So Excited to Get the Oculus Rift!

Several days ago the future of gaming was made available for pre-order. The Oculus Rift. The Oculus Rift is a headset that plunges you into the world of virtual reality. It makes you feel like you're actually in the game. I've watched countless videos on youtube of people playing the game and it looks amazing. I was so excited when they announced the countdown to pre-order and watched the site like a hawk until the pre-order button finally appeared. Then of course, the site shuts down because of the overload. It took me nearly 10 agonizing minutes to finally get it pre-ordered but I'm so happy that I did. I will be receiving an Oculus Rift from the first batch that gets sent out at the end of March. If you pre-order now, it will be June by the time it's sent out. That's crazy. It's definitely a popular item. I nearly went into shock when I learned the price of it. I was under the impression that it was going to be around 300 something but received a rude awakening when I saw the 600 dollar price tag. Wow.... Luckily they won't charge me until it ships so I have until the end of March to sell an organ on the black market. lol I'll also have to get a new pc. Neither one of my computers is fancy enough to handle the Oculus Rift so my brother is going to build me a new one. I'm pretty excited. I'm working extra hours at work, taking up babysitting jobs, and working on 3 earning sites to save up. I really hope it's worth it. :-)

@missjessicadawn I have read that at this price the Oculus Rift headset comes with 100 games. This is the launching package.

The man who created the Oculus Rift gave everyone an estimate of about $350. We were all very shocked when we discovered the real price. I really hope it's worth it.

@LadyDuck I haven't heard that, but I hope it's true. I only heard of 2 games.

wow that's a lot of money. I don't think I would like that much. I have motion sickness and many of today's video games make me dizzy.

@missjessicadawn My son just told me PS4 is supposedly going to have one as well. I don't know about all the video games stuff.

You definitely will. I gotta save up! lol Honestly though, I'm really loving this site because I've missed writing. I also love reading posts from other people and getting an insight into their lives and culture, etc. It's very fascinating. :-)
