But one lucky user already got his headset. And he got it straight from Oculus founder Palmer Luckey.
Luckey made the trip to Alaska to hand-deliver the first Rift, in box signed by Luckey and the rest of the Oculus team, to Ross Martin - the first person to pre-order the $599 Rift.
Luckey posted the video of his Facebook page, noting that he and Martin have a lot in common: "We are both big gamers, and we were both homeschooled as kids. The biggest difference is that I grew up with surfboards while he grew up with sled dogs."
Here's the video of Luckey (who is inexplicably wearing shorts and a Hawaiian Aloha shirt in Alaska in March) making the special delivery:
