rift cv1 worth buying

MaXxBoulton · 26 Feb 2021 at 15:50

Are the older rifts work picking up cheap. I remember seeing that a lot.of older headsets will not be supported soon but can't remember the brand / models

Should add not really for gaming but a little light gaming would be nice.. so support would be key here

It just for group moves and my little sister to play the vr rides and deep sea dive stuff. But the option to play a few grown-up games would be nice.

When I was saying support is key what I mean is i don't want to buy one and next week steam drop support.

What price are you talking about?

135, for full set up, sensors, controllers, unit and all cables.

There going for 200 on the bay for same setup.

Do you have any other options, but not wanting to blow loads to just play with. I won't be going full vr crazy the games I play don't support it

Thanks @Ravenger some good things to take onboard there. If someone was wanting to get into vr what would be the go too budget headset if buying new

I mean an headset to watch videos, and my little sister wants to play a few games and so on but she's only young.

Are these videos on your computer? Or are you talking about Streaming them, like Netflix or Amazon Prime?

By the netflix app.

An Oculus Go would be better, and cheaper if you just want to watch Netflix or movies

How would my sister play basic games on steam with a go? Or is there an app for it.

The Oculus Quest 1 is triple the price of a cv1. I think for now I will pick up a cv1 as it looks to be ok and price is good for someone dipping a toe in the vr pool

Found on for 100 on mm

?? Where are you looking at Quest 1 for £400? Quest 2 is starting at £300, and you can find quest 1s for about £150 I think? There's usually a deal somewhere to get a quest 2 for £280ish new if you're patient, or £250ish second hand.

Show me where to buy a quest 1 please. The only used one I can find is 300. Unless me search was wrong tbf I could find a lot.
I found a cv1 for 100 as a stepping stone to test vr. If we like it and want to do more I will get my 100 back all day long cv1's are getting 175 to 200 on the bay.

Just talking about what I saw when I last checked, might not be available now (sorry). If you can get it for 100 that sounds pretty good, especially if you can straight up get your cash back on it.

Yer I've got one for 106 of the forums, I was going g to pay 135 to a lad a know and I've seen them sell for 200 on ebay
