The crowd is really bad...I got there early but hosed up and decided to withdraw some cash to buy swag...took me an hour to find a machine and the place was packed out by then. I didn't even end up buying anything.

the meme of calling valve volvo. the mod thought the guy was talking about valve when he was talking about volvo. he got probated for posting a completely 100% true statement in the most inoffensive and straight forward way possible.

but thats standard for grey forums

lol love the price brinksmanship that VR is doing right now. wonder if oculus can do preorders without announcing he price
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-01-06-oculus-rift-pre-orders-open-today-and-you-wont-be-charged-for-them

quote:

Oculus Rift pre-orders open today at 4pm GMT and you won't be charged for reserving one of the virtual reality headsets until they ship. Think of it as getting in line.

"Rift pre-orders are different from most of the games industry," said Rift inventor and Oculus figurehead Palmer Luckey on Twitter. "You don't get charged until we ship - no deposit lock-in, no bonus pressure."
