ED and the Oculus Rift Developers Kit 2 (DK2) Discussion Thread

grats mate!

I messed up...... I was there hovering over the buy button within mins of it going live, however I hesitated and decided to green light it with the boss (aka wife) 1st.

a mistake for sure, but its not all bad......

If I am in batch 2 (which I would expect to be honest) it should not be too long to go now, as 10k were meant to be out of the factory by the end of july, and batch 1 is only 5K. Also the week delay of batch 1 apparently has no bearing on the progress of batch 2.

so by the time mine comes, a number of apps and games should have been updated to have full DK2 support. I am not a dev, so truth is it is probably more important that people who actually have VR software to update get theirs.

Yep, exact same here. Had to bounce it off the missus first, and since she ploped £200 up for it (my birthday prezzie) it made sense to wait till she green-lit it.
 
Yes Mad Mike. I swithered too long before I ordered one, but it is good for developers and those people who were so sure of the purchase they hit the order button on a base-of-the-spine reflex action. I'm happy for them. Honest.

At least there's now a good chance DK2s will be at Fantasticon <sigh>

Nah, got my email too :cool: :D:D:D
 
I wonder numbers wise how close I got?

I bet knowing my luck just as my name came up, the last DK2 came out of the box, and some half asleep packer dropped it and broke it....

(either that or nicked it for themselves ;) )
 
Wow

TJ is only no 11 on the list. Could be a long wait for those of us in the relegation battle (though I view my 33rd place as mid table!

I dunno. I expect that there was a definite peak as orders placed in the first 6 hours, that then fell of quite dramatically as time went on. They say they got 16k orders in the first 24 hours, and I bet the bulk of that was in the first 6 hours.

Status:processing:Your order has been checked out for shipping and will be shipped in the next batch. We'll send you a notification once it's shipped.

So, just waiting for it to change to shipped and get a tracking number. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow as it's being delivered to my work address.
 
Boooo!
Paypal or CC?
I was 9.35. with CC payment, and I'm still pending :(
(cash is in the bank so no chance of bounced transaction)

Right, off to eat some Upsetteos and milk

I was CC first and changed to fully paid Paypal a week or so ago because I wasn't sure if the CC expired.

Trying not to dig into cheese and whine
 
Question guys,

I have been itching to place an order on DK2, but I'm unsure of the timeline/roadmap for the full release. So question is what's the current estimate for releasing the Consumer Version, as an impending upgrade of CPU/GPU etc. may precipitate a DK2 order.

Cheers
