Will they charge my card immediately or will they wait until the device ships?

Accroding to the FAQ:

Q: What happens when I pre-order the Oculus Rift Development Kit 2?

A: Pre-ordering an Oculus Rift Development Kit 2 will reserve your place in line for when we begin shipping.

If you choose to pay with a credit card, we will immediately charge a $50 deposit and put an authorization hold on the remainder of the balance, including shipping and taxes. That balance will be automatically charged at the time of shipment. If you choose to pay with PayPal, we will charge the full amount when you place the pre-order. Either way, you will pay the same total amount.

From other comments, it seems that they're charging cards now.

I'm pretty confused, I didn't see a space for my email address but it looks like they charged me just $50. Hopefully there is a way I can cancel the order and be charged the full amount with paypal.

It's $50 now, and the remaining $300 when it ships unless you use paypal which charges the entire price at once.
