Pretty off-topic, but I'm sure some will be interested in hearing this.

The HTC Vive, a VR device which was slated for a limited release this year and a full release Q1 of next year, was delayed in its entirety until April 2016. I'll be waiting for it, in the hopes that it will be released a better product than if it was earlier.

Here's the announcement blog post (and here's an alt post until blog issues get sorted out).

Anyone else looking into VR 2016? I got the opportunity to try out the Vive in October, and was very, very happy with the experience.

The limited release this year was always going to be a dev release.

The news to take away from this is that there's a DK2

Was it specifically going to be a dev release? I thought it was a limited release to the general public?

I have an email from Chet in September. Looks like the timeframe just slipped a month
We have a limited release for community developers in December and larger launch in the beginning of 2016.
