Me too, especially when starving and having no roof over.. oh wait, needing oculus rift.

(No offense meant Smile

Just thought it was funny, to NEED a vr device Smile

I'll probably buy mine... a year after the launch. Somehow I haven't gotten into the hype at all (probably because I haven't played the space sims for a while now, when I played Elite, I felt like preordering oculus rift)

I giggled, but he didn't say he needed a rift, but needed money to pay for a rift. There IS a slight difference kogel mogel

It's not an auction so there can't be bids (only offers).

It's pretty smart though, there's always rich people and sadly enough that kind of money is a piss in the ocean for some people.. He's just hoping to get lucky. I do this too sometimes, but with other stuff, it's rare that i have any luck, but it has happened.

I am a xxx31xx. Started right away but then got caught by the credit card problem. Processed the order but errored after the payment part. Ended up paying with Paypal. For some reason, that worked. Gotta wait. Dammit.

x33 here, also credit card fail issues, tried the girlfriend's one 45min later & that one worked for some reason ;( oh well, at least its starting to get closer! still doubting whether to upgrade my system (2500k+780 non ti lightning atm) now or wait for pascal ... after nvidia's fail yesterday and the fact that the launchcards possibly won't include hbm2 i'm starting to doubt if its really worth waiting anymore.

x33 here as well. I was out at hospital when it went live and although I tried within minutes on my mobile, paypal just refused to work. I had to wait an hour before returning home to use my credit card. Sad
