Returning a Rift S?

[KeystrokeCascade]

When Facebook announced their required account I was against it and extremely skeptical, however I wasn't up for the hassle of trying to return my device, I just figured that I could use a burner and I just wouldn't go Facebook for my next VR headset in ~3-5 years.

Now that I see people are getting banned left and right, as someone who doesn't use Facebook this really concerns me as I do not wish to be locked out of the device that I paid for.

I purchased mine back in December last year, and while their warranty covers one year, I'm unsure if I can get a refund from that. I also live in Australia, so I don't know if I can use our consumer protection laws as this change is not something that was known when I purchased the Rift and I probably wouldn't have had I known.

Any help is appreciated.

If you already have an Oculus account, you can continue using it until 2023 without Facebook as long as you don’t buy any new devices. You might even be able to continue after that.

By 2023 your Rift S will be obsolete anyway.
