The minimum expectation, in the world of manufacturing devices for the public, is that a newer than CV1 model will not appear for approximately 18 months.

That is the usual design cycle and what the public will accept, as minimums go. Ie, sooner than that, is not feasible and generally not considered acceptable by the public.

That the worst case scenario, as electronics business projections go.....is that your purchase has a minimum of an 18 month lifespan before a replacement (CV2, CV1.2, etc) arrives on the scene (from the same given company).

Considering the unique position that the CV1 occupies and how Oculus is going to (to a given certain extent) slip into organized and streamlined preexisting marketing systems (gaming cycles, for example).... I'd almost project a replacement CV1.1 or CV2, whatever, in November 2017.

More info needed Cyber please. It would be a shame to get the hopes up for those outside of the US only to have them dashed come Wednesday when the pre-order page says NA shipping only at this time.

Does anybody know, that, if I pre-order, will they take the money out of my account instantly, or when they ship the unit?
