Vive preorders start February 29th

[Skaldy]

Spread the word that it starts on the 30th February, then I'll definitely be able to get an April delivery on the 29th.

I'll be preordering- I've preordered the Rift too, but I love VR that much I'm not missing out on any exclusives and having to then get to the back of the queue. And because I love playing ED in VR, especially since Frontier have removed Oculus from their ED main page in favour of HTC Vive with no indication that an Oculus solution is in the pipeline.

I'll keep my DK2 just in case too- if I have enough free HDMI ports...

Okay can we get a statement that this will be supported on day one or we already have? Count me in if plug and play tired of constant fixes.

If this is true, oculus may be the front runner.

My bet is $949.99 before tax.

£1,150 UK.

Sounds to me that there's some briefing going on. Everyone hears that it's going to be north of £1000 ... so when it comes out at ONLY £800 .. everyone jumps for joy.
