It's like this for any awesome tech you have to wait for. Previous iPhone launches were somewhat the same. The wait for the Oculus Rift DK1 and DK2 was just as crazy if not more ridiculous. It's like if you have a good product it will bring people to their knees waiting for it.
True, I'm on the same boat but the Oculus is the first of a revolutionary VR device, not counting those old school VR glasses that don't count.. So I understand the craziness about it.
The iPhone has been out since 2007 and we go nuts over the newer one even if it's just a small change. I would understand the hype if this was the 1st iphone and wouldn't call us all crazy but... 😛 I mean have you watched the iPhone 1 press conference lately? Steve Jobs is doing scrolling of album art work and the screen is bouncing off the top and people are in awe mode, or even unlocking the screen with a swipe, back then that was unheard of.. I'd be going nuts to get one 1st day.. and I'm going nuts to get it 1st day literally the same thing 7 years later.. Apple has put us all under a spell and Steve Jobs is maniacally laughing right now.. Muhahahah 😀
