    I've used this a couple times...it's a fun gimmick but after prolonged wearing (more that 30 minutes watching netflix) it starts to become uncomfortable on my face. I've tried adjusting it, but I don't think the head straps are the greatest..needs more elasticity

    Cool machine. Wished it wasn't so bulky but overall got it for free. Have put it to use a few times. The VR was pretty cool to play with but only for a while. Eyes start to become irritated after a while.

    It is a cool experience but gets old after a while and i did not like that they do not have many free games and all the good ones are around 10 or 15 dollars. I found myself not using it as often as i thought.
