Are we stuck with these versions?

What about the Oculus prototypes? Are they still supported? Surely there can't be that big of a difference?

There's a massive difference. If you want to use an inferior display that has a greater chance of making you motion sick, then go for it.

The HTC Vive will not ship to South Africa.
