Hi guys, I am UK as well. This damn thing is taking for ever to arrive, it is expected for me in August but i got inpatient and bought the DK2 haha. I am actually surprised to say it better than i thought it would be but very pixelated. Seems u cannot adjust IPD which maybe causing the issue
I'm UK too - Sheffield. Finally got my Rift about 10 days ago and I'm busy optimising my game for it (Dimensional). It's a fantastic headset and worth the wait.
