“You’re on your own”: Oculus warn second-hand Rift buyers

Oculus have had enough it seems. There’d been rumours of overseas buyer snapping up many copies of their Development Kit 2, the prototype to the second version of the Rift they were to bring out, and then going online to sell the DK2s to the highest bidders with prices marked up above what Oculus were asking. Seems that they’re not just rumours though.

 

Today the company, known for their popular VR headset, have not only made their unhappiness at these sorts of buyers well known, they warn to all people who buy their DK2s second-hand: you’re on your own when it comes to customer support.

“We don’t allow resale of the development kit.” Oculus community manager cybereality wrote online. “We also don’t provide warranty on second-hand sales, so if you buy on eBay you are on your own.”

 

The new version of the Oculus Rift is promised to be a step-up from the original version, providing better quality and comfort for users. The company had planned to make kits available to developers to help them develop games for use with the headset. Given the first version’s popularity though, it’s sad to see people taking advantage of this to try and cash in on the craze.
