if it's as good as he says it is, then it will be worth the cost of that plus this. If VR is as potentially amazing as people think it is then I will be compelled to to pay the price.

Given that consoles still outnumber gaming PC I say it does matter, and nintendo launched the nes before sega's master system in NA and it made all the difference in the world
I wouldn't even bother trying FF again, i tried it at least 40 times and got the same error every single time, i think their token system is borked for anything other than IE for paypal transactions.WTF. I'll try again in FF, if it doesn't work I guess I'll fire up IE for the first time since setting up my PC
Fire up IE and get it ordered!

2600k is still one of the better CPU's out there. Yes, you'd probably need an upgrade to you GPU.
I just now finally managed to order as well!
It worked now though, I think it was just by chance that it started working when you tried IE
I don't know how you can claim that, when you know they refused to reveal CC's refresh rate.
They've been no more transparent about it than Sony.
But what difference does that make?
You mean because PS4 has VR, Rift just lost the complete PS4 install base? VR was never going to divert meaningful numbers of people to the PC with the CV1 anyway. It's a device primarily for the high end core PC gamer market, and we'll see expansion over many years from that.

Waiting for Consumer Version
Not gonna be sweep away by the hype wave of DK2
When Consumer will be an upgrade version

Or you can order this now, and sell it on to a family member or something with CV1 comes out at the end of 2015
Sadly been expecting that for quite sometime now.- consumer version unlikely in 2014
Guess I'll go for the dev kit 2 this time.
fake edite : by the time I post thise, I already ordered the dev kit 2.

I'm IN-3103886. So I have no idea what the numbers mean.
Well in on of the interviews he says if DK1 was 0% then DK2 is 70%. Assuming CV1 is 100%, i'm guessing less than a year away. He did once that if CV1 isn't out by the end of 2015 something has gone horribly wrong
Didn't they? They were coy about it when it was first unveiled because the news of their cusom low persistence screens wasn't out there. But I'm certain the refresh rate was revealed not even two days later.

Possibly, would certainly explain the paypal option not showing up, weirdly it was still showing up in firefox going through the order process, but if i used the edit details button on the confirmation page, it wouldn't list paypal there.
Ah well, looking forward to messing with it, my DK1 got a hell of a lot of use but extended development with it on made me feel sick because of the disconnect between lateral motion and tilt (fixed position rotation syndrome).
I wonder if it'll come in a fancy case like the DK1?
That would be pretty sweet. Having to handle dual 1080P displays at 90hz (which i assume would require locked 90fps under best conditions) might be a bit much for a lot of systems though.
Ok, this won't be as simple as I hoped
Would have been nice to get an estimate on the rate at which they are selling.

If they announce a release date for CV1 before DK2 ships, I'll cancel my order.
Good point, I was only thinking about the dev kits.

Mine is BM-4102310. and that was ordered just before yours, some others don't have the BM but instead different letters (guessing ours is BM due to paypal)

Me and Nzyme32 were both looking for it and we couldn't find it, maybe they did, but they were open about resolution, FoV and low persistence in interviews I found where they still wouldn't disclose refresh rate.

Thank you for posting, just put my order in... so excited!
Yeah, could be. BM for "Bum" because you pay with Paypal?
That, and input-to-pixel latency. And it kills online streaming. What's not to like?
960x1080 is the spec of the consumer Morpheus headset to be released in 2015 though right? If Morpheus was being released in July of this year with 960x1080 per eye and then updated to higher resolution in 2015 like Rift DK2/CV1 then I doubt people would have been complaining.

I don't have the funds for it right now but as soon as the final retail product is out I'm buying it asap.
It might even get me interested in Titanfall.

Will this or consumer version be compatible with any video source? Will I be able to plug in HDMI from PC or console and play with controller in surround screen? I can't do head tracking (long shitty medical story).
Mines JP-013559x (just hid one number, I know its only an order number but its not really relevant to the thread anyway so..)
That's a pretty decent price. The one thing they seem to be saving for the consumer version is how it actually fits on your head. I assume the final version will have more than just a strap around your head. Seems it's heavier than DK1. I've never used one of these things but I do wonder how comfortable they are at this stage.

The consumer version is probably going to have even better image quality.
The Rift is incompatible with traditional signals. The image has to be distorted to account for the lenses in the Rift.

Um.. Where are you guys getting these? These your order numbers?
Ordered it to tinker around with. I'm not expecting much lasting value since if the consumer model is better and the thing is awesome I'll upgrade. But fuck it, everyone's been talking about this forever and whenever I go to trade shows the lines to try this are too goddamn insane to wait in, so I'll just pay the $400 so I can finally test it out.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I want it, but I know I will regret buying this version. I also know i'll regret not buying it. I wish I had a friend who would get it, but I feel like i'm going to go years without actually experiencing VR for myself.
EDIT: I did it. Too late now universe! I'm living a little!

ah man I love binaural audio, really hope VR pushes devs to implement into to games in the future, glad at least Sony seemed to realize how important this is with Morpheus.
Rift would be a cheaper option for me.. dont have a PS4 yet But I do have a gaming PC
BN-0953117 here. I wonder if we are in the first wave? Anyone with their order number starting with A?
BO-0124118, I'm cry.
