Thank you so much. I won't actually get to use it until later tonight, but I didn't want to be paranoid thinking if things aren't working properly it's actually my fault.

When did you order? I mean... if you ordered right now would the estimate be fucking 2017 or something?
Mine was pushed to June. Think I'll just cancel it.

I got my order in around the 5 minute mark when pre orders went up. My estimated shipping is 5/2/16 - 5/12/16. I might just cancel it as well.
yeah same as mine, kind of shit

I dunno, only a few weeks ago the Oculus site was still showing an estimated shipping date of July if you ordered then. I think pre-orders tailed off drastically after the first few weeks, as my pre-order from the middle of January was also July.
Just checked, it shows July 11-21 now. I'm actually happy to have my date pushed back, as it gives me more time to decide if I really want to buy this thing or not.

Meh. And things were going so well today. I guess it's not too bad but I am hoping to see it ship in the next couple of days considering that I am 6 minutes and 4 seconds. I feel like they could get me in the next wave of Canadians, easily.
Anyone get an estimate earlier than the 18th?

You were at :24 right? I was at :30 so I'm afraid what window I would have been in. Feel better about cancelling now but jeez.

...Really oculus?

I have no idea. There are KS backers saying their estimates are for late July - early August.
If these aren't like some kind of automated initial numbers to get the estimated ship dates onto the page, or some kind of "worst case scenario" numbers, Oculus is in for a fucking ride I think. Will wait for some kind of messaging before lighting a torch, though.

I wonder if they processed orders for the entire week today. It went for a few hours.

This suggests those shipping windows are highly suspect. Someone who had their order ship a few minutes ago had a shipping window of April 18th to 28th.

Ridiculous... what a shitshow.
Was listed for April. Ordered within 30 minutes of pre-orders going up. I'll probably just stick with my Vive pre-order for May now.

Estimated Ship Date: 5/16/2016 - 5/26/2016
I was on the site the moment it went up but had issues getting my card to go through. Sold my DK 1 & 2 a few weeks back so it looks like I'll have to be VR-less another month longer. At least I've got an estimated date now. Time to delve into my backlog to tide me over.

They say a lot of the 1-3 email peeps will miss that window.
My order is literally seconds away. I expected it to happen tomorrow or Wednesday. I am still holding out hope.
There are people who got April 12th to 22nd estimates as well.

I had issues with Oculus not accepting my credit card during the pre-orders as many others did. I was able to finally ordered one 30 minutes later with an April date. Now it has an estimated ship date of 5/23/2016 - 6/2/2016. Absurd. I can't believe they have been backed by a billion dollar company. I understand if issues arise during manufacturing or shipping. However, they have been completely amateur about this.
Still looking forward to trying the Rift, but come on..

Yep,same here. I ordered a Vive a week or so ago just because I was fed up with Oculus' failures and got a May estimate. Now it looks like the Vive will ship before my Rift. Sorry Oculus,you fucked up bigtime.
Check your order page. Should be there.
Can confirm, I'm backer #73.

Welp I have a may ship date for a preorder made 6 minutes after it opened. I'm fairly certain that I will be cancelling my Rift order.
Yea, its really annoying you can't get rid of that bar at the top, but I am running a 2500k you should be fine depending on your gfx card.
They said they were having issues and were going to give an update tomorrow. I was at :05 minute preorder and received it today, it sounded like there was a lot of processing going on over the weekend.
Woah just saw all the emails with the new estimated ship dates. I don't understand how they didn't have enough supply for the launch.

Yeah, you might want to hold off making any decision now, based on how HTC shipments are going.

When I pre-ordered it, I was told late March (though it was pushed to April with my order time).
Now, my order is showing the middle of May?

Here we go, posting this from my Rift within VirtualDesktop.
Spent two hours in the rift, tried Henry, Lucky's Tale, Chronos, Dreamdeck.
I had the DK2 previously, the halo effect is pretty bad, it was really surprising since DK2 didn't seem to have this at all.
I was also having a constant juddering every 20 seconds or so. It was really bothering me, I tried to search for it, turns out f.lux is the cause for this. I just uninstalled it and voila. No more issues.
Other than this it's an amazing piece of tech. Some demos are really impressive. Chronos was freaking me out and I haven't encountered any enemy yet. Lucky's Tale is delightful and fun. Can't wait to go back into it. Can't wait to get my hands on the touch controller too.
Really excited about all that is to come. See you guys later, I'm going back!

Sorry to all of my Rift brothers who have been delayed. I should have mine tomorrow! Thursday and Friday [my normal days off], I'm gonna just not be available to the real world.
