So this is cold although it's the best price ever and the deals from other retailers are mega hot????

Because it's like 5th post for same item and same price

This is actually the best deal as it comes with Eye Valkyrie for free.

OP, you might want to update your deal to reflect this. :wink:

Heat from me

except its not as it include EVE, so best deal currently, not to mention free next day delivery unlike Amazon which need prime. also its the third post

Still Amazon is much better when it comes to customer service.
I'm sorry but it's FIFTH post. Scroll pages down instead of using search which is crap

I dont disagree with that but still best value and only one with next day delivery for (truely)free.

and yep its the fifth. didnt know people was posting it in computer and audiovisual

It's getting hot in here.
A pound cheaper than Amazon, and a free game worth £30 (on Steam).

The Amazon listing seem a little confused.
It states it comes with "three Free games - Lucky's Tale, Toy Box and Dragon Front - included with every Rift purchase", though one of the product images shows EVE: Valkyrie, Lucky's Tail, and Farlands, but there's no mention of it in the description.

One of the questions and answers asks if EVE: Valkyrie is included, and the reply is "No, I don't think so unless it is a special deal by Amazon. The free EVE valkyrie code was only for only for pre-orders. Pre-orders got Lucky's Tale and EVE Valk but standard purchases just get Lucky's tale free."

That put me off the Amazon listing.

I looked at the other threads/suppliers. This is the only one that is actually a different bundle! Happily ordered from Scan and look forward to playing Eve tomorrow :smile:

Scan says Robo Recall, Dead and Buried, Toy Box, Lucky's Tale, Dragon Front, medium and Quill. Plus Eve: Valkyrie..

That's a few games! I'm a big scan fan also, thanks OP

Also free DPD shipping (I get free usually with my AVForums link) but DPD are the best, 1 hour window.

Now that is the best price i have seen yet, and you get the two controllers as well....and some games.....do i trade in my two DK2 or not.....that is the question.

just got the Eve code through email on dispatch

I went for it, CEX giving me £70 cash for my DK2's, and i have two, so with that basically all that for £250, now we are talking.

HEAT.

Great price, considering the superior Vive is still £750.

Scan really is terrible when it comes to customer service, though.

Want to return something? They don't want to hear about it.

They once tried to tell me I couldn't return something which was DOA because it had been several days since I bought it and maybe I'd damaged it while installing. Luckily the law doesn't work that way. And despite all the banners on their website saying how great they are, they then tried to tell me that they're only a "small family business" so they can't just accept returns willy-nilly.

I haven't bought anything from them since and never will.

Unbelievable cheek.

I have been dealing with scan for like 8 years and they have always been super easy to return stuff to, which I did on like 10 different occasions, some warranty, some doa, some even very subjective but they did it anyway...

Gah, I've been close to getting the PSVR as the price is dropping but this is almost too good to pass up. Conflicted. Running 1060, 4770 & 16GB which should run fine according to the rift compatability tool but I know I'd have to settle for low/mid range performance whereas PSVR is just compatabile.
6 weeks to decide.

I was in a similar position. I chose the Rift because of the range of games available currently, the flexibility of roomscale and the ability to use supersampling if I feel certain games require a bit more graphical clarity, that and the touch controllers are natural feeling for hand movement.

The PSVR has some good games, and the library is growing but in my opinion it doesn't have the range of games PC VR does right now, and there are some very good games under £10 for Rift/Vive

cheaper in US: $399 inc free next day: amazon.com/Ocu…lus

THIS DOES NOT include EVE.

Read the description on scan

Cool thanks. F it, ordered one, you only live once.

Oh balls. This doesn't include Eve!? It has no mention about it on the Scan page now. Was it there earlier?!

It DID include Eve - but they did say it was limited number - guess its passed that limit. The banner that was there earlier has now vanished.

For info they emailed me my key earlier today - so it will depend on what time you ordered whether you get a copy or not!

EDIT : I just checked my order - if it says "Oculus Launch Eve Valkyrie DD" on your order you will have it, otherwise..... :disappointed:

Looks like all the stock that included Eve has gone. No mention of Eve on the site or my order but I'd rather give them the cash than Amazon. I've dealt with them many times and done returns without any great hassle.

If you check your order history it will say if you get eve, I haven't got my key yet but i guess il get it when they dispatch the headset as it says "Oculus Launch Eve Valkyrie DD" in my order history.

