Oculus Rift Hits Retail Again! Before Pre-Orders Reach Users

[WYP]

On May 6th a number of Oculus Rift Headsets will become available to buy at Best Buy, Amazon and Microsoft, once again bypassing the massive queue of those who have Pre-ordered or Kickstarted the device.

Read more on Oculus giving Retail stores Oculus Rift HMDs before they have fulfilled pre-orders.

yeah, you would think that they would have learned after the first time.

Haha wow, I wasn't aware of this at all... But this is a big cluster f*ck all around.
How dumb and extremely retarted Oculus seems to be!

Sad for the users that this company thinks they don't have to honor their agreements. From a consumer point of view, I would NOT trust a company to provide software and firmware updates for a device when they won't honor their pre-order agreements. I would recommend that if you are an early adopter of VR, make it something other than Oculus!

Ouch, bad move Oculus.

Yeah it all seems to have gone downhill since being bought out.
Still keen to give it a try mind you.

Well if I go for it, it'll definitely be a Vive.

It wouldn't be bad if you could pre order it at retail chains. But selling them is just way to far. I suspect Vive will benefit from this
