No, it was a bit of a pipe dream. I even argued against such fanciful notions but boarded train at the last stop anyway.

I'll do a proper thread later.

Oooof.. at a grand I think I'm out. It's just too much for me as a CV1 punter.

The Road to Vr hands on is pretty complete seemingly as well.  

Very promising but has enough caveats to keep me away for now. The god rays are a surprise and though all the fitting adjustments sound great to get to that 130 fov my Rift is still used regularly by maybe 5 heads ranging from 8 to 40..I can't quite see how that's going to work anywhere as easily as the setup I have now. Great if it was just me using it mind. 

And how Valve launch it with no further announcements on what they're bringing for new content apart from saying that this.. thing.. will play on anything that can use Steam VR seems boggling. No confirm of genre, type, franchise.. I'm sure it'll be great but nothing? On the big launch announce day?? Valve do the Valve way as ever. 

If I had a Vive I'd be all over it. Maybe.. Though perhaps I'd go for the 'trollers first. They look to offer as much if not more of an upgrade than the headset from an outsiders perspective. Those Vive wands seem a little restrictive for some of the content coming. Maybe it's less of a thing if your a Viver?

Just got through the Tested vid there SG as well. Looks very nice and that 120 refresh sounds like the ticket. There's a lot to like there all in but enough summaries of a 'strong version 1.5 upgrade' to keep me out for now. 

I'm more tempted for now perhaps by the Rift S oddly. Really nice and easy, fancy inbuilt passtrough for setup and Guardian boundary stuff, bit of a res bump and all for just £400. 

Hmmmm.. I'll go have a look for some more hands on bits and bobs.

Good peice by arstechnica here.

It's quite amazing that the Quest is only $400.

Quest feels like it’s VR Switch in a way. If they brought out tetris effect and indicated further down the line games I’d for it I’d ditch the PSVR

Looking to sell an unused Oculus CV1. Any interest on here? My VR nut mate gave it to me as at one point he had something like 8 VR headsets in his flat. He'd just been given another one as a prize in an e-sports tournament and gave it to me.

Intention was to get a gaming PC at some point but I just can't see myself being able to stump up that kind of cash at the moment. Thinking of selling this to go towards a Quest.

Yeah, there's plenty of FPS games but it's early days for VR. Pavlov is great, but like most FPS's it needs the better resolution that the new headsets are bringing. FOV is also breing addressed, but it requires a beefy PC to get a hmd like the Pimax working. Wireless is becoming a thing which helps, and mobile is becoming slowly viable.

Probably not.

Yeah, it's the way forward for sure.

Cheers. That looks good fun. Just want some mp shooty action so am quite tempted.

Norm and Jeremy did a big VR/Index/Quest/S AMA recently and Norm said he was going to get a bigg'un. 

There's no cloud saves on Oculus so when you delete and reinstall you'd lose save and progress. If you plug it into a pc with the cable it does present as a visible drive though with save folders so you could backup easily enough but it's an extra stretch of management. The main memory hog would be movies or content you'd probably put on there yourself if you were travelling about maybe? 
Games though are pretty small (nothing much over a couple of gigs at launch, most are in the hundreds of meg) and realistically if you're coming from fresh a 64 would be fine for a good long while. 
I got a bigg'un as I'm lazy and should have a decent chunk of stuff from my library that should be transferable with the cross buy.

Box VR. Think I could cancel my gym membership!
