It looks like pre-order customers of the Oculus Rift don't have to worry about being affected by a shortage.

There's absolutely "no chance" that pre-orders of the virtual reality headset will sell out, according to Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey.

"No chance of Rift preorders 'selling out', we will keep taking preorders for as long as people want EVE: Valkyrie!," Luckey said on Twitter.

"If enough people pre-order and somehow exhaust all the stock we are building up, later orders will just have a later ship date."

Oculus Rift pre-orders will go live later today (January 6). The device's release date has yet to be announced, though fans are hoping to hear something sometime this week.

Pre-order customers will receive copies of Lucky's Tale by Playful, as well as EVE Online shooter  spinoff Eve: Valkyrie.
