Get the headset and then decide if you need to upgrade the GPU or not.
Gambled with an Amazon Warehouse deal, said they have stock due on the 7th April. The one I purchased said "as new" but repackaged so hopefully it'll be OK. Strangely the estimated shipping date is currently showing as 19th May, hopefully this will change in the next few days. Am thinking if it comes into stock, new, elsewhere I can cancel this order. Alteast this way i've hedged my bets. Fingers crossed.

Who is the seller? If it's not amazon directly I would not trust it at all.
Sold and fulfilled by Amazon.

Should be alright then, get an alright discount on it?
Saw some warehouse deals popping up from scam sellers that weren't Amazon so just wanted to check.

I actually paid slightly over RRP for it. Couldn't find any other way of buying on with delivery next week. I refused to buy one off eBay and at least I have a degree of protection through Amazon.
That said, if anywhere gets stock between now and then, I'll cancel the order and buy the new unit instead.

Mine arrived a couple of hours ago (a couple of days earlier than estimated). All set up and two happy children. I'll take a proper look later, but first impressions while I was setting it up were "exceeded expectations". When I've tried other headsets in the past I've immediately had a sea-sick feeling, but this seemed really intuitive and I didn't get that at all.

Yes same issue here, mine was supposed to be dispatched yesterday and it wasnt.
So I am guessing Monday now......maybe

Now £482 for a second hand one at Amazon Warehouse.
I managed to bag one at £389.
Used but good apparently probably just a customer return or missing packaging, delivery 15th April if they come up in stock anywhere else in the mean time I'll cancel it.

Wow when I looked at 7am this morning there were ten available on warehouse. Now only one left.

Lets hope they checked the contents or you will end up with a loads of spanners.
Noticed there was a new Pimax 5k on there too but a bit pricey.

Amazon have been doing this sort of thing on lots of items they deem non-essential. I've placed an order for things that are essential for things I have to do, but are not things like food or sanitary products etc. and they've all shown estimated delivery dates of 1 month away.
One of those things has already turned up (four days after ordering)! So it may well arrive before the 19th May.

It's from Amazon direct, just one of their returns, I'm sure they have processes in place to check the box lol, will find out soon anyway!

Well I'm hoping that mine actually might ship today from Oculus, after it was supposed to ship by the 2nd.

Right there with you brother, although bad timing as my FF7 Remake copy is meant to be showing up any day now.
