Parcelforce are delivering my Rift today. Do I just skip the Xbox pad setup and go right to touch or is it needed. Already have a Xbox elite pad and wireless dongle installed on the pc.
Oculus Rift
- Thread starter Kosmiche
- Start date
Skip the XBox controller and the Oculus remote.

So for anyone from the UK that ordered within the last few days from Oculus, It looks like shipping will commence in or around the 31st of this month.
I'll second this, whilst the Gear VR allows you to simply look around only, the addition of full positional tracking of the headset and hands with the Rift puts the system in a whole different league to the phone based headsets. I've got both (a gen 1 Gear VR for my S7 and a rift). I very much doubt the Gear VR will ever come out of the box again.
As per quote above, Robo Recall is an excellent game!

I love reading first time user impressions
You thought those were good, Wait until you try Robo Recall!! Your mind will explode!!
And I know you might not like Table Tennis, but, get Eleven Table Tennis. It's the most "real" thing that I have done in VR.
I had two problems with serving, the first was I hadn't adjusted the bat properly. Spend some time with this and get it right. Get it as near as possible to how an actual bat would feel in your hand.
My second problem was mental
I wasn't serving like it was a real bat and ball. Once I stopped thinking about it as VR and started treating it like a real table tennis my serve improved. If you ever want a game sometime add me as friends on Steam.
I seem to be faulting on the serve every time, tried bouncing before i hit it, tried hitting it my side first, probably should just look up the rules of it 
mr_cookie73 hopefully it wont be like a game of squash i had with a chap on another forum, found out after he played for england

Welcome to the vr club. Project cars is blurry until you up the supersampling I run it at 2.6 sharpens up the image a lot.

Upping the sampling is night and day. I reinstalled steam VR last week and was defaulted to 0 after playing on 1.5 for nearly a year, it looked awful
.
Id still say Assetto has it in visual terms over PC though, if that's your angle. For racket games, id highly recommend you try Racket NX, and keep an eye on High Clear VR (badminton), to see if it develops in to something more than just an exhibition match up. High Clear plays great, but isn't worth it's price yet.

I figured out most of the the rules due to many, many lost matches. By now I'd like to win at least one match against this amateur AI.

ORDER NOW
Just curious but will ALL orders be honored by OCUK or would people be getting orders cancelled ? I only ask as I've seen a few people on the Oculus forums get their orders cancelled for no obvious reason, My guess is because Oculus underestimated the sale.

Oculus have always been really aggressive when it comes to fraud prevention, to the detriment of honest potential customers sometimes. People have had orders cancelled in the past because they tried giving their work address to get it shipped to, but because that obviously wouldn't match with their personal card details, order cancelled. Reorder to their home address, and everything was ok.
At least two people have followed up posts though on r/oculus saying it was actually their bank thinking it was a potential fraud, so they had to clear that up with the bank itself.
