Fuck I'm so jealous of people part of wave 1. If some ebayer put it up for $1000 I'd totally buy it.Just got an email saying that my Vive has been shipped and will reach Oregon by the 5th of April at 4.30pm!
I think I got the notification from my bank at 9am PST yesterday...

If you're signed in, you can go to order history over on the left of that same page and you should be able to check it.

I'm going to do exactly that. Once I know where in the forums to post.You should really try reaching out to them on the HTC forums if you haven't already.
EDIT: Oh, first post. Well, my Murphy bed came together beautifully and I now have double the space for roomscale!
I want one, but I'm gonna have to get a smaller bed.
And get a smaller dresser because I don't use half of it...
And get rid of that filing cabinet because I have a closet I can put that paperwork in...
And get rid of this large cedar storage trunk...
WHY DO I HAVE A LARGE CEDAR STORAGE TRUNK.

OK so I had missed that
Thanks! I need to change my contact phone number as I got a digit wrong when I ordered. I've now spoken to customer services who will get back to me to get it changed

It's so much more peaceful when you don't have any chance of being in the first wave. You people are going to crash after the tension of waiting wears off. =P

Bro, I literally just built one of these last weekend using these plans and it was really easy. Just modify the measurements a bit for the size of your bed.

Mine looks just like this one but for a queen bed so longer and shorter as I have mine running lengthwise with the horizon.
I now have double the space!

Yeah, I spent about 20 minutes trying to figure out the same thing before I noticed the link too lol.
Do you live in the US? I'm from Finland, so I hope they will deliver them here next week.

It looks like they don't charge until they are about to ship. That's what happened to me at least.
by the trackers do you mean the lighthouse stations that go in the corners of your room? If so then no they require one cable. A power cable that you can plug into any power outlet.

Yea.
Don't worry, that happened to me too. It took a couple days for me. Also, be sure to use the order number and password they gave you in the confirmation email to look the order up.

For the love of all that is good use Paypal. Don't make the same mistake I did. You'll get your order before I do!

Maybe this will expand the Murphy bed/ wall-bed market.
Ideally you want a button that rotates all the features of your room around into Vive mode, like in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.

You get charged instantly so you dont have to worry about payment later. Apparently its very hard/nearly impossible to change payment information on htc's website.

Well, if your bank is a bank, and does bank things, then you will not get your Vive, basically.
Bank sees $900 charge and wants to check if it's fraudulent first? ORDER PURGATORY, AWAIT CANCELLATION. Got a new debit card since you placed the order and need to update the info? ORDER PURGATORY, AWAIT CANCELLATION.
And no amount of calling customer service can ever save you from purgatory.
Where's my shipping notification?
Welcome to purgatory, please submit a brand new order and get in the back of the line.

I'm still waiting on my shipping email as well. I got my original confirmation email at 3 past the hour.

lol. Maybe, on the other hand though, pre built murphy beds range into the $1000s. The one I built looks really nice and only cost me $130. It was my first time building any kind of furniture but it only took me one weekend to build mostly by myself as I just needed my wife to help flip some of the larger pieces on the saw horses. She also wanted to paint it so I didn't argue with her on the colors or anything lol. I won't be seeing them in VR anyway!
But I've already been charged tho. Bank gave zero fucks about approving the $900 since I make large purchases on a regular basis.

Yup. West coast. Preordered in 8 minutes. Got my a mail in 18 minutes
