Oculus VR warns fans to not expect Rift preorders and more at Connect developer event

Put away your credit card — Oculus Rift isn’t going on sale this week.

Virtual reality developers from around the world have assembled in Hollywood for the second Oculus Connect conference, and Oculus VR — the Facebook-owned company that has kickstarted the latest revolution for head-mounted displays — is planning to work closely with artists, engineers, and designers to help them make better immersive games. But one thing Oculus has made clear it won’t do this week is put the consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset up for preorders.
