Anyone know when the Touch preorder will be live? Or did it already happen and sold out in like five seconds?

I'm on my phone, so no links, but Brenden Iribe just confirmed on Reddit that the extra cameras that will go up for preorder later in the month will also come with USB extension cables.

Or you just have gokarts mounted on stationary hydraulic things you sit in that don't actually move, just give you force feedback or something. The headset handles the rest. Just the next gen of those podracer arcade games. e: also VR podracing.

Sorry to keep posting the Tested videos but this wrap-up has some info on a whole bunch of games, including the Lone Echo multiplayer, which is basically an Ender's Game-style arena thing, which also sounds very cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_vyVXuc1Rc&t=1720s

It's like Oculus are taking certain people's worries and complaints and knocking them down one by one. Official roomscale support-check, extension cable-check, more immersive earbuds that blocks out outside sounds-check. They also seems pretty confident that they won't have any shipping issues, so fingers crossed. Also, Steam Dev days is this week and I'm excited to see if they have any new VR information they talk about.

Yeah, Touch pre-orders are up https://www.oculus.com/cart/ Make sure you login with the same email you used to order your Rift. ^^^^on the email receipt it does say "Taxes, Surcharges and Fees: Applicable shipping, taxes and duties will be added to and charged in your payment upon shipment of the unit."

Interesting that the one I preordered from Amazon still says November 23rd release date. The page still isn't publicly searchable so who knows.

mine is the same even without the preferred place in line. I hope everyone gets their Touch at the same time so we can all have fun together! But I'm sure that would piss off a lot of Redditors who expected the preorder bonus to grant them Touch a month early or something.

But I'm sure that would piss off a lot of Redditors who expected the preorder bonus to grant them Touch a month early or something. Yeah, I'm assuming this is just if they run out of stock, the preferred pre-orders get sent first, not any early access. Hopefully they can cover everyone.

Just make sure you use the same e-mail address. "

So it seems that the Santa Cruz prototype isn't wireless video, it's actually just all being done on the headset so it's probably going to be limited to cellphone games at the moment.

I don't think Oculus will have wireless video for a while. They are VERY strict on latency so I just don't see them doing it at this point in the game.
