Oculus Rift The Thread

[Dr. Pezus]

Yes, Jude Law.

He looks so good

Oh is it shopped?

If enough people pre-order and somehow exhaust all the stock we are building up, later orders will just have a later ship date.

Crazy, to compare what he was expecting vs what happened 2 days later.  

[Legend]

It is time.

Anything?

[the-pi-guy]

Anything?

Shipped the first Oculus Rift:

Oculus Home starts up today.  
More units are getting shipped.  

Do you call that anything?

@colto1000 @pittsburghjoe2 Palmer really wanted to let me play early but there's all kind of legal snaggles. So, Monday it is!

This is kinda weird.

"Rift is launching Monday morning Pacific Time. Check back soon for a link to the Oculus software installer."

lol

Very disappointing. @Oculus is treating games from sources like Steam and Epic Games as second-class citizens. https://t.co/8rFhkECXnR

Kind of think it's an overreaction.  It at least lets you change the setting.

I hope Elite gets a large uptick in users/popularity by being the only AAA game at launch.

On another note, decided to install all the Oculus software.

Can you make an account yet?

[the-pi-guy]

Can you make an account yet?

Yeah, it's the same account for the preorder/forum/Home.  

Also it lets you install Lucky's Tale right away even without a Rift.

Links to download?

I think I should be able to redeem my GearVR games.

I think I should be able to redeem my GearVR games.

Right now it forces the installation to C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus    (as well as the games  )
So if that's an issue, you should wait.  Otherwise there are ways around that.

Download that, and install the app.

Store, Library, friends list, etc. can be found in app.
