I recall on twitter some uk rep mentioning it would be acouple of weeks before it goes on sale in the UK

pretty frustrating the complete lack of knowledge the UK HP team have on this unit..

saw this someone posted on iracing forums just now:

already posted 2 posts above...clearly something wrong with your optics :D:D

Oops , didn't noticed the link! :D

I guess the Rift S also seems like a bit of a disappointment (given that other than the inside-out tracking they haven't really improved much over the previous model) but I think it would still be my choice of PCVR headset if I were to buy one now.

Don't underestimate how much clearer the Rift-S is due to the RGB Stripe LCD layout.

Apparently the Reverb has pretty bad mura in dark scenes. I'd wait for the reviews before ordering. It seems like all these new headsets are compromised in some way or another - you just have to pick the mix of features which bests supports your use-case.

Really nice review that. I'm still undecided between this and Index. Are WMR controllers really all that bad to use?
