Calm down. It's not a conspiracy. Each country has a list of certifications new products must have before sales of the product is allowed. Oculus got the required certifications for 20 countries and they chose to open pre-orders, rather than delaying until every country was covered. It's the same reason why nearly every new electronic product releases in the same staged way.

What certification is this exactly? Safety stuff? Just wondering since they managed to get both DK's shipped to Switzerland, but not this new CV.
The effect is pretty dramatic. Assuming this won't change in a day or two, the difference could mean half a year or even a year delay seeing as we're already in June after a day.

If what you say is true they should never have started the pre order sales before they have the certificate for each country. It worked with the DK1 and DK2 so there is absolutley no excuse for such a move.
I mean they knew where I come from and are even sending me this damn pre order email to tease me.
Right now it looks like that I can get my hands on a Rift in Q4 if I'm lucky.

What an argument.
I'm sure we can pre-order BEFORE the first Rift will ship, so your argument is invalid.

I still found not a single statement of Oculus that thats what you're saying is true, so your statements are theory too.
