As good as it gets with todays technology
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own both previous developer kits leading up to this product and while the 2nd dev kit was amazing for putting yourself inside the virtual world, It lacked custom parts and ergonomics. It was actually using its screen from a Samsung phone. all I can say is they nailed it with this model. The resolution is the perfect compromise between clarity and actually being able to run it without buying a super computer. The built in headphones are not only convenient but they sounds light years ahead of anything I've ever tried. Even better than my $400 over the ear headphones. The older models felt like you were strapping a brick to your face, now It literally feels like your putting a hat on. It's very light and you could wear this thing for hours with no problem. The sweet spot in the optics is now huge! You don't have to move your head to see clearly while looking around anymore, you can just shift your eyes in the headset and it's still see nice and clear. The cord length is long enough to walk around in a 12' x 8' area with no problem (I don't recommend it unless you have your hands extended to prevent wall impact.) Overall, this product nails it for a 1st gen modern VR headset and I would recommend it to anyone who can get their hands on one!

Needs to get better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yeah, so VR is cool, even at the current level is technology. The Rift, however, isn't the best value, even with its current $399 price tag. First of all - the one piece of it that truly shines: the touch controllers. They feel great and they're the best hand input available right now. Far superior to PlayStation Move controllers. Second, where it truly needs improvement: the headset design. Any remotely active game will have you removing the headset constantly to remove moisture from your face and from the lenses. I even had to send mine in for repair because accumulated moisture caused vertdigris to form on the headset's HDMI/USB port resulting in a failed USB connection. The cable feeding into the headset where it does is just poor design. You'll also have a nice red ring on your face after you're done playing. Even with this super tight fit, you'll still notice light coming in from around the nose area. The tracking is middling at room scale, and the ridiculous lengths (pun intended) you have to go to to set up the cameras are a big turn off. The Vive's method is far superior and of course PlayStation VR is not really room scale but it's quick and easy. There are a few games exclusive to Rift/PC that are good, but not enough to make me feel like I needed to have it. For now, PlayStation VR is by far the best value. The next generation of headsets may or may not change that. I ended up selling the Rift after my refurbished headset came back and I'm sticking with PSVR.

Awesome!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great piece of kit! I was able to use my Elite Plus status to get the 100.00 gift card with in the return policy. Not included Oculus Touch Controllers are awesome! The only negative thing I can think of is that most games in the store is kind of expensive, especially after spending 800.00 for the Oculus & Touch Controllers. The resolution could be higher, but if the game is good you forget about it :)

Oculus Rift ! Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have watched numerous videos on the Rift, and its competition only to hear people say ohh its not much better than the cellphone VR headsets blah blah. Well I can tell you right now it IS MUCH BETTER yes there is still a small percentage of the screen door effect all VR is like this in its current infancy but the quality is way higher, and the graphics are ALOT better with less lag and a faster refresh rate and higher field of View. This all comes together to make a truly mind blowing experience, and the built in headphones are pretty good too. You will need a BEEFY PC to run the Rift so if you do not meet the minimum Requirements I would steer clear.

Amazing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Oculus is amazing and even cheaper than I spent on my ultrawide monitor. The head and hand tracking is accurate even though my sensors are connected to 2 acceptable Usb 2.0 ports. My headset is 3.0 but I had an error with the 3.0 card for the sensors but even with 2.0 everything works perfect. Assetto Corsa is real life status with the headset on. I will never play another racing gaming without head tracking VR. For that game alone this was worth it and I remember when I was close to wanting to spend 500 just on the headset a while ago. I am glad I waited but it's worth full price.

Fun for awhile, Not worth the expense

The best VR
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a little bit of an issue with my computer crashing at first when I plugged in the VR headset. After reinstalling Windows, there was a critical update and I performed that. It's been smooth sailing after that. I cannot get enough of driving games such as assetto Corsa cockpit view looking left and right and tracking it without any lag. You can get totally immersed in the game. Also Robo recall is amazing everybody should try that at least once. I'm playing on an Asus g20cb that is Oculus ready. Ive been uploading videos on my YouTube. Look up Live2Drift to see more.

If vr is your niche, Oculus is the best option.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have the competitors product. Both are fantastic fun, but this beats it at the games that I play. Elite: Dangerous, and Project Cars the two titles I play that are compatible on both devices and give a point of comparison. These game run smoother on the same computer when running this device and the optics are clearer and crisper.

Q: QuestionI currently have a HP Envy AMD RX 480, I5 core, 8GB RAM CPU, and understand that my graphics card can handle it. However, I just don't know how many HDMI or USB ports I need available in order to use the Rift w/o removing other components...
Asked by The007.
- A:Answer You'll need at least 2 USB in addition to the HDMI out. You'll need 3 if you use the touch also. I'm going to experiment with a powered USB hub to see if I can free something up. Right now I only have 4 USB ports to work with.

Q: Questionhow long are the usb cord that connect the occulus to the pc?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer You are looking at about 10 feet. The HDMI cable attached to the Headset and the USB cable both come out of the ends to plug into your computer. You need a few usb 3.0 ports. If you need longer than 10 feet, you can buy an HDMI coupler and use another HDMI cable with the Oculus to join the two. ( I use rocketfish brand from best buy.) and you can also order a 3 foot (or greater) USB 3.0 extension cable to give you a solid 13 feet. This is how I was able to get longer than 10 feet (though 10 feet of cable in the package should be enough for most people.)
