It's now been 10 days since Oculus sent the "Your Oculus Rift order is Shipping soon" e-mail and like many others I have not received anything further. The website shows my ship window has not changed and is still a month away. I could order a Vive from PCWorld now, be using it tomorrow, and had been tempted to do just that until that e-mail on the 11th. Was it simply propaganda from Oculus to stop us from cancelling orders and jumping ship or are we likely to see the order processed "soon" as the e-mail said?
If I sent an e-mail to one of my customers that said "You will be receiving your shipment soon", do you think they would assume 3-4 weeks? I don't think so. They would wait a few days and then be complaining about the delivery. Although to be fair a £20M unified communications solution is a bit different to a Rift but ..... By using the word "soon" they have implied shipping processing was just a few days away in most "normal" peoples definition of the word.
