To the extent that Facebook made those promises to someone authorized to disseminate them, I wonder if they've opened themselves up to refund claims well beyond original purchase dates.

If anyone purchased the device relying upon Palmer Luckey's promises, that could be promissory estoppel.

(Not a lawyer, etc etc.)

To be fair, in my case, I did not. I actually received one as a gift last Christmas. I never got around to setting it up (still in packaging). I was planning on trying it out when I had some free time. Now I have a useless device that I can’t even return since I refuse to create a Facebook account.

You can use it for at least two years if you create an oculus account before October, according to the linked statement.
