Order Status Updates?

Anonymous

Let me start by saying it's awesome that the rift is shipping and even more awesome that Oculus is giving back to the people who first supported them by supporting them first with the "free" rifts.

I'll try to make this short. Is there any expected email beyond the 1-3 weeks update email that went out? I know that pre-orders will be shipping hopefully sometime this week but it's been agonizing holding my breath for any sort of news on my order. I had my order confirmation 1 minute after pre-orders went live and have an order number 613000025XXXXX.

I know people will probably tell me to be patient but I snapped and wrote this post anyway. My gripes with this pre-order has been that there has been virtually no concrete information coming from Oculus in regards to when people can expect their orders. We've gotten vague information about "the first batch" of orders being sent out later this week but apart from the initial time frame on the original order page it's up to people's best guess as to when their particular order will be shipped. Does "the first batch" refer to particular range of order numbers? Has anybody received any additional emails in regards to pre-orders being shipped? I've seen virtually no information for pre-orders.

I guess I'll just keep holding my breath that my order was early enough to be shipped sometime this week but any extra info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Has anyone seen this yet? Someone is selling a signed Kickstarter Rift. Don't know how real it is -probably fake- but mostly really sad.

Looks legit to me.  Those sigs aren't really adding much value imo.  I never considered the fact that many of the Kickstarters may not even have a PC to be able to run the dang thing.  (he mentions this in the listing).  


I actually messaged the seller about this, and it's 100% the full product (all the things) and NOT just the box.

Just checked Ebay again and all the sellers are auctioning with the caveat that they cant agree delivery based on Oculus updates. Anyone would be foolish to bid on those terms for the prices they are charging!

I find that amazing.  Even if they were conservative, they had to know that 100k of these things would sell.  


I do wonder: How many units can they manufacture each day?

If you're a 28er, you could well be waiting until May for your Rift. 


Just in time for SUMMER when I'll be spending most of my outside enjoying the weather, and have very little time to waste wearing an HMD...  I was really hoping to have a Rift to get through the April showers...

Oh well, I guess I can wait until the fall at this point, at which time VR will most likely already be proven a failure :wink:

Anyone get anything new? Shipping or payment confirmations?

I read through this entire thread with the hope that once I was done I would check my email to see the Oculus fairy had visited. No dice. For what it's worth, here's my details:

Checkout: Guest Account
1-3 week e-mail: March 24th, 6:57pm MT
Pre-order confirmed: Less than 1 minute
Order number: 613000024XXXXX

April orders should be getting their 1-3 week email in the next few days I hope.

Aparently some guy who ordered 6 min BEFORE the site went live has his pre-order shipping out. https://np.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4cm88j/rift_order_processed_ordered_at_754_am/d1jf984
