Hi guys,
I just received the mail about the priority place to pre-order Touch. (supper happy to finally see it comming!

)
I have a question, probably only
@cybereality can help but since I may not be the only one in that case, I found it usefull to ask here.
I have pre-ordered my rift 1st day with an email address. I recently changed the e-mail address attached to my Oculus ID via the Oculus App.
To get my priority pre-order in do I need to use the
old email address (that is
not my oculus account anymore since I use a new one), or the
current one attached to my Oculus account.
I got the mail about it in the
new email address. That's why I'm asking. If your system has correctly updated my account settings, you should be able to retreive my january pre-order status without any problem.
(I hope my question make sense ^^")
The only Oculus site that I can still log in with the old email is the support, where you submit and respond to tickets
I still have the other email, and I could just put it back as my Oculus account email, and pre-order this way, if it simplify everything
(I
really really want this to go as smoothly as possible!)

You should see my aim in DCS World, it's no better.
No problems I've done the same thing before, Never played DCS world I'm more a ww1 flight sim person
Should i worry?
apparently guest orders can be accessed via another route.
Either way, i suspect that you will still be able to pre-order one and it might then not be a bad idea to contact Oculus to make sure that your place in line is still there.
"You must complete your Touch pre-order before 11:59pm PT on Thursday, October 27 2016—after that date, you'll no longer be eligible for priority status "
So we have until October 27. Does that mean people who pre-order Oct. 10 have priority over those who pre-order Oct 27? If I have any problems ordering tomorrow I don't want to get pushed to the back of the queue while I sort it out with Oculus.
The old email address is hosted on a home server that I'm planning to get rid of on the near future
(I made this stupid choice 5 years ago because I like to mess with linux, and I'm dumb. now, I'm sick of administrating postfix, sick of my shitty internet going down, and the sever is a 10 years old laptop with a 10 years old hard drive. I had 3 hard drive dying this year, I'm paranoid now. I have backups but putting the server back online will take time, and I don't want to miss any emails)
This is why I changed the email address of all my online account, including the oculus one, to the new one.
I made my Rift pre-order with my account, not as a gest with just an email, and my rift appears on my profile page (well, 2 rift actually, I had to RAM the first one because it was disconnecting the HDMI all the time and overheating.) and oculus sent the email to the new one.
The thing that is reassuring, is that we have 17 days to have this done. So I'm planning to, as always refresh the page like crazy and get the pre-order with my account and current email, and confirm with the support that everything is good. (if not, 17 days are enough to fix it).
I seriously hope that Oculus made everything in their power for having the maximum of people with Touch either shipped or arriving on December 6th. This will make this holiday season so awesome.
I think, like a lot of people, each time I play with the rift I want my hands tracked. At my engineering schools we have a Vive, the increased tracking area and the hand controllers are awesome.
Also, not related but, the pre-order day is just for touch, we have to wait December 6 to order a 3rd sensor, right?

The only people jockeying for position tomorrow are the people without the Rift pre-order priority, but they won't get a spot in line ahead of any of us with Rift pre-order priority.
In the end, it may not matter a great deal--by December they may have enough Touch stock to ship all pre-orders right away.

Plus I feel it would really make up for all of the waiting we had to do. I know, I know, keep dreaming.....
But I don't know if it is that we will be pushed in front of the queue or if we have the "same place" in front of the queue has we put the our Rift orders...

Palmer tweeted this at the time: "Good news, everyone: When you preorder Rift, you also reserve your spot for Touch preorders. First in line for Rift=First in line for Touch."

OK, so i'm no wordsmith, but we do all appear to be guessing at the moment.
Only Oculus could come up with this idea if its even a reality?? which i doubt..
Congratulations: your prior Rift preorder qualifies you to have a preferred place-in-line for your Touch preorder!
Estimated shipping dates: Dec 06 - Dec 15

AFAIK I don't think you can mark a thread as answered or close it. Hopefully @cybereality can do that for us because this thread has already derailed and we'll be getting a lot of notifications.
