I got it as well. I switched to the non-giftcard bundle and switched back on the product page and it let me add for $400.
Look up Oculus Rift in search bar, click on the regular Oculus Rift then switch it to the $100 Amazon Gift Card one. Add to cart and voila it should work, just worked for me and got it for $400.

glad more people are able to get this great deal.
Yup got it.
Of course my computer is currently running on a 300w power supply and a 750ti graphics card so I need to think about this now and see how much a computer upgrade is gonna cost me.
Same... showed right up for me. Just delayed shipping.
Am I going to be able to run this on a 650w computer with a 1080ti?
Whoa. Same. I just got my Oculus with touch and a $100 gift card for $399.

Ugh now that I got one I feel like I need to sleep on the decision. I hope Amazon doesn't pull a fast one and ship the GC out tomorrow even though the headset doesn't come until the end of the month. I'm worried I don't have the space for room-scale and even if I can manage, I'll have to throw the sensors and wires all over my bedroom. Also, the glasses thing has me worried since I need glasses for distance.
I tried to cancel just now for the heck of it and you can't. get an error

I did it I pulled the trigger. That $100 put me over the edge. I guess I'll need the third camera?

I highly recommend a third sensor, yeah.

Any Vive owners who are also picking this up?
I currently own a Vive and PSVR. For multi VR system owners, is this worth getting? I'm very tempted by the price, very very tempted, but wondering if it's just redundant as a Vive owner?
For reference I have not tried Re-vive yet. Is it easy to use or a pain in the ass? Also is the head set different/better than Vive in anyways that are tangible enough to warrant the additional purchase?

I'd also like to hear what people think. I was always holding out for the Vive because of the tracking. But my God I just couldn't pass this up.

Got it! The whole setup for $300 is INSANE. Man, being an early adopter hurts.
Yup. Definitely. Oculus went under the assumption that not everyone will have room for roomscale so a lot of the official Oculus games as well 3rd party ones that that into account.
Stuff like the Climb, Star Trek and Wilson's Heart is still really enjoyable even just being in front of your desk.

Pretty much. I have to stop adopting everything so early.
Seriously? Holy fuck. I got lucky as hell.
Had it in my cart but didnt pull the trigger. I invested enough on PSVR to go out and get the rift.
Sorta feel I may a bad call as PSVR while decent cant be a pain in the ass with its shitty tracking and controllers.
Gonna wait for 2.0 models and stay away from Sony's stuff if they dont improve hardware significantly.

I'm expecting Sony to improve their hardware as well, but with PC being as it is I think VR on the top-end will always remain on PC.
I gotta stop early adopting too, but damn, I'm attending Oculus Connect 4 this October and I know, I'll pre-order any new hardware, if any they reveal. lol
The two things that I have never regretted adopting early are the PS Vita and the Switch (though maybe still too early to tell). Though for everything else, I let time be the decider.

It can be redundant in some ways but also better in others. The controllers alone will feel different but better in many ways.
Both headsets have their pros and cons. The Vive offers a slightly larger vertical FOV and less noticable godays. It also has a bit more space for people with glasses. The rift headset comes with built-in headphones which may not seem like a big deal but anyone that uses VR a lot knows what a godsend that is. The rift also has a bit more clarity by sacrificing a bit of that FOV. That may not seem like much but for sims like elite dangerous which has a lot of text it makes a huge difference. I don't know if any of these things warrant the purchase but I see plenty of people with both.

I am so glad I checked this thread in time to get one. I missed out on the deal yesterday cause I thought I had hours to decide and it sold out fast. Did NOT take that chance again lol.
So, now to figure out how to set it all up. My computer is on another room and have it wired through a little hole into this one (since it doubles as my HT and I don't want to hear the fans or have my subwoofer shake anything lose in it lol). It's about 15ft or so.
Anyone have experience in hooking up the rift and extending it?
I googled and found a link that suggested you needed to get a DVI>HDMI to hook up an hdmi extension, but that was from like almost a year ago, is that still the case?

Order from oculus.com is still "processing to be shipped". Probably won't be getting it before the weekend then. Hearing some people have had their orders cancelled as well.
Might have to order it from Amazon.UK or .de instead because of course no Swedish retailer would ever offer a deal like this.

I'm filling out the prescription on one of these. Stupid question, but if Cylinder Right on my optometrist's prescription is listed as sphere, that means 0.0 right?
Also, if Axis right is blank and Axis left is 025, that means just leaving Axis right at 0 and Axis left at 25 right? I've never filled this out on my own so I just wanted to make sure before ordering these. I'll just post it here -

I would call your doctor's office. I've never seen that listed as sphere when they mean 0. They usually just leave a field blank if it doesn't need a correction like the prism stuff.
Cool, I'll do that. Thanks.
