Oculus Reveals Its New “Crescent Bay” Developer Kit

This isn't a developer kit. It's a prototype and may or may not be made available to the public. The techcrunch title was also changed to reflect this.

Anyone have a prediction for when the DK3 will be released?

I'm on the wait list for DK2 but it's still going to be at least another month before it arrives based on their estimated ship date.

Wondering if I should figure out how to cancel my order and wait for DK3 or just hold tight with the DK2.

If it follows the timeline of the Crystal Cove prototype, I'd guess... 8 months.

I hope the headphones are optional/removable. I would much rather use my nice studio headphones than the no-doubt crappy built-in Occulus ones.

They are optional. This was explicitly mentioned in the keynote.
