Yes (from my limited experience with VR (recd Sat) you can do it facing front. After ducking around and doing little shimmys to the side etc (I have a small space too but the Guardian is great) I thougt I hadnt really turned around but when i took my headset off i was not facing the front anymore lol! Total immersion lol!

Well, if I wasn't facing front anymore... I'd be risking punching walls or shelves... So quite literally I wouldn't want to even move my feet I suspect!

Robo recall I think at times you need to be able to turn around as the robots come at you from behind...unless you warp around to avoid being hit...
I would not be able to do that
ie: If I rotated say 90 degrees, putting an arm out to the side would risk hitting a wall.

Certainly with Robo Recall, I would recommend having some room to throw your arms around and turn slightly - If you turn 180, it asks you to turn back towards to the sensors (Unless you have a 360 degree setup).
My dad tried Robo Recall last night, and when one of the smaller spider bots came close to him, he tried to kick it away and full on kicked the **** out of the front of my PC case
Fortunately, my Define R5 is built incredibly well, and survived without any damage 
The Guardian System is good, but you do end up turning 90 - 180 degrees when playing, as bots come at you from all angles. If you get good at teleporting, you could possibly get away with it, but it gets intense at times!

I tried an experiment. There's a small sweet spot in the middle of my study where I can put my arms out (within reason) and turn through 360 degrees. But it's a small sweet spot!
And that would be with my arms probably being over my desk slight too... (But obviously that's well down below waste level).

Yes, yes you do
You sure? Doesn't list it on their site and a couple of news articles seem to think it's removed
It is still mentioned in OCUKs description and on another big retailer however.

Looks like if you go direct then you'll get the new single box bundle, so no controller or remote.You sure? Doesn't list it on their site and a couple of news articles seem to think it's removed

Well I can only go by what I had in the box with my rift that I got last week.You sure? Doesn't list it on their site and a couple of news articles seem to think it's removed

Just came to order and I notice the OC page doesn't mention the XBox wireless controller or remote? - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ulti...t-and-oculus-touch-controllers-vr-003-or.html

Ordered a oculus yesterday from their website but still had no confirmation on shipping anyone in the same boat?
Great suggestions, thank you
But apart from the lack of a wireless xbox one controller and a remote, is the new bundle otherwise the same?
Ie no differences in software/games included etc?
And how much do people even use the wireless xbox gamepad? Seems no one uses the remote.

That's useful thanks.
And there's no software/games that was in the previous bundle that isn't in the new one?
If so I'll just order the new bundle...
