree. A lot of games could use some configurability.
Man I'm shocked at how good windlands feels with the motion controls.

Italy, only 1 guy received the shipping confirmation so far and it had a xx:01 confirmation email

I just got mine setup last night. I'll type my impressions as soon as I get 15 minutes. My space is 10x6. Feels like the absolute min. I'd say if you can somehow stretch that 5ft to 6ft you will be ok.
I dont get this, it is free on Gear VR so why are they charging?

I haven't really thought too much about how I'm going to set things up when it arrives, but now that it's shipped I realise that I probably should.
I'm going to have the bare minimum space of 1.5m by about 2.5m. How do games orient the space relative to you, is it based on where you're face when it starts or can you manually orient it?

its enough - the stated minimum is about 6.5ft x 5ft so you have slightly more width which will be good when aiming left/right. Even better if you have low furniture your arms can go over - like a bed or sofa.
It could be ok as the start of a sentence. The rose and I (hang out and play some games).

HTC rep is appeasing the shipping mob:

Nice of her to do that.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
I don't see anything useful there. It could be a bot and there would be no difference.

Eh, the use is in keeping the mob from self imploding on the situation. Days of silence creates a far worse wave of impatience from what I've seen in past launches.
I don't exactly expect her to have earth shattering information and tracking numbers for each order number tweeted to her. Maybe a map of shipping times across the world?

Not at all. Actually you could but you'd be extremely incompetent
She's looking into it, man. Every single one!

Have you tried flipping what controller is in a given hand after starting the game up? As in hold what is supposed to be the right hand controller in your left hand and vice versa. Should theoretically not impact your ability to play, but it should have some... interesting effects on the IK for everybody that sees you lol.

No one would be paying attention to it to be honest. If everyone gets into it as much as me then they're only worried about living through a duel.
View the message source if you can. Note that the time shown is the time that hotmail accepted the email, which may differ from the time the order was placed.
In terms of the :24, the digital river servers were not synced to an NTP server - they seem to have been 30-40 minutes out. Note that the DR servers also don't seem to have been synced with each other.
It's impressive that Digital River managed to mess things up this badly.

That's cool. Hope they're not using you.
Yeah! We should make a May-shipping(hopefully) support group!
Woo, was finally able to confirm my bank account with PayPal. Unless the MS guy gives me some sort of estimate today after he checks in at the store, I'll likely preorder online tomorrow.
If he does email me today I'll post what he says. Hopefully he's able to get some concrete details on when the MS stores expect to get the Vive.

I look at it this way: By the time May rolls around HTC should (hopefully) have the kinks worked out with the billing and shipping. These first wavers have already lost a month of their life from dealing with the stress.

says june but you never, i signed up anyways.
Yeah. That's not how it works.
You can't substitute your actual physical life with a virtual one. That's a surefire way of going even further off the deep-end. Life is not like The Matrix.

He's not wrong though.
I've got my 970 overclocked slightly with a 2500k at 4.7 ghz and it runs fine.
My biggest issue was having the base stations too far apart which was causing glitching that also seemed to affect framerate. I think the Reef experience of theBlu is the hardest and does have a noticeable amount of small framerate stutter but not enough to ruin the experience, but enough to prevent me from just getting a chair out and sitting in the reef world (which could be fun) and hanging out for pleasure.
I'd buy it again. But I've spent about 250 on VR games in the last 2 days, so I'm not a good example of restraint.
Bringing up the steam interface while a game is running or downloading another steam game in the background seemed to cause more issues. Loading games can cause tracking glitches. But every game I've tried so far has worked just fine, and nothing has had me diving for my wallet to upgrade prior to my planned VR build when pascal hits.

This is pretty damn cool. The Lab - Hidden Valve Demo Rooms
Sure didn't, thanks for the link. The guy also mentioned the possibility of them getting a demo unit at the store. Hopefully they get one and I can try it out. It would be an hour drive for me, though. I guess I'll preorder online tomorrow.
