Well, scratch Oculus devices off any possible buy list. I can't wait until we can't use any device without logging into social media so they can track everything you do. (as if they aren't already)

Alright, but the wording seems to indicate that as long as you already had an account before that time, there’s no need for any Facebook bs?

It was naive of us to think that Facebook’s buyout wouldn’t inevitably lead to mandatory Facebook integration.

I guess you're right, I can't see it doing great for sales with other non-social media branded competition.

the key is to download vr porn for every available device on the market, so you don't need oculus any more

Does it need to be an actual account with a phone tied to it and shit or? Cause I have a FB account I've never used for anything but raffles and other stupid shit that required a FB account and that's kinda whatever. I mean you can just make a new xXxVRporn69xXx account for your headset and not tie it to anything else, with a throw away email account for registration and that'd be mostly fine?

I deleted my FB and refuse to create another. The amount of horseshit I had to go through just to delete my account was insane. There was no way to delete it, only hide it (Maybe that's changed now?). I had to go back and forth with customer service for a solid month before they conceded to delete it, mainly because if I used any service that had a "login using Facebook" option in my browser from saved logins it would cancel the delete process which for some reason took a month to complete. They can eat a bag of dicks.

It's probably more streamline now, or they'd face massive problems with the EU GDPR (which could lead them to get fined of 4% of their worldwide income).

God even with the Facebook requirement (might use wife's account) I tempted by this.

$299 to be able to play untethered without any dumb camera setup. I only have a PSVR atm too of course and it's just a pain to set up + the tracking sucks a dick.

Also looks like you can use this wirelessly streaming from your computer instead of using the link and it's actually better quality if you have a good router.

This is where Sony is really falling down, I know they're working on their next gen VR but they've said fucking nothing about it.

Talk me out of it.

I ordered one, comes Saturday. I was hemming and hawing so missed out on a delivery today. Although I guess best buy has them. Whatever.

I'll give a review Saturday unless someone else gets one first.

I don't care.about facebook integration

My Samsung Odyssey Plus with MSI g75 stealth works flawlessly. It has wire but its not a bother at all and it works well.
