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.

    Love this. Comfortable and easy to use. They need to develop more games. Right now the pickings are pretty slim.

    If you're interested in VR, it's an awesome device. Be aware that you will need a capable computer as well.

    Loving This Thing

    I recently purchased it and played a few games but loving it so far, so people I guess expect too much if that said it's not great or overated. What do you expect from the first mainstream model. Yes, it's expensive but it's worth it. I do not have the touch controls but I ordered them so I can't imagine home much better the experience will be. I highly recommend!

    Just make sure you have the USB ports necessary to run this thing. Also it doesn't work on most laptops.

    I really enjoy the Rift and am glad I purchased it. I have only had it several weeks so I am still gaining experience with it but I have found that gaming with the Rift is far better than with just a monitor. You do need a good PC to run the Rift and I have a 6700k and 1080TI and have had no issues. I was on the fence about purchasing it due to the cost but now have no regrets. Many are purchasing high end monitors that cost much more than the Rift but I consider the Rift a better addition to my gaming.

    While I did a lot of research between the two I ultimately decided to wait on the Vive. I really wanted to see if VR was something that I was going to want to get into and I believe it is. I feel that both systems can deliver the quality that they promise but I do feel like Vive has the better technology out of the two. So far no complaints from this system tho would recommend getting if you want the cheaper one of the two.

    When you first try this it is pretty amazing because it's a totally new experience. But that feeling fades very quickly when playing the games available. Often made me feel sick and the games available get boring very quickly. The price on this is way too high for the actual game play and there is a screen door effect when playing. The excitement about VR will probably die out just like 3D TV did.

    Setup is Insane

    Setting this thing up is a nightmare. Make sure you have a ton of empty space with no obstacles or the sensors are going to make you regret your purchase.

    If you never tried VR before I would highly recommend it. I prefer the Oculus over the Vive.
