    My son received this headset for Christmas. Best Buy’s website says it’s only compatibility connection required is a USB 3. Absolutely false!!! This device requires a Display Port or mini Display Port connection. Additionally Best Buy employees told me I could use a Display Port to HDMI adapter. This adapter does not exist and cannot exist. I have ZERO confidence in the employees at Best Buy. We ended up getting the HTV Vive and my son is ecstatic. And buyer behavior. The Rift has so many positive reviews because it’s owned by Facebook
