Hearing plenty of frustrations using it. If it was as good as it is in that video I would move form waiting for v.2 to buying now. Does it really reach these highs when everything is working right?

If I ever get it
And it works with Elite: Dangerous

Then I will be happy...

as the optics definitely add artifacts such as the SDE which is ever present

How 'ever present' is the SDE?

I've read some reviews which say you don't notice it after a while. Do you get used to it?

I preordered the Vive so I could get it early and have a couple of weeks with it before I started my new job. However I start it next week and won't be able to devote much time to gaming over the next couple of months.

I've still not received my Vive and I'm tempted to cancel the order. Partially this is due to starting my job, but the more I read about the Rift the more I'm tempted to get one of those in a few months.

Should I cancel the Vive or is it worthwhile me waiting for the delivery and then reselling it if I don't get on with it?

Id stick with the Vive Krat, demand for that is higher it seems and the backlog is still going to be months so you have fair chance to resell it.

You might make a profit but its not guaranteed and I wouldn't be planning on doing it for that reason, but its reasonable to expect you will definitely be able to get your money back on it

Cheers, I'll probably do that. I'm not keen on buying something with a view to selling it on - on principle I'd rather cancel and then and let someone who wants one jump up the waiting list.

But I think I'll get it and see how I get on with it. There's always the fallback position of resale...

Guys I want to buy a vive, however do I have to set up the whole room?
Only want it for elite dangerous, not the activities part

Is the Vive the best choice for Elite : Dangerous? I've heard a few comments saying that the Rift is better in comparison.

I've got the Vive and mainly play Elite : Dangerous with it, but but I was having some second thoughts about not buying a Rift (not based on direct experience though...)
