Oculus Rift Inbound

The future has arrived... kind of.
This is a big deal, like no kidding. The Rift is probably one of 2016's most highly anticipated products and it's been in the works since 2012. In four years Oculus went from being a small crowdfunded startup company to being bought out by Facebook for $2 billion; that just shows how rapidly the company has been evolving it's VR technology and now you can finally get the long awaited Rift for yourself. Well, I'm lying actually. The Rift itself has been backordered until July and if you were like me who ended up pulling that rather heavy $599 dollar trigger(Which is actually more like $680 once you figure in tax and shipping, not to mention more if your PC is below spec) on the day it came out which was yesterday. In other words I won't be seeing this thing for another four months which sucks but that's life I guess. You can get the Rift for yourself if you happen to be one of the lucky souls who pre-ordered; those come first and they are already getting theirs or by paying a scalper but I strongly suggest that you please not feed those scumbags. In the meantime you can pick up a cheap Cardboard unit to get a taste of what VR is like. Anyways, this will be something to look forward to down the line and I'll be impatiently waiting for the doorbell to ring in July.
