Backers who supported Oculus’ 2012 Kickstarter are getting a free consumer Rift headset courtesy of the company, but only if you submit your details by February 1st.
In a surprise announcement earlier this month, Oculus said they’d be giving all of their Kickstarter backers (at a level to receive the DK1 development kit) a free limited edition consumer Rift headset as a thanks for their support in the 2012 campaign which got the ball rolling for the company.
To claim the Kickstarter Edition Oculus Rift, backers need to fill out a form sent by email (to the address associated with their Kickstarter account) by February 1st—less than a week from today. If you haven’t done so yet, be sure to find the form in your email and plug in your info. With Rift pre-orders pushed all the way back to July, you definitely don’t want to delay. If you’re having trouble finding the email, you may want to reach out to Oculus Support.
