If it's anything like DK1, they'll be able to ramp up pretty quickly. I think you'll definitely be seeing yours by the end of August. Although I guess it also depends on where you live. They're sending them out in batches to specific locations. I believe USA and Japan are first. Trying to get more detailed info.

enough internet for today


"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

this reminds me of the box that comes with intel processors. Intel was looking into perhaps selling some of the processors with more exclusive boxes. They looked at the amd metal tin thing for example. But they found out that it would cost pretty much so if they went with an exclusive box they would have to raise the prices of the cpus to cover the price of the packaging and decided against it (because they felt that their customers wouldn't be happy to find out that 50-60$ was just the packaging).

What i'm trying to say is that the actual devkit is what's important. As long as the packaging is functional who cares if it's cheap or not?

The exception would be if you plan on bring the oculus with you on a regular basis, but perhaps they could offer the suitcase box as an added premium for those who wants it?

They seemed to work just fine on the first DK, which had FEWER buyers, so why the change for DK2? This isn't some cheap gadget for the consumer either, it's pretty damned expensive, so it would be nice to have decent packaging like the original DK1 has. It seems, to me, that it's just yet another example of a company no longer having to impress its customers so why go to the trouble?

You are right, it's the product that matters, but if that was the case then why go to all that trouble prettying up the case for DK1 only to skimp out on later editions?

I'm just speculating here but DK2 is being made and sent to alot more people than DK1 right?

So perhaps the box for the DK1 cost to much so they went with the cheaper boxes (to avoid having to raise prices just because of the packaging). Not saying it's awesome that they did it or that i agree with them but i do understand that it's bad business to sell stuff at a loss.

I don't know, maybe it's just me.. but my mind says "more sales = more profit" and if you sell more, you get larger bulk discounts from manufacturers when you place orders, so technically it should be *cheaper* to manufacture 20,000 snazzy cases than 5000. Either way it's a moot point, I mostly just joking at the massive step down in quality and adding on to S_L own jokey finisher Wink

I prefer cardboard box over increded price.
It is only 50 bucks more than dk1 but we have camera, 1080p oled screen and much better lenses. I say its a good deal... still a bit of a shame. dk1 case was fantastic. Sorry I had to sell it to get dk2 Sad

while the dk1 box is really good it's also a bit impractical
it's too big to carry comfortably and too small to be it's own proper case
i just dump it in my backpack and other needed stuff on top
i would have wanted to see another sexy box like it but with lower costs and just being a devkit i really don't mind it much

I prefer a solid case and paying a little more over a cardboard box. The resale value is way higher too, when it's in a nice case and a cartboard one just doesn't survive as long.

Yeah it looked great but it was actually difficult and time consuming to get rift back in there

Sounds like my co-workers when I told them to put the machinery correctly in their cases instead of just throwing it together or removing the inner placeholders so they could just dump it in.

It takes a few minutes... Laughing

So, when we receive the dk2 will we have to wait until current oculus games and demos are updated to support the new dk2?

My mind and body is ready, my pc hardware has been updated. Now send me plox.

Seriously though, I think may have to wait, I know I'm not going to be in the first batch ;(

Edit: for some reason I didn't think I pre ordered on the 19th, just checked PayPal and I did indeed pay that day. That means I should get I'm first delivery batch, fingers crossed.

Yes they need to be updated. If you ordered within the first 1-3 hours you're probably in the first batch yes.

I'm too curious to hold off, i really prefer to use final products, same with games, i never play betas or alphas..
