Literally my top 3 favorite games, with Mage's Tale close in 4th

Can any of you guys comment on what Oculuss return policy like? I dont want to abuse it, but if theres a chance the headset isnt right for me after extended usage, can I simply return it?
Depends on the country perhaps, but here in the UK by law there is a 14-day returns for goods like the Rift, no matter what the reason is (as long as its not user damaged). Amazon are the best if you don't have a law like that in your country.

United States. I could be wrong but I dont think we have a similar policy.
But if we did, definitely sounds like the kind of safeguard our current administration would make sure to get rid of.

Don't quote me on it but I don't think the US Oculus store accepts returns. You might be better off ordering from Amazon or Best Buy.

Gorn is incredibly fun. Over the last couple weeks my buddy and I have split Rick and Morty, Arizona Sunshine, and now Gorn. Definitely gonna get the most leverage outta Gorn, it's perfect for switching off. I'm just afraid my buddy is gonna break the shit out of my TV playing it, haha

So I decided to google around for UK stock of the bundle since it's been almost a fortnight since I ordered from Oculus and they've yet to ship.
Looks like scan.co.uk has the bundle in stock for weekend delivery if any other members of BritGAF are looking for one.

I really love Battlezone. Probably the most in terms of sheer hours I've spent in VR (hard to tell because I was a beta tester too).
Fully featured game for a genre that gets far too few games these days.

As someone who frequents Disneyland, $400 isn't going to get you very far. Might as well blow it on the Oculus.

Yeah, definitely one I will let her try. But we can't really play it with one VR set together XD

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Oculus already said they are pricing it $499 (without xbox controller and remote) after this sales concluded.

I actually use this hub for my rift setup

Works perfectly fine so far.
Unless your problem is a lack of USB 3.0 at all

Everything I'm reading suggests that the USB 3.0 that is on Z77 boards is shit. And I've had a ton of problems with it previously with my keyboard :/
I bought a supported 3.0 card and it still does funky shit with USB switching to 2.0 and stuff.

Oh I know. To make trip I would need to use the entire bonus.
But it doesn't matter because I bought a Rift using interest free credit! YAY! I did it! Now I just need to get an inexpensive video card. I'm embarrassed to say that right now I'm only rocking an ATI Radeon HD 5670. Everything else on my PC is good though. Would an Nvidia 1050 be adequate?

Aim for a GTX 1060 6GB minimum if you can.

Agreed. Unfortunately you just missed the eBay 10% off deals and Jet deals which helped to really cut down on costs. Might be more with back to school stuff. Usually good deals to be had.
I bought a 1080 for $465. Then said na... I really wanted a 1080ti which I got for like $630. But now I need to sell the 1080... Lol

I can sell someone my 980ti if they want.

Seems an acceptable deal if it wasn't for the ridiculously high PC specs/hardware/money required to enjoy this tech in a proper way...
This is the 13,324th time that's been said since this sale started. Most people who are seriously considering high-end VR already have a gaming PC.

Can you not just return it?
I have it on PSVR. I bought it again on Steam lol

Yup, I can feel your pain (Asus Z77). I bought a 3.0 PCI card and although I've been able to get it to work for the most part, I still struggle with errors and issues. I'm considering upgrading my CPU/Motherboard mainly because of it.
A 1050Ti is enough, so... Not sure what you mean.
Im so close to pulling the trigger and ordering from Scan. I know £400 is a steal im just worried I won't get much use out of it from upcoming games.
Need to get used to it but having fun so far while waiting for my touch controllers to arrive.
Only annoying thing is turning it on after hibernation gives me a "Rift HDMI cable isn't plugged in" error every time and none of the fixes I've googled work for me.
Only way I've found to fix it is restart and I don't want to do that every time.

Love the box presentation and how everything is packed so neat and tidy, they make it feel like you are unboxing something quite luxurious hah.
Hot damn this is amazing. If you are on the fence, the experience of using the Touch controllers and playing Robo Recall and catching dozens of bullets with your hands and throwing them back like you were Neo or something is one of the best experiences in games I've ever had. Definitely need enough space that you can stretch your arms out in a circle around you (can play this standing in one spot and lean if you are limited in space). It's so good.
The finger gestures and hand tracking being so close to 1:1 is so magical the first time!
Tried Elite with the Touch controllers, controls need binding as they aren't binded at all by default. Even then, limited number of buttons so will not bother with those for this game.
Noticed the god rays are more pronounced the closer your eyes are to the lenses, so adjusted the side straps to minimise them somewhat. Trickier getting a clearer picture then the Gear VR I have, but once you get the fit just right its fine.
If you are in the UK, cancel Oculus order and go with Scan if they have them in stock. They got me the Rift in less then 24 hours hah!
By the way, setup thinks I am using USB 2 ports for everything, but I have at least one of the sensors in a USB 3. Everything still works!

Is it the new one-box bundle from Scan, without the Xbone controller, wireless dongle and remote?
Really need that hotas setup for Elite but then it is amazing. If you like Robo Recall you are going to love to Super Hot VR. Good to see so many people enjoying their Rifts.
Yes all in one box, I believe no one stocks the older bundle anymore.

eBay deal through Newegg XD. But I'm going to submit a request anyway.

Download and install oculus client, buy some exclusive games (be careful not to purchase the stuffs u will get for free) clear some space to play
Ops just saw that you already received it

Its not that ridiculously high actually, they are not asking for a 1080ti with 16gb RAM. Most mid end PC is just one graphic card (to a $170 1050ti) upgrade away to meeting the requirement.

Are you trying to say that GeForce 960/1050Ti and Intel i3-6100/AMD FX4350 is "ridiculously high PC specs"? Well, that's ridiculous.
