Doesn't work

So far I have a $400 ornament. Out of the box, it never worked. I bought a brand new Alienware R11 computer to drive it - Still doesn't work. Bought a different $400 Graphics card - Still does not work. I have been working with support for months. I'll update if they ever figure out why it does not work...
(BTW, While I did not expect it to be plug and play like my Nintendo Switch or Xbox, this is supposed to be mature technology – yet even with my 25 years of computer experience, thousands of dollars of brand new equipment, and over 3 months working with Oculus support, they still cant tell me what the problem is)

I was excited for VR and had high expectations. This exceeds it. I love my Rift. My only complaint is that Oculus is owned by Facebook. It's more versatile that I expected and you aren't locked into only buying from the Oculus store.

Got this unit for my son and he loved it. Make sure your PC meets the requirements to have a smooth and great experience. It is a bit on the pricey side though.

The only reason i didn't give this 5 starts is i haven't figured out how to stop stepping on the video cord. Other than that its a great addition and an immersive experience.

My son absolutely loves this thing. He has totally gotten his use out of it in the two months that he’s had it. There are plenty of games to play but he especially likes to play beat saber. I would recommend this product to anyone looking into getting into VR.

Headset is great but oculus really cares more about the quest then the rift now adays, and considering the quest can play PC games it might be a better choice for some

This thing is awesome if you have the computer for it and have just enough money for it (like me) get it.
I only have one gripe and thats the pupil distance for me isn’t perfect so my left eyes a tad fuzzy but I know it’s a “one size fits all” kinda thing

Expensive, under developed games, but.... super fun. If you wear glasses, buy the prescription inserts or you'll scratch your glasses and the lenses on the unit.

I’m gonna start out by saying you should just get the Oculus Quest. But if you really want ONLY PC VR, then get this. It disconnects sometimes but everything else is great, 8/10.

My son uses it for his pc. Headset is ok but controllers are a little cheap as one of them is cracked and he has owned it for two months. Glad I bought a warranty.

Using the headset was easy, unfortunately the software was clunky and it gave us motion sickness. Using steam for this was a lot easier than the oculus software.

I have played VR with a Windows mixed reality headset, but once I got a rift s this is where it's at. I have never been so blown away by gameplay and mechanics, the immersiveness of the games..
Buy one of these. I promise it's not a gimmick. Absolutely profound device.

Setup was fairly simple. The game worked great. My only other experience with VR was where you slip your smart phone inside a box.
I'm not a gamer so I'm not very experienced. But for a novice, I thoroughly enjoyed being in "another world". I was impressed with how well it worked.

Graphics resolution is better, but only an incremental upgrade. Getting rid of the lighthouse tracking helped save USB ports on my laptop, but does have tracking issues now.

I've seen vidoes on VR headsets, but when you put one on, only then do you see how immersive it is. We bought Vader Immortal and it feels like you are in the Star Wars Universe. From fly over Mussifar to fighting with light sabers. The oculus experience is amazing.
