OZ Devs time to get excited....

Notch up another arrival #052014

I have been checking the status every second day since the move from ready to processing mail arrived last week. No change this morning and no notification email until after the physical delivery.

Any one interested in attending the Brisbane gamming meetup focued on the rift this month, be aware the date has been bumped back a week or so.

Did your rift pass through NZ before coming to Australia?

49xxx arrived Adelaide today. :mrgreen:

First impressions. Resolution is terrible and things far away are obscured by pixel flash. Obvious screen door effect. Blurs a fair bit when turning head.
It didn't blow my mind. I think the experience is on par with what everyone has been saying.

I wanted to get the negatives out of the way early. It is an exceptional device and when you put it on, it does give a 3d image, and that is reinforced by rotational tracking. When I say it is on par with my expectations, it's a good thing. I was aware that I was buying the early prototype with all of the bugs and problems but one very quickly realises that by the end of next year, we're all going to be playing something very special as the high def versions start hitting the markets.

I give the early prototype a 7 out of 10, and I have every faith that the consumer version will easily hit a 10/10.

Note: vestibular sickness... yep. But you just need to be smart about it. One's brain doesn't like two bits of differing information so stay in one place for a while and look around every now and then rather than racing around like a headless chook. I haven't found it something that has limited me yet and I've been in and out over the past couple of hours.

Wow that sucks, I live in Melbourne, all my details on the order page are correct and this is my parcel's tracking. :cry:
I guess I will have to wait and see what happens, perhaps they gave me the wrong tracking number *fingers crossed*
