Oculus Rift S PC VR Headset Set For GDC 2019 Reveal

An email sent to Oculus developers by Facebook suggests ‘Rift S’ will be formally revealed at GDC 2019.

UploadVR confirmed with multiple people the email mentions ‘Rift S’ alongside ‘Oculus Go’ and ‘Oculus Quest’. This suggests we should expect a formal announcement in the near future of the PC-based VR headset succeeding Oculus Rift.


And this all begins THIS MONDAY. Hopefully the rumor-mill will prove true this time.

Also note that Oculus is scheduled to be involved in at least 9 different sessions; you can get the full list of GDC here:

When I want to find "the value of something on EBay"  I just do an advanced search, and look for Completed Listings.

Easy way to see what you can expect to get for it.  Only question left is how much you should start the bid at;  they say starting lower will get you more attention, but would you really want to risk selling your CV1 for a measly $100?  Not like you can get another one at this point, eh?  :wink:
It's hard being the voice of reason when you're surrounded by unreasonable people.

Well I understand what some people are referring to when they think that "going for" is the final price. They are talking about taking in to consideration all Auctions that have ended, and coming up with an average sale price.

Thus,
"How much are Rifts 'going for' on E-bay right now?"

But we were talking about active listings, and the going for price of those listings. Not a historical average. And if we look at Rift CV1 Auctions with less than 2 days before closure, there were several that were "going for " $150 or less.

I have no idea what this thread is about now ...

In the UK we often say "what's this going for" in the present tense, "what did it go for" or "it went for £399" past and "will be going for" future. When referring to Prices of things. "What's the going rate" is also acceptable.

Can we stick to Rift S and VR and not argue about semantics, please?

Seems like Tyriel got Wood too - he seems to enjoy Rift-S (but do notice that headphone problem - again):

I was worrying about the lack of headphones until I realised something. My current Rift has headphones and @vannagirl knows I'm watching VR Porn because I'm wearing my headset with my ker-nob out so having sound tubes instead of headphones won't make much difference.

Are we any closer yet to finding out an actual release date for both Quest and Rift S? They said Spring for both and it's now Spring!! God damn it!!

I'm sat by the window each night, looking at the stars, hoping and praying! Crossing my fingers, I even prayed so hard there was blood coming from my eyes, and everything started to fade and I began to feel this urge to bite something, or someone, I thought I had died and come back a Vampire but then I ate garlic bread and just realised it was indigestion instead.

Then I watched Walking Dead and went to bed and couldn't sleep due the nightmares of Zombies coming towards me with Vive HMD's on their heads, and I was killing each Zombie with furious blows to the head using a baseball bat and shovel, and not just because I wanted to kill Zombies, the zombies were actually pretty harmless as I'd previously removed all their teeth but the main reason I got mad was because they chose Vive HMD's over Rift HMD's and I was like WTF!!! So I swung away and took their prawny little heads clean off!!

Then I got into my car and I reversed over them again, just be sure!  :smiley:

Tomorrow, after 12 o'clock, we will all find out that the Rift S, Vive Cosmos and Valve Index are all April Fools jokes...I thought that Index name was a bit dodgy lol  😄