Scan are crappy on returns I used to have a £20k spend per annum with them and I received a DOA motherboard from them which was missing a couple pin and they refused to replace never again

Damn just too late :thinking:

Just read that they've cut the price to $399 in the US. I refuse to pay the "UK tax" that US tech firms impose on us to make up their margins.

I have Eve, key delivered to my email

I have no Eve key FFS. Argh!

What is the return like for scan? I have read threads that's a say my graphics card will run this ok, but I'm not 100% and I can't fund this and a new GPU.

^^^Never had any issue with Scan, i think i have had to send back one video card and one mobo over the years, started a RMA online, got info, RMA reference number, coriour picked up item and away it went.

Of course that might be different for other people, although you will find that a lot of bad reviews are issues based on delivery of said items, and that is because they use DPD, a courier company that has some very useless drivers, i had one only a few weeks ago who was mean't to pick up a RMA for a ebay item i bought, they pulled up outside the flat, sat until they entered the collection time, then left, and 30 seconds later i got a text stating nobody was in when they called, despite the fact i was watching this pillock of a driver from the window.

GTX970, a Haswell i7 core, 16 gig ram, W10......... everything runs great, Elite, Star trek, Eve Val......

And i was pleasantly surprised to see you not only got a Xbox one controller, you also get the wireless dongle too. :smile:

I have this set up with both sensors facing down at ceiling level, with the PC in the middle, and the motion tracking is just fantastic, really happy with what i got here.

Can anyone comment what spec PC you need to run this kit well please?

not offering Eve Valkyrie anymore almost got it :disappointed:

Without Eve this is just one of many £399 deals and should be expired.

Feel sorry for all the people who are now going to try and return it for not having Eve.

You're about to find out why so many people warned against Scan!

You still get all this free:

hotukdeals.com/dea…938

$399 does not incluse US sales tax
£399 DOES include VAT. 20%

oculus treat us fairly well on the old $ / £ exchange imo.

PS if you want to be jealous then be jealous about the us amazon prime deal... $399 for full package AND get free $100 amazon gift card.

I have to agree with similar comments; Scan shafted me on a warranty claim. My mouse had an issue with the scroll wheel which was resolved in a revised version of the same mouse. Because the product ID had changed by 1 digit, Scan wouldn't accept the claim. Thankfully Roccat came through and shipped me a new mouse despite it being a 'return to retailer' warranty.

This is a good deal but can be had for the same price elsewhere. I can't see any mention of Eve:Valkyrie on the product page.

I'd like to endorse the poor Scan after-sales reports. I had an issue with a motherboard once, that failed within warranty. They kept referring me back to the manufacturer, even though it died within two weeks of use and your warranty is with the retailer. When I did argue an RMA out of them, they then insisted it was user error despite the fact the mobo in question had lots of negative reviews and returns to MSI due to a bad batch of power caps, which was all over the internet at the time. Never bought from them again.

As much as I dislike Amazon's tax dodging, their returns service is second to none. No questions asked and fast turnaround time.

I'm not arguing your experience above, but just to give my experience of Scan RMA - I had two leaking Predator 280 WC units costing £372. I raised the RMA shortly after EK announced the Predator model was EOL. Scan accepted both units back without quibble.

It will likely also give you Robo Recall for free as well. It will be available in the Rift store to download

Used scan plenty of times before. DPD delivery is excellent and reason enough to shop here

To be fair, and to excuse Scan, but that's because they can afford to be like that. Probably partly because they're not paying their taxes instead!

Just in case this helps anyone - I purchased from Scan, but they then withdrew Eve: Valkyrie. I phoned them up and asked them to cancel my order. They very kindly said they'd throw in the Eve: Valkyrie promotional key to avoid me cancelling my order. Result! I have received both, all good. Very impressed with that for customer service, well done Scan!

Why is SCAN saying END OF LIFE? Is there a new Rift coming?

No, there's a new Rift box package which will be Headset & touch controllers. There will be no Xbox One controller or remote in the new package.

The old bundle will be discontinued.

ordered in US: $435 inc tax (ffs @ CA) and will bring home in a few weeks... interestingly got 6 games for free inc lucky tail - but no EVE... however, did order CV1 pre-Launch, sold at £200 above price and kept EVE Code which still works.... so all in all pretty happy)
