The Rift is set for release pretty soon, but you'll have to take that with a pinch of salt as if you haven't already ordered, demand is way too high to guarantee one close to launch. The confirmed release date has been set for 'Q1 2016' which is between now and March, but the only people who will get their hands on the device in that time frame are the ones who helped fund the original Kickstarter. If you're an ordinary Joe, then the website currently states your 'expected shipping date' is June 2016, and although 20 different countries are listed to receive the headset, Game Reactor is reporting that the kit wont be available in other countries until 2017, though which regions were not specified.
