Odd, I'm the exact opposite. I need glasses to clear things up far away and I don't need them when I use the DK2 (or prefer not to use them for comfort) and I don't notice a difference with or without them for the most part.

DS3 / DS4 already work as Bluetooth controllers for games that support any old controller out of the box. The PSVR isn't going to work for anything on PC out of the box.

im sure. But dont expect to see unit out in the wild anytime soon. Enthusiast product thus is right now,
When they ship. Was confirmed earlier today.

That is odd. I know the lenses are focused at infinity. Perhaps it's just down to the pixels being relatively large.

They don't charge right away. When they ship. Vive is better for its tracking. Optics and lenses a little worse than oculus. Tracking makes up for it.

When shipped in the past for dk versions
They said you'll be charged when it ships.

Yeah, no idea. I have a fairly weak prescription so that may be a factor also.

I am going to spend a lot of money.

I have been waiting to try VR since I was 13.
Take me away from this world.

Alright i'm starting the F5 train
Lets hope they don't charge until shipment and I can update payment info after pre-ordering. I keep my credit cards in my safe at home and forgot to bring a credit card to work to pre-order with and would rather not transfer money out of savings/explain to the wife why XXX dollars vanished right before a big trip we are taking

I think it's safe to say it won't be. It's just a matter of whether or not you think the quality difference is worth the price gap which we don't know enough about yet. But if you want the top of the line, most premium VR experience, the Vive is what you want.
Jumping on with you.

More than $500 will really kill a lot of hype lol . Hope not.
Lenses are focused to infinity, eyes, but the virtual screen appears as if it's a just a few feet away from you. So he is probably not nearsighted enough to need glasses in oder to see the screen clearly.

I disagree with 'tracking makes up for it'. The biggest issue I've had with DK2 has never been tracking, it's been resolution. To each his own though ... I play mostly cockpit games and have done no 'room VR' stuff.
I personally don't really care about room VR right now so optics is #1 for me. With 75hz and the DK2 camera, it's been great. I imagine the CV1 tracking system is even more robust.

They won't charge until shipping, that was announced last night. Keep in mind, though, for all we know it ships tomorrow...
We broke it already?

You don't care about room tracking so there you go. Just get the rift.

Ordered. Holy fuck that price.

No matter what the initial price is, the first batch of Rifts is going to sell like crazy. However if it is above $500 it won't see a huge amount of adoption by more casual gamers unfortunately. I'm still expecting it to drop at $650 based on some of Palmer's tweets, but I would love to see it drop at $500 or lower to let more people experience it as soon as possible.

My only concern with frequent updates is being limited by the device. Take PC where we're used to just turning down settings when we can't pull off the best. My worry is features from gen 2 completely negating gen 1 and so forth since it needs to eventually have some level of standardisation to truly crack the mass market down the line as intended.
Obviously it's going to have to progress fast out the gate but I'd hope it won't be too long until we can safely say 'that headset is good for 4 years or so'

If I wasn't still mad at Steam's response to the account breach I'd probably wait for the Vive, but Oculus has been refreshingly open and consumer friendly to this point that I want to give them my business.

I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the address where it is to somewhere people haven't discovered yet. Facebook is full of web programmers able to do something simple like that really fast.
Best to just go to the base Oculus website.
