    got this for my child for christmas. initially there was some excitement however upon getting started, looking through the vr looked no different than looking through the cardboard headset. the next problem was after being on for less than five minutes, it got very hot then shut down to never turn on again. needless to say, I returned the product for a better vr set.

    I bought this out of curiosity, but I've barley used it since making the purchase. The product works fine but has limited functionality. You can't move around within a space. More importantly, there is just barely any content available. The most compelling thing is watching Netflix, but i'd rather just watch on my TV.

    Was excited to get my 1st VR GO but after using it for 30 was disappointed with the battery life, even when connected the battery drains faster than the charging.

    I bought two of these and had to return them both. The first one developed an orange dot in the center of the screen and locked up on the load screen. The second one locked up on the load screen three times in one day. After resetting it back to factory specs, totally reloading the information, and setting up the headset twice I decided to return it when it locked up the third time. When the headset worked, it was an enjoyable experience and the programs were easily to navigate and use. If Oculus would fix the locking on the boot screen issue I would purchase the headset again, but I just can't see spending the money they are charging for the headset and it not be usable without resetting and reloading everything.

    Te quality is a little blurry, I had to return the first one and exchange for a new one because the screen gets stuck on a black screen the second one I got does the same just not as often

    I wish there were more games and apps available for this platform. I was a bit disappointed in the video quality, especially when viewing Netflix movies through the headset.

    I do like It, But I think if I had to do it over again I would’ve waited for the next generation to come out. Not as clear or as realistic as I thought it would be lots of apps and games which is cool

    Technology was interesting however it was not engaging in the long term. Also, if you're prone to motion sickness this might not be the best unit for you to buy.

    I loved the device, watching movies especially, but what I didn’t love was that it would over heat and shut down. If it wasn’t for this I would have been happy.

    Who would have thought that I would be meeting up with people via VR rooms but that’s how things are now and I’m glad I have one of these. It’s expensive but it’s fun.

    It’s very cool, but it’s a frustrating gadget. The battery bleeds out very quickly, sometimes even when it’s not plugged in.

    I purchased it as a birthday gift and the remote stopped working in less then 6 months. I would definitely recommend getting the additional protection plan.

    We decided to return it because it hurt our eyes. By the time we were done with it we had headaches. Plus you had to buy a lot of features in order to enjoy anything else.

    Too difficult and instructions not very clear on where to find software. Instructions also not clear on system operation, especially for users with glasses.

    Almost lives up the hype. Does require a Smartphone or PC w/ Oculus app installed for Setup, Updates & Sync. The Built-In Sound Is Impressive and the lens fog is not.

    It's ok for viewing videos and playing the most basic of games, but not very good for games that need more processing power.

    The video was great but after 10 minutes it I would get really hot and shut down. I didn’t get much time to spend playing any apps or videos because it kept overheating, so I returned it and contemplating on whether or not I want to but it again and give it a second chance. Price point was nice And after being excited to get it I was quickly disappointed.

    The controller has issues because it’s an odd touch pad. The images in the VR are a little blurry. The game prices are quite high for what you’re getting.

    This was a gift and used for the novelty. It's fun to use but needs more games or events that do not cost additional dollars.
