JS490 - I think the Chinese thing must be taking shape so people will be taking positions on the dips in the expectation of a re-rate when the RNS drops later this year.
So whilst I wouldn't necessarily an RNS on the matter anytime soon, I don't think it likely that the sp will dip much below 120 again, if ever.

mycool - I think they are just talking about the artists that they have released onto their App at the time of the interview.
There is a lot of video in the bank that is progressively being launched, so I wouldn't worry.

It would appear to me that MVR are yet again waiting for something to happen.

Absolutely, great time to top up.

Now, whilst not wishing to be one of the RNS tomorrow gang.

The company has RNS's something on more or less a monthly basis this year.
They are in the phase when they are doing things, we must not forget that they have loads of money from their placings which they will be using to do things that build value.

So, I am guessing we will get another snippet in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
Unfortunately I have no idea what that snippet might be.

If you dig back through interviews that Zuckerberg has done, you will see that he has stated that for him buy out targets fall into two camps.
Ones that are bought out really early on where the idea is a must hace, for MVR this would equate to pre-launch sometime when the idea/App was seen to be working and FB decided it was a, "must have".
Clearly this time has passed.
Then there are those that FB support in some way, but don't buy until the business is established and shown to be working.
Obviously for an FB buyout, MVR would now fall into this second camp which in turn would mean no buy out for some time, however how long "sometime is", is a piece of string question.

Then there is the Windows/Microsoft tie up and the complete lack of any information on how/if/what has progressed there.
Would FB really buy something that had a serious tie in with Microsoft ???

Has anyone seen anything recent/this year on the MS/Windows mixed reality aspect ???

Being a simple soul. How does one 'chart' a news driven share? Appologies to those that consider this a silly question

These links may also be of interest; https://melodyvr.com/performance/vancejoy/ hTtps://mashable.com/2018/05/31/oculus-venues-vr-concert-vance-joy/?europe=true#3_tDL1ZZLkqP

The Niall Horran clip on Melody's Twitter feed has has 188,000 views. Unless I am mistaken, that is a good thing.

At launch Melody's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages all had around 2000 followers. Today; Twitter has over 2500 Facebook just under 2500 Instagram lags @ 2100 ish It is interesting that Twitter leads the numbers for a Facebook product.

One point of interest from the Investec note was that at the end of 2017 (so 4 months ago) the total number of headsets that had been sold worldwide was 36 million, which might now reasonably be assumed to be over 40 million. That is considerably higher that Melody's initial stated launch criteria, and a pretty good starting point. Just saying.

Hollie, you like ELO, all is not lost !

hollie - I thought we had recently been reading that the "younger" generation that you refer to, don't like real experiences, they don't like to drinking, they don't like physical interaction, and going out, well they don't have the money. I would have thought that using a HMD in the privacy/safety of their own bedroom would be perfect for the kids, and the the parents would know where they are. Sounds like a win/win to me. BTW - Please don't type cast me as an old man just because I don't type in txt speak and litter my text with grimmatical errors !.

This link takes you to the Investec Broker note. It was posted earlier by Iofas on this board earlier. I suggest that you take a look, it seems ok to me, even if you have bought in recently and are miffed about the recent fall in the sp. https://we.tl/8isptPt5RS

Optimist - I am not a technical analysis guru, and don't follow any such person or website, but having observed/participated on this BB for some time I don't think any of these guru predictions reported to this board by the various posters has particularly hit the mark. Seemes to me to be a bit of badwagon jumping. I am not sure that we will get any news this week. No financial reports are due, they have launched, they have recently reported some licence agreements. What else would be expected ?

Spotify has gone from 0.5M paying subscribers in 2010 to 70M today. https://www.statista.com/statistics/244995/number-of-paying-spotify-subscribers/

For the Oculus Rift detailed sales figures were never released, so i would not hold my breath. For the foreseeable future I think we will be left news, rumour and word on da'street !

Has anyone seen any adverts for MVR ?

I think if you click through the new apps on the Oculus Go site, then Melody is the one that has the most reviews. Some of the Apps have reviews that must come from the Rift because the first review is over a year old. So where you see 30,000 reviews for an App, they are not reviews on the "Go", only the recent ones, of which there are not that many. Again Melody seems to me to have the most recent reviews. Good start.

Looking at the Oculus site they list the Melody app ay version 4.4.44 Not that it matters, but I guess this shows just how many builds were completed before release
