Occulus Rift S unavailable

finally upgraded my computer to be able to run Virtual Reality. went to buy the Rift S, Sold out! went to multiple web sites, Sold out!! Amazon has it priced at over $200 above the regular price. Thieves!! taking advantage of the sort supply. Illegal price gouging, the nerve! I found out that the problem is shipping from china due to the coronavirus. Oh boy!! now what!!

Now what? Just wait until it's bread and milk, not just the Rift S! .... and that's speaking as a now retired medico! Fly safe while you can. o7
 
Well, that and Half-Life: Alyx. A lot of people are trying to get VR in time for that coming out at the end of the month; things should calm down a bit once we get past that launch.
 
Try Amazon for masks!
The first image is Amazon, today. Screwfix aren't cashing in though, it appears.

Its funny, over on Dangerous Discussions there is a thread where people are predicting the end of VR in elite...
 
...or even just seen the scanner in true 3 dimensions where those coloured dots denoting ships / cargo canisters etc are actually above and below the plane of the scanner. Or felt the proper sense of scale and awe when taking a ship in and out of a hangar and you see there is like 30m of deckspace between the surface landing pad and the hangar ceiling. Or got up close and personal with a thargoid scavenger, or or or....

Latest one is "just dont do space legs for VR" - sure pal, I'm gonna take off my headset and switch my graphics settings around every time I want to get out of the pilots seat... :rolleyes:myopic morons.
 
The Odyssey+ was on offer again recently for around $300. I bought one for around that and got it shipped to the UK last time a similar offer was on. I can highly recommend the Odyssey+, the only things that let it down in my opinion are the controllers (but for E: D that isn't an issue, and you can usually find a reasonable compromise for other games).

And I've got a couple of boxes of masks (got them when I was sanding down walls). Maybe I should sell them on Ebay while the price is up? :)
