Friendly comment: Would not be a beatiful gesture for those who have been wating more than two weeks buying a product (and still waiting) giving some present to them?. Obviously, I do not want it sounds like command (nothing farest than I want meaning). It would be a good detail in this situation.

There are several amazing free games Oculus has made available to everyone who buys a rift. Free quality software is the most beautiful gesture of all when you're a gamer.

I pre-ordered in the first 20 minutes on January 6th, was expecting delivery around the end of March, and received the Rift late May. And I paid $849 CDN for the Rift, plus another $279 for Touch at the end of the year. Where's my free handout?!Oh yeah, I have a huge collection of awesome VR games, many of which were free. Never mind, I'm happy with my lot. Carry on. :)

Atmos73 said: No company drops the price of its one and only product unless they want to have a dramatic uptake in sales and the only motive Oculus can have for that is because price is the only weapon the Rift has over the Vive apart from a slight optical advantage on bigger sweet spot.So this week you are incessantly arguing that the price drop is the result of trying to compete... yet just a few short weeks ago you argued something completely different in regards to this Rift price drop:"Facebooks business model when it comes to VR is more a mess now than it's ever been but people here see there village burning and cheer because their house is creating the highest flame."https://forums.oculus.com/community/discussion/comment/534089/#Comment_534089You have two contradictory arguments over the same exact issue. On one hand you say that FB/Oculus is just trying to get as much cash as possible before it goes up in flames, so its slashing prices. On the other hand, you say that the Rift's only weapon as they move forward competitively in a thriving market is "Price."Either the village is burning or it's not; it can't be both. Either you're planning to move forward or you are abandoning ship. Only you would convince yourself that forward and backward are the same thing.The fact is that neither of your imploding arguments have an ounce of truth to them. You're just desperate (per usual) to find any argument that suits your HTC bias. Consistency and accuracy have never been a concern for you. Your goals is never to make sense, your goal is just to use the forum to validate your terrible Vivarian decision ;)

Ya the free stuff that is in the store right now is very good. Ill name a couple of stuff you need to try for free.

#1 Echo Arena
#2 Robo recall
#3 any of the over 15 free entertainment videos (some interactive) such as disney VR experience, angelicas story (sp), Diggers ww1, and many other cool stuff.
#4 Luckys tale
#5 Toy box
#6 Rec room <pretty cool social VR

and there are many many others.

The value is great right now and to be honest i want to buy games like lone echo or mages tale but im still going through many awesome free experiences two weeks after owning a rift! Enjoy!

I think the waiting isn't really the bad part. What's bad is when you order, you read 2/3 businness day and then you wait for ages without official statements. I've never been a forum person but I didn't followed them I wouldn't have known of the delays, and the response tickets mean everything and nothing since they are so vague that you can't even understand if an order placed on the 15TH (like in my case) is to be considered a new order (so from mid august forward) or not. Lack of communication is the bad part here, anybody could deal with the waiting, but in this period with so many people going on vacation maybe for a week or two and maybe not being present at the house could help considering another option for delivery or another time.

Don't like waiting for your Rift? You can always cancel your order because the person waiting behind you won't mind getting it a bit earlier.
