Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the immersive VR experience and the comfortable design of the Rift Headset, frequently praising its lightweight feel and intuitive touch controllers. However, some users point to the lower resolution and resulting screen door effect as drawbacks, while others mention occasional motion sickness and compatibility issues with certain games or hardware. The available content library is also a point of contention for some customers. Despite these shortcomings, many appreciate the headset's overall performance and value for the price.

    Great start for a new media product. Hopefully a "must have" application or game is developed soon so this gains more traction.

    Awesome VR system, Don't forget to get the Touch controller for the best VR experience. Wilson's Heart, Robo Recall are a must!

    It is fun to play and not too difficult to set up, although a Microsoft update did disable the sensor, and I had to roll back the update to get it working again.

    I'm 49 years old, and I wanted to share with anyone debating about buying an oculus rift, don't hesitate not even a second, if you're lucky enough to see them in stock, buy it. Because it'll be gone and you'll have to wait to be transported to worlds and things you only dreamed about. This new technology brings the most amazing things into your life you'll be so happy. I'm telling everyone. Buy this today!!

    Good visuals, needs more games. The short experiences are good, but full games would be nice. Given that VR is new I think that it will get better with time.

    Painful Setup but Worth It!

    This thing looks outstanding. I can really notice the screen door reduction vs my Gear VR. The mask is very comfortable and quite flexible helping mold to you face while staying put. Few issues with SSE 4.2 compatibility on my end and a major issue when I garbed an in store Insignia USB 3.0 card not comparable with the sensor (that still works?!). After skipping the setups I finally got to enjoy the games. All in all its really incredible to play with and feels like a higher quality device.

    This is one device you have to experience. It is like no other gaming experience. You flinch when something comes at you, you want to move to prevent from getting hit. It really makes your mind feel like you are in the game. Don't judge based on what you see on the monitor with what you see when you put the headset on. It is completely different. You have to try it. And when you do, you'll want to buy one. My only negative is that while many of the games are so fun to play, they are currently in early access. But I look forward to some AAA titles that are upcoming.

    Awesome product. I am very happy with my purchase and given the technology available I don't think Oculus could have made a better product for a person like me. Now keep in mind this product is not for everybody, but really for the enthusiasts that want to see what the future holds before it gets here. Everything works as advertised but the screen could really benefit from being 4K in each eye. The headphones that come included could also be better. The Oculus store is also not the best when compared to Valve, but you can open Steam VR on your Oculus so that is a moot point.

    Bought this to play during thanks giving, had a lot of issues setting it up do to my computer specs but once I was able to it was just some of the best family time. All my relatives loved it, and actually considered buying one themselves. Fair warning, this isn't something you can buy and itll work on any computer. You will need a laptop or pc that is vr ready if your not a pc gamer or hardcore techie. So definetly look into wether you just need to buy a graphics card or an entire computer.

    I am very happy with my purchase of this gaming device. I was reluctant at first due to cost, but got over it in about 1/2 hour after playing. Struggled with downloading games at first but that was due to needing to shut off run time scanning on my virus protection while downloading/uploading. Other than that, amazing experience that doesn't cease to amaze anyone who I have had try it. Even my dad who DOES NOT get into this type of thing was amazed and played for quite some time.

    Have played Dead and Buried, Valkyrie, ISS, Robo Recall, and a couple other titles. I feel this has been my best gaming purchase ever. Runs great on home built system with i7 6700, dual Nvidia GTX 970s in SLI, M2 NVME, and 48 gigs of ram. Everything worked easily right out of the box with minimal fuss. No issues after 2 months of use. Am going to try it on my MSI GT72 Dominator laptop with a GTX980M. Oculus says no, but have read reviews from people who are doing just that.
