The ones that went to retail were a from a different allocation. The rifts that went retail are completely separate than the ones going to the people who pre-ordered them. They aren't mixing them. They aren't pulling from one pile and adding them to another. For all intents and purposes, each pile of Rifts have no bearing on each other. When one runs out, or whatever, they aren't going to use the other pile to fix it. They call it a shortage for THAT allocation.
I know this seems horrible for so many people who are waiting, but that's just the way these things work. You allocate x number of stock for each place they're going. Manufacturing for each allocation is a completely separate thing. They don't mix or take from one allocation to add to another allocation unless its from some sort of reserve allocation (like an RMA allocation, or a developers allocation, etc.)
Also you guys have some really wild speculations. "I bet there was a meeting at Oculus where the managers ordered anyone to shut up about this whole launch disaster, or they will be fired."
Really? I swear, everyone is flying off the deep end about this launch. All I've seen is them actually fulfilling their commitments to meet everyone's launch windows...even surpassing them in some instances.

It makes no fucking sense. You shouldn't be able to order the BUNDLE and just cancel the PC portion of the BUNDLE and get your rift before all the people who pre-ordered months in advance. This is not how you treat your customers Oculus.

To be fair, the cheat with the PC bundle is BestBuy's fault, because THEY allow it, not Oculus. So among the things Oculus is guilty of, this isn't one.

You'd think that they would prevent people from doing that, or at least tell best buy to sell it as a bundle only?

Hey guys, be careful. Nobody has breached it yet, but just a reminder that Oculus new ToS gives them the right to pull the plug or interrupt the service (that includes hardware) of anybody breaching their community guidelines.
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure that counts for what is said on these forums as well.

The TOS wouldn't hold up in court and I would certainly take them to small claims court if they stopped me from using hardware and software I paid for.
