Oculus Rift Dev kit 2 announced

http://www.oculusvr.com/

i need to listen to a few vids etc but I reckon i will bite at this one.

Most of the problems with the DK1 seem to be fixed. I will only be using for racing games and ED so the not being able to look 180degs behind properly should not be an issue.

the price seems ok at $350. To those who have ordered already, what is the postage costs to the UK, and would it work out cheaper for a few to get together and do a bulk order (I am near cambrdige UK)
 
Well it's 50 bucks to Austria so i'd guess UK is the same or similar.

And yeah, i went for it too. I'll keep using DK1 for fpv flying (way better than any fatshark) :)

$35 Shipping? Damn. I had to pay 55 actually, just rechecked.

And yes i had to pay 20% tax for the dk1 back then. Customs was just a few euros, it's the tax that's killer in Austria

I may be slightly over excited, Just waiting to hear when they expect to ship. :cool:
 
Occulus Rift Dev Kit 2 anyone?

$350 seems ok to me for it? (about £210)

I have held back from getting the dev kit 1, but with this new kit coming out in a couple of weeks is this the time to just get it ready for Beta?

Or wait for full commercial release?

Anybody got any opinions? I'm sorely tempted to put an order in for one.

If you can afford it I'd say go for it! Why wait? :D

Just ordered. Looks like Christmas comes in July this year... :D
 
Can you give reference for it? Haven't followed news, so it has escaped from me.

Seems pricey, but still tempting. However, it will take long time before I will able to justify buying such immersion and...."something that steals me from family" :D
 
Sorely tempted with this... Just always a little cautious buying non commercial products, especially due to being out of date relatively quickly (possibly).

What were people's experiences with Dev Kit 1 in terms of Plug n play? Is it easy to set up or does the Dev Kit experience mean it takes some work to get going with?
 
after a lot of deliberation, I've decided to wait. Really want to get my hands on this, but the final deciding factor for me was there is no upgrade path from Dev kit 1. No trade in allowance, no credits, nothing. This is understandable from their point of view and I'm not complaining... but I don't want to spend the cash now and have to spend it again when the next greatest improvement hits. Again, I want this one badly enough that I've already allocated the funds, I just want to make sure I only have to buy it once, and I think their are some significant improvements yet to happen...
