So that's a no then.
I have 360 tracking with two sensors (set up in less than a couple of minutes), and apart from a using a couple of USB extension cables (non issue), none of your criticisms apply to me and plenty of others.
The things you listed aren't required essentials.
Not sure why you're being so toxic, or why you feel the need to **** on a competing product with zero experience of it, but you do whatever makes you feel better about your purchase.
Personally, I think it's a great thing that these price drops are making it easier for more people to get into VR and it doesn't matter which headset they get.
What isn't great is the usual elitist BS...

I own both, not had a problem with either of them. I cant believe they both weigh the same rift feels much lighter maybe its because vive is front heavy.
You're doing it wrong, you can't like both! One has to be better than the other!! Get out of this thread, and take your sensible reasoning with you!!!

Its better than the stock strap but it still puts quite a lot of pressure on my forehead so after a long session my face aches. The rift on the otherhand is so comfy I can forget I have it on.
Your right one is better at certain games than the other, and the other is better at certain games than the other also.You're doing it wrong, you can't like both! One has to be better than the other!! Get out of this thread, and take your sensible reasoning with you!!!

Wonder if the price of the deluxe head strap will drop now that the vive itself is cheaper.

We can dream, it seems saner to sell my Vive and buy a Rift than buy the headstrap and coming controllers. If I hadn't bought on release I'd be jumping on the Rift right now, no question.

Oh please. Rift users go ballistic at the mere insinuation of their device being subpar in any department. Get off your high horse.

Please continue to rely on toxic ad hominem, rather than actually respond to what's been said.
If you can't stand hearing things that don't match with your opinion, perhaps internet forums aren't for you.

But, that's not what you do. You completely exaggerate all the issues that the Rift has, even going so far as to call it a dead device and that you wouldn't recommend anyone waste money by buying one.
Many are clearly trying to justify their purchase by constantly spewing the same rhetoric about Facebook.
Whether you like it or not, Oculus pioneered VR, and Facebook brought it to the mainstream with the recent Summer Sale. They continue to show love to developers by funding innovative projects, and consumers benefit from first party exclusives that fully utilize the platform.
The walled garden argument is something of a contradiction, because Steam is just glorified DRM. Besides, I've seen many SteamVR games forgo Oculus support, or treat it as an afterthought.
So much for being impartial, eh?

To be fair, many of the smaller devs either have a vive or an oculus to develop on. Seen that said many times in responses in steam forums, a door that swings both ways.
