He also confirmed that pre-orders will be available, but won’t be launching until early next year:
@PalmerLuckey Preorders are coming soon after new year. Enjoy a stress-free holiday, we won't launch preorders without warning!

Oculus appears to be one of the first VR headsets to reach market in terms of the high-end, with Vive delayed to an April launch due to a “very big technological breakthrough” and PlayStation VR releasing some time in 2016. Samsung VR, co-developed with Oculus, was released this month for Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
