Me. I said I was going to snag a Vive, but backed off at the last minute. I REALLY want to test it before dropping 800 bucks. Also, there are literally like 2 games I see I would even consider playing. What I want is a great dungeon crawler which I can get lost in.Okay I am struggling here. I know that early adopters like this often suffer from technology bugs, pay premium prices over what is charged even 18 months later, and have limited content choices...
but the inner techno geek kid in me REALLY wants to experience this in the comfort of my own home. I keep almost pulling the trigger on it, but even after all the three major players (Sony, Oculus, HTC) have announced their specs and pricing I'm unsure as to which solution seems right or even if any of them do. Part of the problem is that there's really no good way to preview the stuff since any 'demo' is usually done at big events and is swarmed with massive lines.
Anyone else on the VR fence?
I'm just going to stay on the outside of the fence for now.Okay I am struggling here. I know that early adopters like this often suffer from technology bugs, pay premium prices over what is charged even 18 months later, and have limited content choices...

Have you tested the Samsung VR at Best Buy yet?Okay I am struggling here. I know that early adopters like this often suffer from technology bugs, pay premium prices over what is charged even 18 months later, and have limited content choices...

Samsung VR is a step above googles offering but I feel the same. At first its a pretty powerful experience, but the novelty starts to wane very quickly. VRs biggest challenge will be to produce a blockbuster/AAA game/experience that gets such high praise and delivers on such a level that people will buy a set just for that title. Without that your selling consumers on whats possible, and at the current pricing point thats not gonna fly.Is the Samsung VR much different than just Google Cardboard? I had mentally just put them into the same boat since both were just fancy goggles to look at your phone screen. I have used the Google Cardboard for a couple things and found it entertaining but not 'wow'
This looks amazing, but I think at 1200 vertical pixels it just won't be high enough resolution.Its averaging around $1200 (sold) for CV1 right now on eBay, prices will usually drop 30-50% after release as actual product floods the channel and the people who will pay absolutely anything shrink. So sell now for $1200 with the risk of a scammer getting both your CV1 and keeping his money - high risk imo, easy to send you back a box of bricks and eBay will side with him, or wait for release and it'll probably sell for $800-900. eBay/paypal fees add up to 13.5% or so usually. craigslist is probably a safer way to sell but good luck not getting shot
its a bit ridiculous that its like a few days before the first shipments go out and we still have no clue when stuff is shipping, who is getting what when, etc.
this looks cool
Dude gave me a Occulus DK2 and you look at my water bottle man?HAHA, even Brahma's water bottle is stylish.
