Elite on Kickstarter...

[Yak]

oofah, looks like the pro might be a bit too rich for my blood, not sure I'm ready to drop 200 nicker on a joystick just yet. The stock x52 though, maybe, specially since I won't care that much about tri-state LEDs given I'm going to be in rift.

See this is how you engender "invest to play", make something so outstanding that people are willing to invest in extra necessary infrastructure, even if it's not yours, in order to play your stuff. Not just popping out an iOS version and slapping a stock My Little Pony IAP on it.

£200? I got mine for £139.

TBH, I think some traders are taking advantage of there being a bit of a shortage at the moment (caused by Elite: Dangerous?)

It's also worth mentioning that quite a few people have been using Voice Attack to trigger stuff which could be useful when playing with the Rift (I feel stupid talking to a computer though). It's a nifty bit of software though, and only costs $8:

a quick look on amazon showed £190 or out of stock for the pro, £132 for the standard one. But yeah they may be jacking them up at the moment because of ED. No rush as i have to wait till standard beta anyway, I'll keep an eye out in the meanwhile .

[galaxis]

Hrm, the single player part of the beta feels a lot more choppy than the single player combat demo before... Not that I have stellar hardware (i5 notebook with a radeon mobility HD 5650), but I think I have kept mostly the same settings.

Dabs (eargh) have the x52 pro for £110 - it's out of stock but if they do get stock in I'd say that was a bargain compared to elsewhere.

Had a look and it said 'in short supply'. So ordered one!

Thanks. Not that I needed to spend even that right now.

Now must build that PC....

[defsdoor]

I ordered one too. Here's betting they never get stock. There's a reason I haven't ordered off Dabs for years

I always hated Scan more...

Fingers crossed.

[Yak]

Haha just came here to say I ordered one at dabs and beaten twice

No rush so I hope it'll just be a nice surprise one day

Ah, viewing the order via my account it says 'awaiting stock from supplier' somI guess every chance this may not happen.

But like Yak no rush, I'm also only on the normal Beta and probably don't want to play it until my DK2 arrives either...

If I could afford it would buy a new rig just for this. Not sure I like the 'snapping' to control panels on left/right of view - required functionality if using shortcuts I guess, would educe vomiting/break the immersion in VR.

It doesn't snap when using the Rift or TrackIR. You just look at where the panel should be and it pops up so you can use it.

Crossing fingers it will run on my 2011 i5 Macbook pro - failing that PS4 by 2015
