Oculus Rift Is Disappearing From Stores, Suggesting Update Imminent – Variety

I think Oculus is just in high demand as it's more popular now. I have no reason to get either a GO nor an S. I would only be looking at a CV2.

Maybe.

  • Amazon was restocked yesterday, sold out, then back in stock today
  • Best Buy got restocked yesterday, now sold out again today.
  • Newegg still sold out
  • Microsoft store sold out.

Looks like even if a store gets restocked, it's in small quantities.  Looks like CV1 is getting scarce.

Exactly I think they are selling small amounts at a time so there will be some in  stock  until the update.  Older Rift manufacturer is over.

So is this why they put this in the release update........

Performance Improvements: Miscellaneous graphics updates for improved performance with medium and low settings across devices.

How many "devices" use this software? Rift and ?

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

oculus quest was announced 9 months ago... so rift s could be out next year or late 2019

Except Rift-S isn't a new product line, it's just a refresh of an existing product (it's not even Rift-2).  People already know what a Rift is:  "it's that VR headset that requires an expensive computer"

While we're waiting for an announcement, how about some guesses as to when it arrives.
I'm going to say it'll have an announcement soon and launch alongside or very soon after Quest. Erm, so I think that's late spring... end of April beginning of May.

I'm saying they'll give the Quest as much time as possible to make sales before releasing the Rift S (if it exists) in time for Christmas.

And it will be the first Oculus headset that is not mono-colour. I'm thinking Black (like the original Rift) with Grey markings.
