Just to save others time. That article is a quick little blip saying Oculus said it had component shortages that cause the delays. Nothing new.

LOL, not exactly....its more than the title and more than your parsing of my title. But ok. Since we can't get official updates that address us in the forums when things are happening, then lets pretend that you can find something more than air here. A breakdown if you will. Sometimes I like to read my news from the source to get a sense of agency. Not from someone on someone's coattails, summarizing to get a higher post count. But whatever floats your boat 😐

Because of false advertising?
The CV1 is quite simply NOT either commercial or consumer friendly.
It has to be either advertised as a Development kit or taken off market until it is both practical and as user friendly as most peripherals.
At the moment it is still more or less a DK2 in sheeps clothing. Just look at the posts.

Why would you even say that? Especially when you have nothing to back up that false claim.

No, it really is just rehashing the same crap we've heard here and on Twitter. No new information was present in that post/video.

It was news to me at the time I posted it, today(April 12th), being the first day that an official response had made it to a media venue, quoting the source(Twitter, etc. the "crap" you had already heard). Take in mind that not everyone is you, and maybe it was news to them 😐
