Reddit is going apeshit over people ordering at HP.com and getting units shipped right away.
Yeah that seems to be where pre-orders were placed via a third party, and new orders are being placed directly with HP (I understand HP did not offer direct pre-orders in some territories).
That’s some serious bullshit from HP and I am not impressed. How are you going to let people who preordered wait months because you “can’t” fulfill their order, and yet you have the item up for sale on your website and you’re shipping them out immediately? And this isn’t even the first time they’ve done this. Someone on Reddit caught them doing the same thing in the European market a week ago.
I guess they assume they have these preorders locked in and they ain’t going anywhere, so might as well get some new orders in time for Christmas?
I wonder how much of that is true, and how much is reddit trolls stirring up shit.

Booo, I’ve checked my e-mail like a hundred more times and still no shipping notice. A watched pot boils faster right?

It’s horrible, isn’t it. Neither of my pots on the fire are showing signs of boiling, but there’s just no way for me to stoke the fire.
Should be close now…
I’m doing the same thing. After I check that there’s no email I go to the connection page to make sure. I expect that connection will get a big pile and send them all out at once. I pre-ordered on October 12 so I think there’s a decent chance I’ll get it before Christmas.
In a fit of optimism I just ordered those rechargeable batteries.
It’s arrived!
Edit:
*sigh*
I was expecting to get the USB error, as I have an X570 motherboard and I hadn’t got around to ordering a PCI-e card, and I did. I do have a powered USB-A hub, so I tried that. That got me past the USB error, but now I’m getting a 1-4 display cable error. It may still be related to the USB issue, as that powered hub can be a little flaky, but I just tried it on my laptop using the adapter and USB-C and I’m still getting the display cable error. It’s definitely seated all the way in on the headset, so I’m somewhat at a loss. I’ll try it again when the PCI-e card arrives but I may be looking at an RMA.

What’s the USB error thing?
This one, it’s a known issue with my motherboard type:
But the check display cable seems to be a completely separate issue. Hopefully, it’s “just” a defective cable/breakout box but as far as I can tell the display part of my headset is bricked or whatever signal it needs to turn on isn’t getting through. Sound comes through the cable to the speakers fine when I plug it in to my laptop, but the light doesn’t come on, it doesn’t show as a monitor in the device manager, and the WMR setup refuses to continue.
Long shots, but are you extra super sure? It was kinda tough to get in properly.
What’s your GPU? Have you tried booting with your monitor using HDMI instead of DP (or vice versa)? Booting from on-board if you have it?
I ask because mine gives the same error when I try use it after booting the PC with my HDMI TV. Rift S does not work when doing this either, Oculus say it is not supported using VR with a TV plugged in.
All pretty unlikely and probably an RMA, that really sucks. :(

I wouldn’t worry about the error code until you have it on a reliable USB connection. Having read a lot of the problem threads, the USB issue can cause some cascading errors.
That was my thought until I got the same error on my laptop, which doesn’t have the USB issue

Hmm. I also have an X570 motherboard (ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 wifi AX). I did pick up a USB-C hub recently just to give myself a little more flexibility. Is there anything else I can inexpensively do to prepare myself?
Edit: never mind I checked the thread. I think I may order that PCI-E card and return it to Amazon if I don’t need it. $26 is a small price to pay to ensure against the fury if the thing finally gets here and doesn’t work.
Is there a way to set Oculus purchases to require a password only and not a PIN? My kids guessed my PIN and bought some Rec Room tokens (fortunately only $20) because coincidentally my wife used it on their iPads and they’ve seen her access settings with it. But Apple is smart enough to require a password for purchases. Facebook…?
Google was no help on this, and I don’t see anything in the app. I’ve reset the PIN to something completely unique. I’d still prefer a lengthy password.
I’m reading there is a two step verification system option, maybe you can use that?
It’s a cold day here. I decided to boot up Pistol Whip.
…ok, now I won’t feel cold for the rest of the day.
Something I suspected long ago is that I’m not good with heights, and VR confirmed it.
In fact, coming back to Pistol Whip, they way I’m killed more in the game is those narrow corridor/platform that float on the void, that end up or a column (in a wider space) you have to avoid by going left or right. The narrow platform and the surrounding void makes me doubt and react slowly, and I always eat the freaking column at the end.

I’ve played this a bit, and can’t for the life of me figure out how to move away from the obstacles that appear right in front of you? Ive tried the first level 3 times, and there is no mention at all about how to dodge around the big pillar that appears right in front of you.
Any tips, Mr Tur?
