I was wrong.
This morning, I had to grab a few items from my VR Dungeon and I
noticed abrasions on the padding of my Vive deluxe strap. Uh oh. Another
quick trip to Twitter confirmed that I wasn’t the only one who noticed
this.
The fact that NOBODY noticed this, is probably a bad thing. I feel like
if I ripped this padding off (it IS completely replaceable) and tossed
it into a glass of water, it would dissolve surprisingly quick. Not the
best material to stick on a part of the body that loves to sweat.
Pretty funny that the makers of the Gadget of the Year, whose gadget revolves around standing room-scale experiences which does lead to sweat far more than sit-down experiences, didn't test their "deluxe" strap's ability to... get wet 😄

Just an observation, you keep stating that as if it were fact. No one but FB/Oculus knows what profits they might or might not be generating from the current sales of the Rift bundle.

You say what matters is the today. Well as of today Oculus is a 3 billion black hole, Oculus makes nothing from hardware sales, HTC still sell at profit

I wouldn't. Again no one knows but FB/Oculus what their true costs today are.

So unless some one can deliver a more accurate BOM I'll stand by these figures.

Oh sweet Jesus, then no one can say how much the Vive costs or how much money HTC have in the bank or how much HTC will drop the Vive or pretty much anything because unless you work for HTC you don't know.
I have given you the most accurate BOM we have but you're still not happy. Oculus don't make the Rift with fairy dust!

I don't care what their mobile division is doing. If you read my last post I already shown you HTC Vive Corp is a seperate entity.
Atmos73 said:
It's like say ooh look at Sony they're not selling 3D TV's any more their whole Corp must be burning.

I'm glad snowdog agrees with me that Oculus make no profit on the Rift as he's the expert here on the Oculus Forums.
