Actually it's not high fov with that setup. The biggest distinction with the rift is that it uses modern tracking and display technology.

No official support yet, but I read somewhere the developer ordered a Dev kit:

Thanks! I'll keep working on it. = DPretty convincing posh English accent actually. Only spotted a few mistakes, biggest one was saying can't with the US pronunciation, rather than 'carn't'Work on that for next time
Speaking of can't, I can't wait for this to come out to retail, think its going to be insanely massive. None of the new consoles excite me very much, this to me is really next gen.
Strike Suit Zero will get Rift support ASAP.

Well palmers version, which the first one you linked is based on, has a fov of ~50° which is obviously much more than the common home setup delivers.

I'm trying to hold back and wait for the final version, but it's sooo hard 
Will the release version be around the same price tag, and will de dev kit be updated with new features the final version might get?

Someone on Reddit just posted a picture. Apparently people are starting to receive them now.

Was there any comment on integration of the Rift with any of the new consoles?
It begins! When did you ordered your one?

I think they will be aiming for a similar price tag, they want it to be affordable.
I'm order # 151 and mine still says "Processing"
Don't worry, this is what the first guy that reported having received the rift said on reddit:
[]jayoh
none. still says "processing" on the site. of note is that it came from CA, a ups ship center.
I'm order #403.
Apparently they have not updated anyone's order status to shipped or sent out any tracking info yet but people are receiving them. I got an alert from UPS last night that a 6.4lb package originating in Orange County would be delivered today and I've confirmed with other people with a low order number that it is the Rift.
Impossible to know. Palmer has said in at least one interview that he wants the consumer model to be cheaper, but it's going to be highly dependent on what comes out of feedback from the devkit, what kind of deal they can get on screens when they finally build the consumer model, etc.
It's clear, though, that the consumer model will definitely be the one to get when it finally arrives, just for the lighter weight and better screen tech. If you aren't comfortable with plunking $300 down on a piece of hardware that is going to be smoked by the consumer model, I'd avoid.
Woo-hoo!

It's going to be a long, long wait.

You can change the optics and get it up to 90. Im waiting for comparisons with the real rift and people will probably figure out a way to hack something similar that's good enough for tinkering around with. Then I'll just wait for the retail version of the rift.
Big interview with Oculus crew.

Is your avatar really saying what I think it's saying...
I'm stuck at work and UPS almost never gets to my neighborhood before 6pm anyway so it's probably going to be a while unfortunately
. I'm definitely going to go home at lunch and if it's been delivered I'll may come up with an excuse to be out for the rest of the day.

LOL, yeah I know that feel. I built a computer around christmas time and UPS ALWAYS delivered my parts past 9pm for me
I only thought they would ship Rift's today, not deliver, so this will be an exciting weekend for sure.
Dat face.Yup, seems he got it

They just opened the developer section at https://developer.oculusvr.com and everyone is rushing to sign up.

I must be one of the few people who was a bit underwhelmed after all the hype this was getting. The response was pretty good, but man the refresh rate bugged me and I was starting to get a bit of motion sickness because of it. I never get motion sickness for anything, especially games. I just sort of expected the experience to be more than it was based on all the hype. I understand that this is a dev kit build and not the consumer version but it felt to me like it still needs more time. Either that or Hawken is a bad demo to show it off.
*arrgh*
Kind of why I've prevented myself from ordering the developer version. I just remain skeptical how ready it is right now (and flaws are more easily forgiven in a short demo).
What was it about the response rate? Not just the smearing of the screen? It sounds more like your brain was reacting to the lag between the motion and screen response. Which is something that's almost as important with the consumer version upgrade as the expected upgrade to 1080p.
I do feel like some are going to be disappointed long term because a lot of the hype is based on the potential of where this is going. And the dev kit, flaws and all, is more than good enough for that (since a dev tool just needs the basic framework to start producing content).
It's nice to know that even though I'm a high number, I won't have to wait for days while the package slowly winds its way to me over land.
Anyone twitch streaming or anything yet?

"OCULUS RIFT!!!!!!"
They are too busy having their minds blown. Slightly jealous of all the people who now have these in their hands/mail. Looking forward to the opportunity to get the retail version.

They've already been brainwashed by the "VR device" and are out robbing banks and depositing the funds into Palmer Luckey's Swiss bank account.
I just experienced the Tuscany demo and promptly shat myself! I cannot believe how this thing literally transports you to another place!!
If you've got the Rift dev kit, download the Tuscany demo and have it be the first thing you experience!
Oh and put on some music, as the demo has no sound.
Note: Many of you will want to wait for the consumer version, as the resolution is VERY low and the screendoor is in full effect here! Apart from that, the future just started today!
/plugs back in
Will have more later!! /BOOM
