They did say it would BEGIN shipping on April 5th. I think they're giving themselves enough time to try orders once or twice before having to cancel.

Happened to a friend in Canada with a VISA card, so I'm not sure exactly what's triggering the issue.Are the fraud warnings coming from people using debit cards?
That amount doesn't seem like a big deal for credit cards, so I would not have expected to have an issue.

I was on the submit order page, and then I just stared at the total price and thought fuck that's a lot of money.

Bank just blocked my Vive payment. Though at least that means money is being taken for UK orders.
I have a Rift on preorder but I was late and I probably wont be able to get mine till June or so. A buddy of mine has the Vive and he thinks he will be charged any day now for his. He is having some financial trouble and said that if I wanted to buy his Vive off of him, he would not charge me more than what he paid. In short, he will have the Vive charged to his card and when the bill comes in I will pay it and he will give me the Vive.
However, I have not followed the Vive as much as I have the Rift. So I hope some of you that have been following it a lot more than me can answer some stuff:
I have the physical room to set the Vive up, but I am more of a sit down kind of gamer. As with other tech that had you up and about the novelty of moving around while playing a long game or such wore thin. How is the Vive and the some of the better games for a seated experience versus up and about? Is it designed to primarily be a up and about experience?
I appreciate any feedback as my time frame to give this a yes/no is probably in the next 48 hours or so.
Thanks!
Dang hope you cleared that up for when they try again.
Couldn't hold out any longer, got May (probably end of) shipping date.
Gonna try to use some spare boom mic stands i have with tripod mount adapters for the lighthouses.
Tested the height with an item of similar weight and they seem steady. Maybe an option for some out there who can't or don't want to damage their walls.
If they have them already yes but I think the support rods and pipe grips work best.

I think I'm gonna start with 3M tapes before considering a mounting solution. These support rods would seriously ruin my living room aesthetic. And I don't have space in any corner for a tripod setup... Sigh.
Best of luck man. I really hope it lasts and doesn't fall. Be sure to keep pillows under them just in case.
Should be receiving a Vive as part of wave 1 next week. I bought myself a couple of telescopic supporters with attachable mounts for my Lighthouse units. Seems like a popular solution:

The problem with command tape isn't so much the weight but that the Lighthouse units vibrate, and will likely cause them to loosen over time.
Well the command tape is rated to hold several kilos (depending which you get) so it should be ok - how heavy are the lighthouses?
Do the retail kits still come with shelf stands? The official vive setup video only showed wall mounts
I also got one today (showing the inside of the package), but it is the only one, i got yet. I guess, mine will still arrive in May.Woke up to another processing e-mail from HTC, this time in German. I guess it's not again the general one going out for everybody no matter what wave? Maybe shipping is indeed happening today. I can feel the emotion already.
Not sure if this has been posted, but here's Minecraft on the Vive - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY4eQvRtKIk
Minecraft on the DK2 was an impressive, if nauseating experience. This looks to be the ideal way to play it.

i will check your order
Me:
Thank you
Patryk:10:50 AM

Me:
I'm within the first wave, though, right?
Me:
because I ordered within a minute of pre-orders going live.
Patryk:10:50 AM
but if you do not got info from your bank, it is ok
Patryk:10:51 AM
money could be withdrawn even on the day of shipment
Me:
OK, can you please confirm when it'll ship?
Patryk:10:51 AM
yes, you are in the first wave
Patryk:10:51 AM
shipment begins April 5th
Me:
oh, I thought it was confirmed that the first batch would be out for delivery on 5th?
Me:
Are you able to confirm this just so I know exactly what the situation is?
Patryk:10:54 AM

Patryk:10:54 AM
you will receive your device couple days after
Me:
OK - what courier will be used?
Patryk:10:55 AM
dhl
Me:
Great - thanks for the information.
That Minecraft mod looks good. In the end it seems that teleporting is the most efficient locomotion method for traditional games.
Works for single player games. Unfortunately I think most multiplayer games will be seated affairs.
