Noticed that the majority of whiners regarding price and PC requirements left the forums. While I understand the sticker shock I don't see how people could complain about the PC requirements. Oculus released requirements months ago and I've used that template to upgrade my computer last November. People had nothing else better to do but complain.

I was always pretty calm too. Like Snowdog above, I was expecting a UK price of £499. Hoping for less, but I'd been anticipating £500 for weeks, so placed my order. I've found the experience so far to be more frustrating than annoying. We're queueing up to pay Oculus a large amount of money and they really could have handled the launch better. Still, hindsight is a great thing!
I'm just hoping we get confirmation fairly soon of when our individual orders are likely to ship...
How so? Samsung and Apple also have this same issue on release day with their servers going down 😉 too many people = long line is all I am going to say ~

No, I don't mean the server outage. That was brief, and pretty much expected TBH.
I'm talking more about the misleading pricing. Oculus knew full well that many people were expecting $350ish as the launch price. They could have nipped that in the bud months ago and not had 1/10 of the backlash they've had now.

Yep, the ED news is a bit worrying... I guess a lot of people are going to be looking even more closely at the Hive release price now.
