Damn, next holiday is Labor day, october 24th.  Anyone else have a more convenient holiday?  Something in the next couple weeks?

The official announcement said "H2 2016", so we'd have to wait till At least July 1... but the release of the Rift was announced as "Q1 2016", and the launch was on March 31
My guess is that it's more likely to be THE holidays, as in Christmas.

Not sure what made you think to expect or be disappointed by preorders tomorrow nor have I read anywhere else about a Touch delay, in fact after all the Touch games announced it seems right on track for a H2 release, which would probably mean a end of summer/early fall preorder start.

June 1st would be the start of H2, so 2 weeks ago.

Last time I checked, a year is 12 months. H2 means 2nd half, meaning 6 months would have to pass before we enter the second half of the year... at June 1 only 5 months have passed.

Correct me if I'm wrong by all means, but "do the math" first!

EDIT: added link to support explanation.

Nope. I hope it's something reasonable.

Also note: if you pre-order the headset you are already in the que for the controllers.

I wonder how they will deal with the bundle computers + headset.

I would think re price that it's going to have to be at most 250-300 Euro mark.

Otherwise people will not be paying £500 for HMD and much more than £200 - 250 for the controllers when you can get a vive cheaper.
