tried echo again today and still completely rubbish! Ah well, the single player looks really good.

And still don't know who johnny live is??

I'm pretty rubbish as well but I still really enjoyed it. I think it could be cool to get us all together as a team when the full release it out and be rubbish together

I think I managed to get the disc once before rudely being punched in the head, after that I was failing around like a dying goldfish.

How much space do you need for it?

Not loads, but it helps to be able to lunge to the side to grab a disc that is being thrown past you. And yes to the team idea!

I think this is a bit like rocket league in that it has a lot of repeatability and a skill curve. Probably the first VR game where I thought I could play it long term

Gah, i finally went to the only shop in Glasgow that had a rift to try one before buying, and they said Oculus took it back off them.

Loads of CV1's going on eBay for roughly £450 with touch controllers, really tempted. That said the Vive is going for just over £500...

Which would you guys go for if buying again?

Space is an issue for me and I'll be setting it up the living room and would rather not have sensors everywhere so the Mrs doesn't nag me!

If you are mainly going to be sitting or standing then get the Rift. If you are planning to go for a full-room setup then get the Vive.

Or get a 3rd sensor and do full room like me

plus until the new vive controls come out , the current ones are no where near as good as touch (I have rift and vive) , plus I find rift more comfortable and clearer

I use the 3rd sensor setup myself, but out of the box I would pick the Vive for room-scale as you don't need to faff with so many USB ports. The lighthouse system is also a more elegant solution than the cameras.

I agree there, I would definitely wait until the knuckle controllers come out tho

Gladly, will do a wee video for you to get a better look. And yes, VR face from robo recall made my missus think I had hit my forehead on something.
