What did you get?Wow really impressed by the tech!
Anyone know which one is better for wearing glasses?
Vive can play Rift games via reVive, no?Rift
More comfortable controllers
Slightly better headset (and much more professional looking as well)
Ability to play most Vive games as well as all Rift games whereas the Vive can only play Vive games
Less expensive
Vive
A larger roomscale experience if you have a large room to set it up properly
A nicer company overall, they don't lock Rift users out of their games and from personal experience an year ago, the Rift had very shitty customer service
Imagine 2018 or 19.Any talk about when the second gen headsets will be announced?
I'm pretty happy so far, but I would love some recommendations.
Imagine 2018 or 19.
What improvements can we expect on second gen devices?
What is the BEST VR experience out there right now? What are the best controllers, gadets ... which one has the best games?
I just cant decide which one to get... help me GAF
From what I understand, neither PC solutions are particularly great for glasses. The Rift isn't super comfortable with glasses compared to contacts, but I'm ok with it.
As I've said earlier, at the current price difference, there is zero reason to get Vive over Rift (unless you really hate Luckey, I guess), especially when the current hardware, namely the very important Touch controllers, are much superior to the Vive's implementation.

TPCast is another $150 (and coming to Rift), Knuckles is more money (and we don't have any idea how the implementation is going to be), and Fallout 4 isn't out yet, plus may not even be a good port for what we know. The Rift bundles at least one excellent game in Robo Recall and even adding another camera for room scale is cheaper than the default Vive.Thats not true though about zero reason, because Vive is due to receives more frequent hardware improvements albeit this mean you have to spend more. For example, Vive is getting wireless module via TPCast now, and the knuckle controller is just around the corner. But honestly both are having extremely great deals. Oculus Rift is packing lots of free softwares but HTC Vive now comes with a free Fallout 4 VR.
Ill just hope the deluxe headstrap is a standard pack in soon though
Vive's tracking quality is quite a bit better than Rift

I'm not arguing with you, as we actually seem to be on the same page. It's just as you said, you're spending $200 more on the Vive to be able to spend more money on other unproven parts down the line.
Yeah really felt my legs after 1 hour game is intensive.Pulled an ass muscle playing robo recall, game is a lot of fun. Enjoy your rift.
YupIs sit down VR actually an option?
Sweet. I'll try to grab a Rift during Black Friday.
Rift:
+ Package of entire set is much much smaller then Vive, making it much more mobile - when you want to bring to work place for instance like recently in my case
+ Lighter
+ Much less cables - basically you plug the sensor(s) (USB) and the headset (USB + HDMI). Thats it - I remember for Vive there was much more devices, cables etc. Not to mention that you had to have sort of stands for bases.
+ Much more space inside headset - I am easily putting Oculus with my glasses on, while for Vice I had to take them of, and barely push them inside the headset - very often Glasses where squeezed that much that glass fell off the frames.
+ I had Vive like 6 months ago, but my memories are telling me that field of view was smaller, so my guess is that Oculus covers more view - especially vertically.
- I hate that there is no option to remove headphones, as I prefer to use my much greater quality headphones, so I need to bend them drastically so to be able to put mine.
The headphones on the Rift? You can absolutely remove them. Its super simple to do too. Instructions are on the website, but the Rift should have come with this black screwdriver looking thing. You use that to unscrew them off.
anyone got some more tips for good vr games.

I hear Lone Echo is currently the must have for a AAA VR experience. Also check out Batman: Arkham VR, Edge of Nowhere, and Wilsons Heart. Arktika 1 came out recently too.

Oculus first party exclusives are really good imo
And can be played perfectly on the Vive.
The reason why i picked rift is cause facebook owns it.Sure they can, but unless you are getting a major discount I am not sure why you would buy a Vive over a Rift at this point.
If you are really interested in the Bethesda games you may want to go Vive because we don't know if they will work properly on the Rift, but probably worth it to wait and see.
