Oculus says it'll start selling its Rift VR headset beginning in Q1 2016. A fundamental problem with selling VR gear to most consumers is that they'll want to see it in action, or else they'll be left wondering what the fuss is all about. It appears that Oculus has already given a lot of thought to this issue. RoadToVR interviewed CEO Palmer Luckey at E3 2015, and they learned that he wants to solve that problem with in-store displays that will provide shoppers with a first-hand demo experience.

Me: Guys get ready to test out the Oculous rift at major retailers and get your experience in VR, remember to have a great demo they must let you try it with games :D

Lots of retailers do this already anyway, with stations for consoles, etc. Fry's has PC stations for various games, as well. I expect it to be similar.

For the demo could we use, uh, custom demos?

I don't think the would allow you to bring your Ocuporn as a demo.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.
