How much is a refurbished CV1 headset GOING FOR at Oculus?

Wildt

During the end of the warranty period on my CV1, I RMA'ed it because of the well  known audio strap issue. I got a refurbished replacement, which now has a broken IPD sensor.
Warranty has expired, but the good folk at Oculus are offering me to buy a refurbished headset with 6 months of warranty. No controllers or sensors - just the HMD.

How many Euros do you guys think they're charging for it?

As part of an RMA, right? They keep your broken Rift in the process?

EDIT: @klodsbrik it's not the mechanical slider that's broken - it's the sensor that tells the software what position it's in. The software needs this to setup correct viewports for the rendering. If the value is off, the world scale seems off - especially things close to your eyes.


Oh, broken sensor .. I can do shitload of cool stuff with my hands. Don't think thats one of them.
 And if your kid can stil have fun with it, hell, spend time educating her with vr while you figure out what upgrade you need ! Heart

They send you a "personalized" link to a store item.

Well, I was hoping for them to offer repairs, or perhaps a HMD swap + cash, but nopes. Just a stupidly expensive refurbished headset with just 6 months warranty. But it DOES include a new cable!

Surprised they aren't just giving them away in these situations now that they are being "phased out"

Love elgiganten. They always give me great support. But my backlog of purchases might be why.

Divine forces are trying to tell you to get the Rift-S and leave the Rift for your daughter - but you probably have already considered that option.
