$350 including the camera? Bought.

Do people who supported the kickstarter way back when get early shipping? :P

Edit:
What the Hz? I need to know!
 
No tracking markers? I mean, it has some distinguishing features, but not ones that could be reliably picked up in low light.
 
If only I had a spare $350 around, this would so be mine. Guess I know what I'm buying for Christmas ;3
 
So when this gets release end of the year probably. Is there enough content for it? Or does it only have techdemo's?
 
man, this is really tempting, but i have to hold out until the CV1, which is looking like a 2015 Q1/Q2 release at this point.
 
Looks really good though I am really concerned about having to set up an external camera to use the device. I know what it does is important but I wish there was some way to internalize it to make setup and its use in more dynamic environments more accessible.
 
Almost 500$ with taxes and shipping to Germany

Way to much for me at the moment, no VR for me this year... sigh :(
 
Seems like there is a problem ordering. The final "agree to terms" is missing copy, and the "submit" button is 2 pixels high. I hit submit, and it says there is an error.


I want to order RIGHT NOW.
 
Booo! Page is down!

Yay! Got it. Although there weren't any terms and the submit button was nothing ... plus the "Thank You" page isn't even showing anything.

But it's in!

Heh, the exact same thing happened to me.

Anyway:
Resolution 960 x 1080 per eye
Refresh Rate 75 Hz, 72 Hz, 60 Hz
Persistence 2 ms, 3 ms, full
Now we know the duty cycles available for the low persistence display!
Should hopefully be user selectable.
 
Just bought a PS4 last week, so I can't really justify the expense right now. That, and I need money to upgrade to the 800 series when Nvidia launches it later this year. I don't think a single 670 would be very good for the Rift at 1080p. Tough to do, but I'm gonna hold off.
 
So conflicted... Don't have a gpu good enough for this yet (but most certainly could by the time this comes out). Hmm indeed lol. If the wait for consumer version isn't that much longer will probably just wait for that. You tease me too much Oculus!
