Dell's Oculus Rift bundles could ship before preorders from Oculus itself.
Attempting to preorder an Oculus Rift VR headset from the company's
own website right now saddles you with an expected shipping window of
June. But going through Dell's avenue
— purchasing a Rift bundled together with either a Dell or Alienware
Oculus Ready PC — might actually get you a Rift sooner. When I spoke
with Alienware GM Frank Azor earlier today,
he suggested that purchasers of such bundles would get their Rifts at
the same time as people who initially preordered the headset: around the
end of March or the beginning of April.
In a later Q&A session here at CES, Azor and Oculus founder
Palmer Luckey confirmed this suggestion, saying that some Alienware /
Dell bundle purchasers are likely to receive their rigs before preorder
buyers ordering through Oculus' site now. In short: if you're desperate
to get ahold of a Rift as soon as you can, Dell's bundle deal could let
you obtain one sooner than ordering from Oculus itself.
