As Ive read in their forums it will be with 1080p, and much better in everything, price will be right too, close to 300 euros.
Oculus said the consumer version will be at least 1080p.

Interesting thing is, they expected to make 250.000 euros from dev mode but they did 2.500.000 euros :o so they are hiring some tech gurus, and that maybe speed up the waiting.
I think this could change gaming for ever, I cant wait to try it in flight sims 8)
Thas was in June, i guess they now have even more funded: "Oculus announced its first round of funding today, wherein the company secured $16 million from investors specifically aimed at putting the Oculus Rift in consumer hands." (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/17/oculu...6-million/)
And last week John Carmack (IMO THE 3D tech guru) got CTO of Oculus (http://www.oculusvr.com/john-carmack-joi...s-cto.html)

Camaro mirrors works perfectly, but some older cars mirrors can only be adjusted to a specific angle, pointing out to the sides and nothing can be seen behind. The 60's F1 also works good, but the Brabham has the same problem, very frustrating.
Good to know! I will drive the EVE and Spark around Nords today. 8)
