this thing is great

Also, look at how often things just goes wrong with the initial setup

There are a bunch of free things to download to get you started, and I think I’ve spent around $60 for 7-8 games so far

Its the coolest thing

This thing is amazing!

We love this thing!

I've been both in IT my whole adult life, and a lifelong gamer, but I've never been much for gimmicky things with video games

This thing is amazing

This thing is just so amazing, I can't bring myself to ding it with this cable issue.

I also use an app called Bigscreen (which is free) and it is the coolest thing for watching movies or TV

And this is absolutely my favorite thing

One thing I didn't expect, you will sweat and work your butt off in some games

This thing seriously was a pain to setup in my case; much more than it should have been (was apart of the "Wave 2" crowd that got theirs in May

After about ~20 hours of use, I can tell you that I don't regret a damn thing

This is very unnatural thing to do

Best thing I have ever used it was easy to set up and very fun WORTH IT

Now, of course putting your face up against the narly side of Velcro is not the most comfortable thing so using some spare Velcro I had at

Honestly, the best thing you can do while contemplating ordering a Vive is to go to the Microsoft Store and request a demonstration.

and it's the coolest thing you're going to experience in relation to gaming.

The resolution is simply too low, things are blurry and set up is always finicky

I love this thing

The most amazing thing ever

The only decent thing on it is the tracking system, which can be a pain in the ass to set up, because they literally give you 0 explaination as how it actually works

Wow thing is freaking amazing...takes patience to set up but well worth the wait.

One of the most incredible things i've ever seen.

no issues, love this thing

Your cheeks and head will hurt after extended use because it's not the most comfortable thing to wear for extended periods, but the tracking is just amazing

This thing is absolutely amazing!

There is a lot of good things to say about the Rift, but Room Scale made all the difference in the world (and, to be frank, some shady moves made by Oculus/Facebook...)

But these are small things and don't really bother me

10/10 favorite thing I've bought in years.

wow this is the coolest thing i love this thing so worth the money i am glad i got

Worst thing I've ever gotten

You can render a higher resolution which will in turn created smoother lines with text and edges, and make things look much clearer.

This thing is really awesome, however it's also really expensive

I’ve heard good things about these and can’t wait to try them.

stupid(because I've bought some stupid things); but I still think it's inherently very dangerous.

That being said, both products are still first generation, so like all technology, the longer you wait the better things will get

BEST THING EVER

I can only hope that things get better with time.

Greatest thing ever

Best thing ever

One of my favorite things has been letting other people experience and watching their reactions

I've heard great things about Raw Data too, but my number one recommendation is Audioshield then Job Simulator

The thing is unshareable with anyone, because it takes hours to figure out how to get the damn thing to fit on your face right, and if you give it to someone else, they will mess it up

I love this thing

This thing is absolutely amazing

The thing is unshareable with anyone, because it takes hours to figure out how to get the damn thing to fit on your face right, and if you give it to someone else, they will mess it up

I think it is worth the money to buy it, it has gotten me way more active while still enjoying the things I love to do

If I had to pick a negative, I'd say it should have some kind of ventilation in the headset, as I think I steam up the lenses when things get intense.

This thing is really awesome, however it's also really expensive

This honestly has to be one of the coolest things I've ever encountered

My husband however, has partaken of the Kool-Aid and he thinks it's the 'greatest thing ever.

The last thing you want to see when you return is a sink full of dishes, dirty laundry, clutter or anything that would cause you disappointment

Closer or further, things get fuzzy

Do I love this thing

I caught myself having that feeling that you got when you first when to Disneyland as a kid: things seem impossible and fantastic at the same time.

It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve ever purchased!

Love this thing.

no issues, love this thing

For where we are with consumer tech this thing is pretty fun.

I’ve only had this system a week so far, but hyperbole aside, this is easily the best thing I’ve bought in the last 10 years.

i noticed that the USB cable was very loose where it attaches to the headset port, as i wiggled the cable the headset would come to life but as soon as i tried to move it so i could wear it the thing went dead again, i did not want to mess trying to put pieces of paper and other things to secure the cable to the port as other have done ( this seems to be a common problem as i found out later searching for this problem

I hear getting an RMA is the most difficult thing in the world from HTC

Some things aren't as good however, e.g. weight of headset (kills my old neck after a half an hour), ocular clarity and lack of focus adjustment, headset ventilation, and limited library of titles

This thing is amazing

This is probably the best thing I have ever purchased.. I love my VIVE!

This thing is amazing

Believe the hype and don't hesitate this thing is so mind blowing and cool.

