Today, Oculus announced that all Rift pre-orders have finally shipped, a lengthy two and a half months after the HMD’s initial release. Oculus added that Rifts will now ship in two to four business days.
I wonder how many people thought “Pre-orders have started shipping” meant “Yours will be there tomorrow.” Personally, I never thought that they would produce a warehouse full of stock before they shipped the first one. This schedule was about what I expected. This is their absolute first large manufacturing run — it wasn’t going to happen over night.
