7 reasons I had to cancel my Rift order just now

LeeU

Email I just sent Oculus:

1) Today is 122 days since I pre ordered, still no shipping date
2) You started pre orders 20 minutes early, I ordered in first 4 minutes of released pre order date and time so I lost out
3) No date or price for Touch
4) You delayed shipping because of parts you guys claim
5) You are shipping bundles with PC's before pre orders
6) Read on your own web site that people who ordered their Rift 3 hrs after me are getting theirs today
7) Read today you will be selling retail Rifts this week, see No 1 and 2

So either step up to the plate and compensate me more than just shipping or cancel my order and lose a repeat customer for ever.

Plus, Since I have trust issues with Oculus now, I'm afraid that if I do order a Rift you will just gouge me a ridiculous amount for the Touch because with out Touch Rift is incomplete and mostly useless so I would be at your mercy.

For what it's worth, waiting until 12th of May to receive your Rift is still faster than ordering a Vive now. 

Go with your gut, it's your cash.

It sucks that you didn't get your Rift yet and had to cancel. No one can blame you for wanting it as soon as possible. The upside now is that you can order it from a different source (bestbuy, amazon, ebay) or buy an alternative HMD and get it within the week. Don't make your anger keep you from a good experience you've been looking forward to try.

Not to mention I built a 4K plus computer just for the Rift because I knew it would eat my 4 year old Alien alive.

And how much cheaper would that computer have cost if you waited until the Rift arrived to order the parts? 🙂

Not that much less, took a while to build it.

Why did you use a 1100watt psu?  That system should be using less than 600watts even at peak.

was thinking of a 2nd GTX980 latter

just get a vive , its fantastic and you already know the cost of it.


I have a feeling they aren't talking about touch because they want to make money off of it. They are going to price it extremely high at $400 or something

That is indeed a shame, as I'm in Texas. Although since the U.S. was a bluk of the preorders I wonder if we're broken up into different regions as well.

Honestly though chances are your Rift is/was about to be shipped, based on everything I've seen poking up around here. If you're going the Vive route now you might find yourself waiting for even longer. 😕



does anyone know what the wait is to get a vive if one was to order today?
