Free Rift is about the best news of the new year so far. Well this is certainly nicer on my wallet...
So dk1 and dk 2 were not custom built? I understand it better but everything was there besides the headphones. Economies of scale should decrease the price.
Will pre-orders only be on oculus.com? Or will pre-orders be up elsewhere like BestBuy?
I'm not sure I understand the argument. Companies announce preorders at the same time as price all the time for products that release very soon after. Phones are a pretty good example of this.
It is shit for high demand products no matter who does it.

That's really what I want to know too
That doesn't make sense. Why does it matter? Preorders open, you look at the price and decide to click the button or not.
My guess based on DK1 and DK2 price point is $500. I'm very happy to be a kickstarter backer though, since now I don't really need to care beyond wanting to see it widely adopted for the sake of strong support. I knew buying the DK1 was a gamble.
When Doom 3 being bundled fell through... I wondered. Looks like us backers won though now.
My PC is already well specced. I have a great racing wheel in the g27. I guess I should buy a flight stick now maybe...
Manipulating human psychology for profit isn't something I like.
Manipulating human psychology for profit isn't something I like. It makes me feel like I'm a cow in a herd. Moreover, that is the whole point of companies like Facebook that compile data on human behaviour and then sell it to other companies so they can sell stuff. It's gross and as AI takes off it becomes scary. It might not make sense, but that's the way it makes me feel.
Hopefully with Facebook behind it there won't be the problems the DK2 page had when they opened those pre orders. That was a difficult ordering experience.At least the kickstarter pledgers won't be DDoSing the store page when it opens, lol.
It doesn't make sense. Even if we just accept your theory of psychological manipulation, do you refuse to buy any product that advertises? Ads are very blatantly for-profit manipulation. The Facebook stuff is just weird paranoia.
I think we're wasting our breath on somebody that is beyond rational analysis of this situation.
Appealing to rational thought is manipulative and I don't appreciate it!!!

The store site is hosted on Facebook servers, so probably no worries there.
I didn't realize they skipped the case on the DK2. Nice to see it's back, my first few weeks with the DK1 I was taking it everywhere I went to demo it.
We don't actually know if they're shipping the case with your Rift purchase, only that a case will be available at some point.
It seems obvious based on the wording.
"People really loved the carrying case we included with DK1 and skipped for DK2, so good news: It is coming back, and doper than ever!"

It does seem like it will be included, it's just not explicitly so yet.
We'll find out in about 20 or so hours what's all included with the Rift so at least the wait to see if I misinterpreted what Palmer said won't be long.
Do we know if you'll be able to preorder it on mobile? Not gonna be next to my PC at the time

Bought a DK1 but not through KS
I really think everyone who preorders is going to be in the first shipment, even if they order hours late. This is such a niche product despite the excitement in some communities.
That being said, I'll be there minute 1!
Damn, that's pretty sweet. Kudos, Oculus. <3

I'd bet we hear about the price before midnight tonight (or maybe *at* midnight).So they're going to announce the price about 15 minutes before preorders go live, right? If they haven't said it by now, they must be waiting until the final possible moment. I'm not 100% certain what that ultimately means, but I'm not a fan.
