Been on the fence about VR

I was going to wait a while before I got a headset. I was too torn between whether to get a Rift or a Vive and was worried about not having enough room for it in my current flat. But after being unable to sleep tonight and reading through some of the posts on this forum, I thought to hell with it, I'll order a rift! So I've just ordered one

thanks to you guys for helping me make my mind up and thanks to Paypal for deeming me worthy of credit haha. Can't wait.

Nice, thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't even thought of doing that. Just ran the compatibility tool and I'm good to go

now will be browsing the oculus store shortly!

Got my Rift yesterday... It's absolutely incredible. Still haven't really played much of anything apart from Superhot; that's definitely my favourite game for it so far. I've showed it to two female friends who don't even play games and they were equally astounded, and then I had my dad round tonight and he told me it was one of the most amazing experiences he's ever had in his life. I don't think he's wrong either... I've already punched a clothes horse by straying just ever so slightly out of my playzone. I've tried to rest my arm on a concrete wall in game forgetting that there wasn't anything actually there.

The part where you are required to "prove your dedication" by walking off the edge of a skyscraper... I actually was too hesitant to take the step forward. Then when I did fall off (pushed off?) I actually freaked out a bit while I was falling.

You really do feel transported to another world. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

Had my rift at Christmas I was the same, the demo with the robot was amazing already spent £300+ on games. I just need to get rid of one of my children and turn a bedroom into a vr room lol.

Haha! I had to rearrange my bedroom and turn my bed 90 degrees in order to get a still quite small play area. Told my girlfriend about an hour ago I needed to invest in a narrower bed to increase the play area further still. She didn't see the funny side
