Oculus Rift

I really don't get it. On Friday I got the following email:

Hi Andrew,

Your order has been processed and your Rift is almost on its way! Look for a shipping confirmation email with tracking information soon.

Please keep this email handy for reference. If you have any questions or concerns about your order, please contact Oculus Support.

Then today I get the late May estimate. So has it been processed or not?
 
Shifted to early July, so a 3 month wait. Should be long enough to decide based on user reviews if I want to keep the pre-order or not. My cheap Chinese android based headset is due to arrive early June now (was this month) which might be enough for my VR fix.

Why not get a USB 3 card for it? My rig is nearly 5 years old (overclocked 2500k) but with a 980ti in it and a good PCI-E USB3 card and it runs the Vive perfectly.
 
I see I've actually been charged by Oculus on the 8th but no tracking details and a late may delivery estimate. This is getting stupid now.
 
Trying to decide if I want to keep it or not... got a Vive coming at some point (christ knows when HTC will sort that out though), but tempted considering the prices on eBay for the Rifts... a quick £300/400 profit would take the edge of the price of the Vive!

I agree it's tempting as only 2 of the 7 listed atm are in-hand, it would have to be direct though (that sites fees!!) and postage, all to much.
Plus I haven't used any VR headset yet so until I do that I'm holding off.

yeah i actually bought one, causes my computer to BSOD. I have a 3570K with a z77 motherboard. My DK2 suddenly stopped working a couple of months back and I am having all sorts of issues with the USB3 ports, in that they dont work unless you plug everything in the right way and sacrifice a goat. I just dont have the confidence to plug my brand spanking new hard to replace CV1 in - which has just arrived!

No logic behind how they decide who gets it when >.<... site kept crashing when I ordered mine.. finally got through 20 mins after launch.. no confirmation email so reordered hours later when I got home.. Took a while for them to sort everything out.

Glad to have a date range though
 
Finally received my rift yesterday, had a quick setup and play with it on a old shoddy gtx670 card, at the beginning you get framerate issues on the demos i tried, but it adjusts after 30secs-1min and then is smooth!

Anyway i should be getting my gtx970 soon anyway.

I have a Vive on preorder aswell, looking forward to that more cause of the controllers. People have talked about the ebay prices here, haven't had a look yet but what are they going at? :D Might be tempted to sell mine and wait for the Hive :D

Ive seen them go for about a grand currently, give or take. Minus 100 quid for ebay charges, then 30 odd quid to paypal, and youre looking at around £370 profit, which is not too shabby.

I thought about it for a while, but then i figure i'll sell this CV1 on for 300 odd quid in a couple of years and i don't think I could be bothered to wait till what is currently looking like august for another one (plus the chance of chargeback hassles which happened recently), so i'll stick with what I have.
