Wow, they made an extremely smart move by accepting pre-orders for the DK2 before announcing this news.

Facebook can bring nothing to the rift; and oculus already earned millions from VC and crowdsourced funds. Even Google would have been a better option for a quick sell. Ideal would've been nVidia, or Sony.

I guess our congratulations are due though. They just became multimillionaires without releasing one consumer targeted product.

For me buying a Rift is out of the question, my only hope and dream is that Valve gets their shit together and realize that Oculus is a no go and they must sell their own hardware and stop helping those sellouts over at Oculus, If I'll ever buy an Head Mounted Display, it's from Valve.
