Interested after hearing a few people over the past 4 years say things like "hurry up and release before it's too late".

Wow, we are an aged bunch! 
I'm 47 this week! had my rift since last september and loving it.

I too feel like I did at the beginning when I got my spectrum 48K! and started my love of computer gaming!

I went through the stages of Spectrum 48k, BBC Micro, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200, PC 286, PC 386, PC 486, Pentium, Core I7, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, 3Box 360, XBox One! 

When I look back, I've spent a small fortune!!
Now I only really use the Rift at any and every opportunity.  Did 4 hours in "In Death" last night!!

"Behind every mask there is a face, and behind that a story...."

I wonder if cost has something to do with it?

Also, awareness that VR is a thing, i know there might be the odd advert out there now but to really read about it you have to read in depth articles, or watch 30+ minute videos from Tested to know that it isn't perfect and you have to do a little work to get it up and running successfully.  18 year olds don't do that.

I'm 53 in 2 weeks and I'm pretty sure my 4 year old and 1 year old make me feel as old as fuck  😄

Cheers!  I'm 73 years youngish. Yeah, Dragon32 was my first too.  I remember being well cheesed off 'cos my mate had the 64K version. I upgraded to AtariXL and taught myself machine code programming, then switched to an Atari ST with a hard drive! If you wanted a decent game you had to code it yourself back in the day.   😄
