It truly is amazing technology and Rift does a fantastic job in all aspects

You actually feel like you're in them and some of the games are just beautiful and incredible, the technology is amazing.

The concept is great but the technology isn't worth the price.

If there was more good content, I think this technology would be great

But with Touch, the Rift feels like it’s gone as far as its current technology (VR) can manage, and done so with aplomb."Wired - "

I have loved this device so much so far even without the touch remotes, but currently waiting for them to arrive

But please note that it doesn't support nextVR while the cheap VR device they made for Samsung galaxy does

This is a great device for VR experiences, However, I have to say that it was very difficult to make it work

Great device for those with limited mobility but wanting to exercise in an interactive manner.

Too many stiff cables and devices to track of, design needs to be cleaned up for prime time use

Combined with the Touch controllers, this is one of my best purchases ever

A bad purchase.

The *only* cons I can think of:Wired connection to the PC is prone to tangle around you as you play, but if you have someone nearby to help untangle is not a big deal

This has been one of the best purchases I have ever made

And, as much as I love it, it stopped working as of 5/25/17

you got the touch kit) and figuring out the ideal mounting system for your space

every message (George, Alma, Joana, Alice, Norma etc all in 1 ticket!!!) and 3) ditch the customer claiming his system is unsupported, even if the problem is physical and in the Oculus only (e.g.: defective Oculus cable)

n’t want to scratch the lenses.

The system itself is extremely fun and immersive but the only down side is there are not very many games out right now that last long at all, many games are level based which is fun because they do have a good amount of

It's insanely immersive and my favorite video game system so far.

You can't forget you looking at some cheap computer screen

A computer which is powerful enough is required for it to work

Just make sure you have a computer capable to handle this beast.

I made the mistake of lugging my headset and cameras to a friends house and his computer wouldn't work with it

I highly highly recommend this bundle to ANYONE AND EVERYONE who has a computer powerful enough to run VR

The rift provides an immersive experience and got me excited about gaming again

For a first-gen product, Rift is an incredibly polished experience

, my experience with Oculus has been overall frustrating

While the experience is amazing, the overall resolution is just not there yet.

: This is a really great experience and I'm glad I have one

Great product, but twice expensive, buy from Oculus not this bs retailer

but I feel like I have a defective product because it the left eye is red and it gets very hot!

Oculus says it is hardware issue - will not back up their product.

Awesome Product much much better then the previous Oculus

And viewed from that perspective, the Rift is simply not a compelling product

and I can't say the experience was as good as a legitimate VR title

VR is remarkable and for the most part the Rift is worthy of praise.

Limited VR software availability, and what there is, well much of the software is only of

Games that do not support VR are no longer of any interest

I was surprised by how cumbersome VR is to use, especially with the Vive.

Haven't been able to compare with a Vive or anything, but the games are great, the portability is good, and the build quality is solid

Also, when I tried using theater mode to watch movies the movies weren't half bad quality however the virtual seats in front of me were in the way which was phenomenally annoying and making movie watching useless.

I think it's the poor texture quality that doesn't seem to trick my mind into thinking it's real

Bad quality control, got slight red tint, color banding

Quality build, comfortable, the earphones are not in the way and offer good enough sound quality

Truly speaking I love Oculus Rift with touch controllers

Oculus rift I have received is defective, with blank right screen, and I figured out, there are lots of cases like mine

I really like the Oculus Rift, it isn't a bad VR headset by any measure

I love the Oculus Rift and the Touch Controllers are amazing!

The big difference was the Vive was simply more FUN with the Vive Wands; the Rift honestly lost it's 'fun' pretty quickly, especially if you're accustomed to playing on a 1440p screen

However, the Rift is the headset for the rest of us: those yet unwilling to dedicate a room of their house and their best gaming PC exclusively to VR

if you actually care).Comfort: The headset is very comfortable to wear and light

this headset is not worth it without the touch controllers

The headset itself however is quite comfortable and well made.

The HTC Vive is a slightly heavier/bulkier headset, but it seems to be the more durable and longer lasting option

How cool this thing is isn't really something you can explain to someone

The only cool thing about this headset is using something that's starting up

Motion sickness is a real thing, and as a kid I used to get motion sickness in cars, but no longer, however this headset has made me motion sick a couple of times, mostly from games that move far too fast for me at the moment, Warthunder was the biggest issue, but i've seen it with Dreadhalls and Eve Valkyrie

Before getting the Rift, the next best thing I had tried was the Gear VR.Although that is amazing

It was the most backwards ridiculous thing I've ever installed on my PC.After all that though it works fine

The clear winner is the Oculus, by 3 pointsInteractive:

I received an Oculus Rift headset as a gift, hence no "Verified Purchase" label.

I have tried all the vr headsets now and the oculus is by far the very best.

