Yeah but what I mean you waited 15 years, there’s no reason to pay an overpriced device. They are gonna restock it.

I've waited long enough bruh. Well, turns out the leak was true, new headsets coming on for Monday. So this is gonna be an absolute shit show with everyone trying to order one.

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...

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.
