Places to try Vive/Oculus?

[Colzy]

I'm pretty keen on trying the Vive/Rift, however I would prefer to give it a go than lumping £700 on an unknown. I did try the Gear VR and whilst incredible, the res was simply too low for something I'd buy.

I'm nowhere near the trial sites I've seen (like OCUK) down in Bristol, and I haven't even seen one in London (I'll be there next month). Anyone know if there is a list or places to 'try before you buy'? google seems remarkably unforthcoming.

Cheers

Edit - Oh dear just seen you've tried the Gear VR.

What about a Samsung Experience Store? They might be worth a try, I'm guessing they would have Gear VRs available for trial but don't know for sure.

Thanks anyway!

Sorry I meant Gear VR - a friend brought it over. I was very impressed with the experience but not the grainy resolution, so I'm keen to try the 'proper' stuff as I've heard from some the res still isn't really enough.

That said, I know my rig is at the minimum for Vive/Oculus at present.
