Mine has just arrived but I'm at work. PC should be ready hopefully Monday. Shop waiting on 1080
Should I buy Project Cars from Steam? I'll pick up Blazerush. Already own Elite but I'm going to get an Oculus Store key for that.
That controller looks wild.
Got mine pre ordered, ordering an extra sensor at the end of the month for great roomscale coverage. Got to say I'm absolutely blown away by the Rift. Love demoing it to friends and family.
Mine's pre-ordered as well. Have you seen the game they announced called "Lone Echo"? Looks amazing!
Yeah, wildly overpriced at $199.

If you have an Oculus Rift, the Touch controllers are an absolutely must-have accessory. With these comfortable and versatile controllers, Oculus has finally closed most of the gap with the competing Vive when it comes to providing millimeter-accurate hand tracking in virtual reality, and surpasses it in the dexterity of your virtual hands. The only major weakness is that the out-of-the-box set doesn’t give full 360-degree coverage, so unless you buy another sensor it’s easy to lose track of your orientation and end up reaching for something that’s blocked by your body. Even so, adding hand tracking to your VR setup opens up many worlds full of possibilities, and the Touch controllers are the finest option available.

Oculus Rift + Touch bundle is available at Best Buy now for $200 off regular price, so $599 for the combo.
...and so it begins....
I hadn't heard of that game so I watched some videos. Looks like amazing fun with style. It seems there is an outside chance in the future for it to appear on other VR units. For this tech to succeed and grow there shouldn't be any exclusives and standards created amongst competitors. A concerted effort needs to build the user base and create a bigger pie to then be fought over. Wishful thinking.Robo Recall is a triumph.

Good interview with a VP for HTC Vive talking VR present and future and how Oculus' exclusives are bad for the VR platform:
"We're not using content as a weapon. We're using content to help create and sustain the VR ecosystem."