Hate the stupid messages about my PC not meeting Oculus Rift requirements

Contacting Oculus tech support has proven to be a nightmare as well

the sensor will not work and the Oculus app won't let you launch any games making the headset useless and this product is the only one recommended by Oculus.

"Polished and carefully considered, the complete three-sensor Oculus Rift bests the competition in almost EVERY

It also has a tendency to loose the tracking sensor every 20ish seconds which means the image glitches

"Polished and carefully considered, the complete three-sensor Oculus Rift bests the competition in almost EVERY

I hooked my replacement up and found out that, unfortunately, my Rift still could not detect my Sensor, I contacted customer service - no response for weeks, not a surprise at this point.

If your eyes deviate from this small area even by a small amount, the image becomes blurry

The device is light, fairly comfortable, and has a clear image.

It also lacks the ability to change the distance of the lenses from your eyes, I ended up having to wear the headset very loose to make the lenses sit at a comfortable distance so the image was sharp; I have 20/20 vision for those of you who are curious

Here is why: The way that V.R. Lenses are built they have an optimal focal point or area that your eye needs to be inside in order for the image to not become blurry

The real disappointment was the image quality - its simply not good enough and for me completely breaks any sense immersion.

Oculus support was not helpful and it took me two days must to get the headset to work.

I've also plenty of reports that Oculus has horrible customer support, but I hope it isn't true

Update 3/19/17 -- a lot of reviewers are bitchin' about their systems crashing & crappy support from Oculus...blah, blah, blah...you need to have a robust system built for this thing -- no off-the-shelf WallyMart or BestBug budget computer.

The game has to have native support in order for You to fully enjoy it, so don't hurt Yourself by caring for anything less

Applications bought and played within the Oculus store are relatively easily to launch and play; others, launched from within Steam, while the RIFT is supported, many titles will force you to switch between keyboard, controller, headset on, headset off, over and over

only con I could see is that i had a hard time configuring the sensors at first.

, I had a headache and nausea every time I took off the headset

Well... someone is making a lot of money every time one of these is sold

It has consistently blown my MIND every time I try something new with it

I got a headache the first time I used it but haven't since

Here's my verdict:Pros:-comfortable-very natural-good headphones-good cable length that doesn't tangle-software from Oculus-experiences and games are awesomeCons:-screen is not as sharp-blurry areas, pixels show-can only take an hour or so

And, as much as I love it, it stopped working as of 5/25/17

Finding a good USB C to HDMI adapter has been a hassle the best one so far has been the Bestbuy house brand out of 4 I have tried

The first one I purchased had a bad hdmi cable the screen would flash in and out

So Install Windows 10 on bootcamp and get a good USB C to hdmi and your good to go

After all the constant communication with Oculus to try to rectify the issues, we now found that we ran out of time to return or exchange it from Amazon.

Some gauges in DCS and Project Cars are difficult to read, this being the main area to improve in VR at this time (same issue with Vive).

My ONLY real negative issue with the Rift is that it does not really allow for full 360-degree gaming

Oculus like a 15 dollar Google Cardboard due to its limited functionalities to at least watch "VR" movies or landscapes; the Oculus software has a habit of downloading updates in the background, taking up tremendous bandwidth when it wants to, where it wants to, with no option for you to schedule said unknown patch contents; it was one of these updates that "broke" my software, where the software suddenly came up with a warning "You cannot enter VR due to an unresolved hardware issue", only I went into settings, and all hardware indicators are green, and even my Nvidia drivers were up to date and functional

The Rift posed another issue for spectacle wearers like me.

Its a blast to play but the developers did not do enough r&d to make sure you have a flawless install

The first time I did the Minecraft VR, placed a block and was able to look AROUND and BEHIND the block while still standing in front of it blew my mind.. and that's just a very basic example

It has consistently blown my MIND every time I try something new with it

Overall, the oculus is a great brand new piece of technology that is sure to blow you and your friends' minds with how awesome it can be

The games are still being developed, developers are still figuring out what works poorly, what works well, and what will blow your mind

Had a little bit of motion sickness at first, but it's bearable

You will then need to purchase a Displayport to HDMI adapter but many of them do not work well and are not compatible with either the Rift or with many modern 4K TVs and while they say they can support 4K resolutions at 60 Hz, many cannot

Also, it may not be for you, period, due to motion sickness

Finding a good USB C to HDMI adapter has been a hassle the best one so far has been the Bestbuy house brand out of 4 I have tried

I have not experienced any motion sickness with the supported games for the oculus

Various awesome games are available -- i've spent most of my time in Elite Dangerous and Obduction.

I have played over a thousand hours of Elite Dangerous in the the CV1 and the DK2, and it's easily my favorite go-to VR game

I just about fell out of my chair the first time I tried turning in Elite Dangerous

My favorite game is the space simulator Elite Dangerous - but you will need a HOTAS for that game to fully enjoy it (I recommend the ThrustMaster T16000).

Elite Dangerous is a different game with this piece of kit.
