From a Kickstarter campaign to a Facebook purchase, the Oculus Rift story is probably the biggest news in Augmented Reality since… well, ever! 

But the device is still only available “for development”, as that’s the agreement you’ll have to sign when you purchase units from their site. 

Never mind that, apparently the number of “developers” in China is so overwhelming, Oculus has decided to suspend selling units to China for now, as they fear the massive resale of these very same development units and the profits generated (not to the Oculus people, of course).

A consumer unit is in the works for later in the year, but in the meantime, sales are for developers only in (undeclared) moderate quantities, please. But not to China.
