The Oculus Rift heads to retail stores before pre-orders are fulfilled

Oculus has advised that Oculus Rift units will be available for purchase at retail stores, ahead of total fulfillment of the VR headset’s pre-orders.

“A small number of Rifts will be available for purchase at select Best Buy stores starting May 7 and online from Microsoft and Amazon, starting May 6 at 9 a.m. PST,” Oculus advised. “Quantities will be extremely limited while we catch up on Rift pre-orders.”

Customers will be able to head here to see which stores have stock.

Do you think it’s fair for Oculus to send the Rift to retail ahead of delivering units to those who’ve pre-ordered?