This thing is amazing

This is by far the coolest thing i have ever been apart of in my LIFE!

The one thing do not like is that (and this sounds like it is just my unit for some reason

may the thing broke

This thing blew my mind.

After about ~20 hours of use, I can tell you that I don't regret a damn thing

Possibly the stupidest thing I've ever seen three thousand dollars wasted on.****Update****10/26/16My great nephews aunt tried it(shes around 30 years old), got vertigo,literally dove out of the safe-boundary grid and smashed a 9 inch dent in the wall with her

The experience this thing is capable of is AWESOME, but we just don't have the software to match the hardware.

This thing has renewed my love for gaming again

, I finally got the damn thing to work

it was the the most glorious thing ever.

Most futuristic thing I've ever purchased

I love this thing

Without trying one you cant really grasp just how amazing things feel

The Lab" which is free from Steam for this is so full of amazing games and things to explore that you really don't even need to buy anything extra right off the bat, and even if you did, you could then switch over to the free Google Earth app and spend hours and hours exploring with that!Clearly this is not a headset for the thinnest of budgets, but it is SO worth it if you can afford it

I love this thing and use it daily.

The first game I tried was a haunted house type thing that was free in the Vive store

This thing is amazing easy to set up and pair the controllers and not bad on the price to get you into the VR game

The most annoying thing was waiting for the vr software and then games to download

The really cool thing is that the game will enhance the controller, adding buttons and information to them, that doesn't exist in reality.

Best thing out there!!!

they were just the most awesome high-tech thing you've ever experienced in your short life as a kid.

Also, this thing is built like a tank!

The best thing it was good for was a portable screen for a portable DVD player.

Lets just say, things can get pretty funny in the end when we can all physically do stuff with our hands

Should I have to spend an hour on the phone with support just to get a free VR game that was supposed to come with my $800 VR platform after spending two hours installing and setting up the damn thing and creating an htc account when I already had a steam account

the thing is an absolute piece of junk the head strap broke in the first few minutes what a waste of money they should be ashaed to charge sooo much for such cheap junk.

This thing should be easy to setup out of the box; nothing extra needed.

it's hard for me to recommend to the average consumer, especially with the current price ($800, not counting the beast of a computer you need to run it).That being said, this is easily the coolest thing I've ever owned

First and foremost there is no telephone support--maybe that is a good thing because their English language articulation is inferior to their written language skills

But alas, there are negatives:Firstly, you really need to buy the deluxe audio strap to enjoy this thing

Unbelievable, this is the coolest thing ever

The bad thing is the still have the page falsely advertised as giving away fallout 4, don’t be fooled.

The only bad thing is the rays when there’s a white light but that’s not even a problem.

The Vive is truly one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced, and people love to try it out at get togethers

One of the best things I have bought

But this is the coolest thing since I first got a Nintendo when I was 8 years old

Best thing my father bought in all life!

Then all of a sudden the stupid things people do while in love begins to make sense

I did everything on my end to make the base station work as I don't like returning things especially something that I really really wanted to enjoy with friends

But only bad thing is it is too heavy on my head.

Yeah, this thing is seriously cool

things will inevitably crash, it's possible it might be hardware related (in my case and HDMI cable shorted) but despite all that I would still give this thing 10*

I’ll probably do an actual measurement at some point, but things look fine for now.

The main bad thing about it is poor graphics due to low resolution and poor plastic lenses.

I have all the same positive things to say that the other reviews have already noted (extra shout out to the incredible tracking

This thing is unreal!

This requires the occassional power cycle to bring things online and working correctly

God help, the amount of time it takes to get it back, i haven't heard good things about that as well

It's impossible to verbally explain how awesome this thing is....it really takes you into another world!!

This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen

This thing is absolutely fantastic

Text was extremely difficult to read in most situations, and things became more blurry the farther from the center of the screen you looked

This might be the best thing I have ever purchased.

When those were over she told me that this was the most amazing thing she’s ever seen.

Another thing I had fun with was a free to play roller coaster sim

My son loves this thing

The best thing i always start off when showing new people the world of VR is "Richie's Plank" which hilarious to watch with a group of people/family

Not to be missed!One of my favorite things now though, is to step into a world that I have created in

This thing is a pain to set up

And a sick laptop to make sure the entire thing is portable!

I have literally, never in my life, loved a drunk purchase like I've loved this thing.

One of the best things I have ever purchased!

Unbelievable, this is the coolest thing ever

One of the coolest things I have built.

All the teens in the house love this thing!

Fantastic I love it
