Those who backed the Kickstarter for Oculus Rift back in 2012, pledging for a Rift dev kit, will receive a free version of the imminent consumer edition, Oculus has announced.
“As one of the early supporters of Oculus, you helped make this revolution happen. And before we open Rift pre-orders to the world, we wanted to share one more special update with you, our Kickstarter community,” reads an update on the Kickstarter page.
“As a small token of our appreciation for your support, all Kickstarter backers who pledged for a Rift development kit will get a free Kickstarter Edition Oculus Rift! And like all Rift pre-order purchasers, you’ll receive a bundled copy of Lucky’s Tale and EVE: Valkyrie.
“To claim your free Rift, fill out the survey you’ll receive from Kickstarter before February 1, 2016 and provide a shipping address that is located in one of the 20 countries Rift is launching in. For those who don’t live in one of those 20 countries, we’re working on an alternative, and you can let us know your preference in the form.
“You were there at the beginning of our journey — we couldn’t have done it without you. Today marks a new chapter.”
The news comes hours ahead of the Oculus Rift pre-order launch at 5pm today, though we still don’t know how much the unit will cost.
