HTC Vive

Maybe the clarity is it turns up at everyones house unexpected with no shipping or tracking information... Hah.

Seems it's not just Oculus who can't do a product launch on this scale.
 
No, it doesn't work that way. If you use Paypal, Paypal is the "merchant" as far as the CC company is concerned so they have no obligations to provide protection for lost / fraudulent / missing goods. The obligation sits with Paypal, who have no legal requirements to do anything.

Yeah I just did some further reading. I think I'd been looking at US protection, rather than UK Section 75, so my mistake.

Haha would be nice although as far as I know they haven't actually taken any money yet. Merely put it on hold...so probably not likely unfortunately!!

I'm gonna struggle to cope if it's delayed past this week haha. Seeing all these new games popping up on Steam today is driving me insane!
 
After the 5hrs of back and forth phone calls between HTC on saturday I received 2 confirmation emails this morning, one with the correct info and one with wrong info. No idea why there are 2 orders and which (if any) will have kept the original shipping date, sigh

This has been a complete joke so far
 
Woo, after all the hassle with the cancelled CC order, and replacing it online with the remote access yesterday... just got the order confirmation email that it will be shipping soon! Woo! It's happening!

In the last weeks I have spent £96.31 on VR Titles. The list so far is:

Virtual Desktop
The Brookhaven Experiment,
The GRanCanyon VR Experience,
ADR1FT
Windlands
Jeeboman,
Unseen Diplomacy
Ruckus Ridge,
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.

Need to stop, still going to get the three bundled games as well... but hell, this is going to be an amazing few weeks!
 
Remote access? I'm still in the dark here.

Call up HTC and speak to them if you have been hit by the fraud detection issue. They took my number and got back to me within several hours to sort it out.

Still haven't seen money coming out my credit card but I'm hopeful its about to happen!
 
I've had nothing since my original confirmation e-mail back in February. No order processing e-mail, no payment successful e-mail, nothing!

haha, for the amount you spent you probably could have travelled to the Grand Canyon :p

Interesting titles you picked, can't wait to read your impressions.

Me neither.
I did have a pre-payment on my Amex card since 1st April.
Just checked again and the pre-payment has vanished and it's not in my transactions.
I might be about to join the rejected!
 
My CC still has a pending transaction, phone the CC company up last night to check and it has until tomorrow night to progress to completed or it gets cancelled.

Like you I've had no emails at all since the initial confirmation.

On chat at the moment, seems no one in the UK has had shipping confirmation yet and until we do its at least 1-2 after that before the arrive. So basically no chance of something today.

Yep. Sounds like pending payments are already starting to time out for some people. Bit ridiculous. If they have to authorise payment all over again I expect even more people will have payment block problems
 
I have spoken to HTC support who have confirmed that my payment was successfully received and I am in the first batch. I just have to wait for the shipping confirmation for which there is no ETA.

I know for a fact that it isn't that. I work for a bank doing authorisations. In fact they've had my money since 29th Feb about five minutes after it went on sale.
 
Got my DHL email but no idea of expected ETA? Just says it's currently in progress in CZ...

Really could do with an arrival date so I can plan around work.

Edit - new email - out for delivery tomorrow!
