Hello All,
Just turned 65 and purchased the Rift yesterday from the main site as I cannot get one in the UK due to the high demand. I have always wanted one but not at the high price and this new price makes more sense. Have only read about the hardware but am looking forward to setting it up and trying it out even though I don't like change. Have been a gamer for a long time mostly into Flight Sims and driving games (I do not drive, but have a bus pass he he he). I love the 3d in films and have a highend 4k tv and the 3d is superb much better than in our local fleapit, unfortunatly the makers of the tvs and players have now removed the 3d from them, so I won't be purchasing either again but luckily at the moment I can easily get the 3d films until the film companies call it a day . I ordered the Oculus yesterday and would like to think that it will be delivered by the middle of next week but due to the high demand it maybe longer.
Those are 2 genres where VR really shines. Keep in mind that you're going to take a hit when it comes to resolution, but that is massively outweighed by the sense of actually being inside of a car/plane/spaceship/whatever! Play a racing game or flight sim in VR, and it will feel like a totally scaled back experience if you go back to a monitor.Have been a gamer for a long time mostly into Flight Sims and driving games
Hi, Thanks for your replies guys and it would be nice if the package or packages turn up sooner, I only mentioned 3d tv because as I understand the Rift is like watching in 3d. I have a 1080ti Graphic card and an I7 6700k processor which should give me lots of oomph. I build my own and have done over the past 40 years get a lot of pleasure using something I built from scratch. As well as the Flight/Driving sims I love all other games except role-playing (The Witcher is exempt as its brilliant). One of the best is Euro Truck Simulator 2 which I have had since its release and still play it. Question when I dowload the Nvidia drivers I only use the basic drivers will I have to use the 3d steroscopic part now?.
No, the nVidia 3d drivers have nothing to do with the Rift, you can safely ignore them.Question when I dowload the Nvidia drivers I only use the basic drivers will I have to use the 3d steroscopic part now?.
How are people watching movies on it though?
Hehe, me too. When all the robots turn round and stare at you the 'oh ****' factor is huge.The first few minutes of robo recall scared the hell out of me!
Haha yep! Showing my wife the new purchases was the best moment so far. I chose the robo recall intro lol.Hehe, me too. When all the robots turn round and stare at you the 'oh ****' factor is huge.

They've been selling out all over the place. They're being replaced with a single box version that doesn't contain the gamepad or remote, so if you can still find that original bundle, snap it up.Is that still available? Looks out of stock?
