Buy Software Before Registering Hardware?

I have a Rift on order which should be arriving in a few days.  I created an account with Oculus, but am unable to purchase any software in anticipation of the unit coming in.  It keeps telling me that my address needs to be updated, but there is no where to do that as far as I can see.  I wonder if it's because I didn't register any hardware yet.  Has anybody run into this problem?  Thanks

You're probably better off waiting for your hardware before buying anything. However the address error doesn't sound like it has anything to do with having the hardware or not. You can try adding your credit card here:

cyberreality.... I think you're right.  I already had a credit card on file.  I deleted it and re-added it which allowed me to add software to the cart. But I think I will take your advice and wait until the unit arrives.  Just want to make sure I don't miss the summer prices.  Thanks

Well, if you want to buy the sale games, it's probably a good idea to act quickly. I just know sometimes people will buy games you get for free after setting up the controllers (such as Robo Recall) so be careful.
