Customer reviews
Either you're a massive fan of VR and are fortunate enough to be able to jump in now with regard to the current cost of the headsets and a suitable machine to be able to use them on or you're sitting on the fence prepared to wait for the next evolution or for the price to fall in months to come. I completely understand stand points but personally have been a fan of VR for years, way back when you could definitely pick all the pixels out on the screens just millimetres from your eyes! There are issues, yes you do get god rays or whatever you want to call them from white lights against a black background being magnified inside a small dark casing and yes if you look hard enough you can fault the resolution - you have to look pretty hard. With the flaws out of the way which I am sure will be improved in future iterations due to lessons learnt and better magnification lenses they are truly incredible. I run the rift on a gaming laptop - the MSI GS43VR - which is capable of running most games in Ultra resolution and it is stunning. To be able to put on a headset and be in a formula Renault single seater race car on just about any track in the world then minutes late be piloting a space shuttle in a dog fight somewhere in the cosmos is an exceptionally immersive experience. Nothing compares to this from what I have experienced in gaming and if you are sitting on the fence but haven't actually tried out the Rift yet, do it then make up your mind.I went for the Rift over the HTC Vive mainly due to the fact that the Rift seems to have the better support from developers. The Oculus store is great too, its a much simpler UI than using steam when in VR and works very well. You can always buy your games on Steam though and open them up from your desktop, launching them into VR to save time. I like the look of Oculus touch too, much more than I do the wands that come with the vive and PS VR. For me, most of my gaming in VR is going to be done either seated or standing but without wanting to walk around the room so the vive was unnecessary. In fairness however, I have not tried the Vive headset so cannot give you a direct comparison but made my choice on the above and am glad I did so.

the FOV needs to be made bigger and the resolution better but in the market against the Vive and PSVR
