Nope, didn't work.
I may end up having to send this system back and going with Vive.
Ever since I was a young boy I've wanted to do this, so now that I have, wtf do I strive for?

Damn, that would be a shame ..
It´s also a really weird issue. I cant really get my head around why its actually a problem.
I mean, since you have tried so many payment methods, there is no chance that you have something wrong with everyone of them.

I would hate to see you go witn vive, as I myself is convinced that rift is better having tried both.
I really hope support will be able to help you out for sure !!

Agreed, I like Rift too. But hell, if I can't buy any games or apps, whats the point in having the system?
Not quitting just yet tho, I'll keep trying to find a resolution for another week.
And thank you for your reply.

In case you have a steam account, and even better if you own Alien Isolation and Doom 3 BFG, get the vr mods for those. At least it will put your rift to use. Not to mention that to me AI have been the most scary vr experience ive ever had.

Also in case you have to return your rift, almost every game in there wil work with the vive as well.
At least you will get some great experiences with the rift before you might have to return it.

Oh, god .. You didnt ... Steam is like the leading platform for games ... You wont be able to find oculus exclusives in there .... But still most of the games in the oculus store are at steam as well.

http://store.steampowered.com/

This will get you started ^^
Make sure you install steamVR as well, once you have made your account ... You can also add me as friend in there. I will gladly help you out with getting to know how to use steam. My nick is "KlodsBrik" there as well.

Okay, so I now have a Steam account set up. Can I buy games there to play on Rift?
If so, I'm golden. I don't care where I get the games, I just want to get them lol
Friend request sent too.

Thanx GMenos, I tried setting up a new paypal & that didn't work. KlodsBrik told me about steam, walked me thru the process, and I'm able to buy all my games & apps there.

Kuddos to KlodsBrik!!
