Original kickstarter backers, check your email. Seems we are getting a free special Kickstarter edition of the new Rift!

"As a small token of our appreciation for your support, all Kickstarter backers who pledged for a Rift development kit will get a free Kickstarter Edition Oculus Rift! And like all Rift pre-order purchasers, you’ll receive a bundled copy of Lucky’s Tale and EVE: Valkyrie."

How cool!!

Now I am happy that I was too in group o oficial KS backers ( I was in first group of interested peoples before KS on mtbs3d forum and was sad that we have to wait so long..)
Thanks OCULUS and Palmer personally!

Too bad...hehe... ordered my DK1 one month after the KS-campaign... :lol:

But really, really nice from Oculus to honor a pledge !

Super Nice. I'm one of mtbs3d lurkers from days when noone knew one of the hottest words now - "Rift".
Remember Palmers' posts with his realy early prototypes made from foam and ducktape and of course I had to be part of this and backed on kickstarter.

Noone can say that Oculus forgot their early backers. Noone can blame Palmer anymore. 🙂

Respect

As I took more then one ks rifts - will I receive 5 cv1 kits now?
Not sure if I need order some more on preorder tomorrow for my team.
Or should I just fill the form and sit and wait?
I had 5 tf2 hat codes and never used them. However I used promo codes to get Dk2 kits. 🙂
Will it be the same now and I will get 5 cv1 rifts? I think I should. 😄
And when can we expect an access to the famous sdk 1.0?

A huge congrats to all the Kickstarter backers!
Congratulations also to Oculus for being in a position to make this fantastic gesture. These are the benefits of having deep pockets and a cunning PR department. :twisted:

I know it was Jacksepticeye (youtuber) whose entertaining videos first turned me on to the Rift so hopefully he was a KS backer and gets one of these VReward sets. If not, maybe consider sending him one just for the huge amount of visibility he gave you guys during DK1's reign. I guarantee you'll get your money's worth.

As a DK2 owner I feel a pang of jealousy - but without the KS backers this surge in VR popularity would never have happened. Finally, thanks to the core team at Oculus for being the driving force behind this whole thing. I never got to try Dactyl Nightmare at the CNE decades ago so it's been a long time coming!

Missed the KS because I was on holiday. Ordered the DK1 as soon as I got back home.
THAT has turned out to be an expensive holiday!!

Do i have to contact support now to fix the empty VAT field?

Have to admit, this was quite the pleasant surprise.

Does anyone know if the CV1's for the Kickstarter backers will ship at around 28th of March?

I also left it blank, thinking it was for my VAT number if I was a business or whatever. I assumed they could look up the VAT values for the 20 supported countries themselves...

Should I contact support? (maybe after the major pre-order issues have cleared out of the ticket queues.)

Another extremely grateful kickstarter from when things were starting up on mtbs3d here 🙂 (backer #7, by some large amount of luck checking for the ks campaign to launch). Was not expecting such a great gesture as this, thank you to Palmer and all the team, and good luck with a smooth distribution! 🙂
