Quote The rendering technology available in SteamVR's native environments is different than that in Half-Life: Alyx, and the interactivity is significantly lower than what the game itself provides.

And an asset pack appeared magically on the Steam Workshop of Steam VR !

Just curious what made you wait to get it at first? I got mine in the initial round (yes, I know they’re not cheap. Not saying anyone is stupid if that’s the reason they waited.)

Trying to find a graphics card for this, need to upgrade my 970 GTX. Considering if I get a 1080ti or a 2060.

Also, wtf. A month ago you could get a Oculus Rift S, brand new for $400.

Now a used one goes for $550. (!!)

Had some bills that needed paying off first. Payday is just around the corner, so had it all planned out.

RIP to the bank accounts of those about to spend $1500 on a video game.

It is a lot of money, and valve have a lot of balls to ask for it. But when you consider what is on offer...

Spoiler alert

Spoiler Eli dies at the end

True.

I’m excited to finally crack mine open and run the environments and try Boneworks. I don’t have adequate space for VR so that’s an issue.

Its not just that you need $1,500, plus a good PC, you also need fucking real estate to enjoy VR. At least Alyx is seated also.

Ordered! I hope. I pressed the button and got a confirmation mail but haven't paid yet or stuff. Let's hope it's all good. ?

I ordered mine too, got tons of error messages but it worked in the end. During that process, I was still told that it would be delivered within 2 weeks, while the store page would tell you 7-9 weeks (if you were not connected on an account). So maybe I'll get it within the 2 next week, right in time for Half-Life : Alyx. That would be a dream o_o

?

Good luck to you Puddy, Dux and the others !

I got the 7-9 week estimate, but it’s probably for the best, gotta paint and fix our new apartment before the virtual world swallows me whole.

Man what a confusing shit show that was. I, like everyone else was sat there refreshing the page waiting for it to go on sale. The moment it did I slammed that order button faster than an angry blizzard fan review bombing warcraft 3 refunded. A load of errors came up and that was that. Huh? Did it work? Did I order one? No checkout, no nothing. Panic at the disco! Go back to the page and it just says "ordered" Aight? Check my emails, got an email saying I have ordered an index. Sweet! How do I pay for it, what's going on? Can steam work? No? What the fuck is happening? Ok! Look at purchase history and the index is sat at the top saying " order in-process" or whatever. So turns out you don't pay right away (???) but valve sends you an email a week before it's dispatched or whatever saying "Ok we now deem it suitable for you to pay us, peasant." Yes my lords, right away my lords, whatever you say. Just gimme that sweet sweet half life vr.

My estimate is: ships in 2-4 weeks.

You've played the first 4 hours have you, IGN? That's cool. Means I won't read/watch your content to avoid all the spoilers. Thanks for letting me know.

Well this will keep some people indoor for a while ? ?
