...I am ashamed Im dropping such long links.
While not impossible, I don’t think this represents any form of evidence. You also have a Vive headset, Vive controllers, and Vive base stations. The reason you’d specify “headset” in the product name is that it’s not a complete system. People need to be aware that they’re buying the headset only, and need to own or buy the base stations etc. separately.

Sure. The parts I used (I removed my affiliate links)
More info: http://360rumors.com/oculus-quest-battery-pack-extends-battery-life-improves-comfort/
Amazon UK has 160 for the Rift headset.
The problem is that this is a new SKU (the Rift and Touch in the same box), and thus under Amazon rules has to have separate reviews.
HTC Vive - $499
Oculus Rift - $419
Samsung Odyssey - $498
Lenovo Explorer - $275
Keep in mind most bundles don't come with a monitor so you could use an old monitor or just hook up to a TV (if you're only really going to use for VR), or else a cheap monitor can be had for $100. All these machines could also be made significantly faster by adding an SSD for as little as $80-150 (whether at the outset or at some point in the future).
https://www.oculus.com/rift/ Should be up now.
EDIT: - Also up on amazon.

For 150 more you can get an oculus rift, futuristic controllers that track the movements of your hands, and 7 free games. I would stay away from the one you linked.
> neither is comfortable to wear for extended periods without needing to adjust or take breaks
I don't know for the Vive, but I can play Eleven for hours without a problem on the Rift.
> Oculus is a little bit cheaper
Oculus Rift + Oculus Touch Bundle is at $598 and HTC Vive is at $799.99 on amazon, that a $200 difference, not a little bit cheaper.
> it's a little bit better looking, and it's a little bit more comfortable. Don't exaggerate the differences.
It's $200 cheaper and by your own admission better looking and more comfortable. If we were talking about any other products like phones or laptops there would be a clearly superior product here. Funny how it does not translate to VR.
$194 for headset and controllers on Amazon
Yeah, I don't actually recommend it unless you have a lot of disposable income. Valve was going for "highest quality VR experience available" and not "affordable". If you want a good VR headset on a reasonable budget, you probably want a Rift S($399), a used Vive ($400), or an Odyssey Plus( $349).
Vive and Odyssey plus have a better refresh rate. Vive is the hardest to set up, but has the most robust hand tracking, followed by the Rift S, followed by the Odyssey plus, which have progressively narrower zones of hand tracking. The Odyssey plus does have the nicest screen in terms of resolution of all three, so that's a significant advantage.
Oh, and don't get the Rift S if you have unusually widely or narrowly set eyes. The lack of hardware IPD adjustment really sucks for the far ends of the bell curve there.

No advantage to buying the parts individual though.
> and little things like mounts for the sensors, or a PCI card for all the USB's.
Does everbody need this? No. People can decide this on their own. I thought having a choice was a good thing? You can configure the Rift the way you want it. If you don't need it all, you can save some money.
https://www.oculus.com/rift/accessories/?locale=en_US you can order a new face interface from oculus direct or go with an aftermarket for more from VR cover https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Facial-Interface-Replacement-Comfort/dp/B0798L3671/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=vrcovers&qid=1556566014&s=gateway&sr=8-6.

Same for the Rift S page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PTMKYS7
​
I checked the Amazon page DAILY for the Rift S and it pops up everytime. It's probably down as it's being updated , hopefully we get a launch tomorrow !
Well my pre-ordered Rift is due to arrive tomorrow, so it's not a worry for me.
Before Brexit it was priced at £799 - so they added £100 on. Also, they claim the recommended price is £1299! That would be about $1,689 at post-Brexit rates and $2,117 at normal rates. EDIT - and I have just looked and they are sold out (they had 5). Edit of edit - no, they now have 9...

I saw one used for demo in a "New Tech" shop (opened but never plugged in) for £400 last week and was sorely tempted - so glad I didn't bite.
For Amazon remove the "/gp/aw" part of the url, so like this:

Rift + Touch is $600 :)
I have an oculus rift and i sweat like a bandit, but i use VR cover for it as well as a bandana like this to the top of my head and my ears, headband
Cant find one? They're in stock here on the official amazon.ca listing.'
You're welcome.
Just found a Prime Day deal for the Vive Pro starter kit, save $200 (still $899.99). https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Virtual-Reality-System-Starter/dp/B07NQ9GXRC/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=steam%2Bindex%2Bvr&qid=1563234128&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1
Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone looking at a Vive! I'm keeping my eye on VR prices because I want one, but the prices are still more than I'm willing to spend. From what I've been researching, I think I'm gonna get the Steam Index as opposed to any of the other ones.
Not true, the one I see on amazon is $899 with base stations and controllers. It's a full kit. https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Virtual-Reality-System-Starter/dp/B07NQ9GXRC/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=htc+vive&qid=1563196542&s=videogames&sr=1-4
Rift S too:

I guess the games have value to certain people otherwise the Oculus rift S can be bought new from Best Buy or Amazon for $399.

I highly recommend these AMVR grips for the controllers.
https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=AMVR+oculus+controller+grips&qid=1571092419&sr=8-1
The AMVR cover is also very nice and comfy when using the thick one.

I have no idea what Axe One is yet you don't need to get the Mamut grips as there are other options. I have the AMVR style grips and they are great. Cheaper too.

Amazon Germany
Amazon France
I have ordered this one, figured one that fits the GearVR might be close enough. We shall see...
JSVER Gear VR Case EVA Hard Travel Storage Carrying Protective Bag for Samsung Gear VR
I'll have to point out this is a bad offer. All 3 items cost $660 new together. You pay $15 extra for used condition. And the Touch controllers come with free games that go to the first person that uses them. So you miss out of 4 free games, get used condition, and pay $15 more.
Here is a link to Amazon for a bundle of the same items, new, and with 4 free games for less: https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Rift-Virtual-Reality-Headset/dp/B072F64645/?th=1
I don't know if this was intentional but you need to lower your price.
Also, you never took a timestamped picture of the items with your username, which is required.
The product page originally said HDMI. I preordered in April and it said HDMI and NOTHING about a DisplayPort. The Amazon UK description STILL says HDMI.
https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset-pc/dp/B07PTMKYS7/

its just as good
Same for Rift S
Grips, the battery casings on the Oculus Touch controller are attached via magnet and come off easily if you're playing games with fast movement like Beat Saber. Also, it lets you let go of the controller without dropping them like the Valve Index Controllers which is a nice QoL improvement of being able to let go after hours of playing.
I recommend the AMVR versions as it's easy to take off to replace the battery of the controller: https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR
i bought these and they came with a perfect nose light block as a bonus. Works perfect!
Kiwi straps suck. Mamut Grips are best for big hands, but are good. AMVR are the best grips. I own both grips. I threw the kiwi things in the garbage.
The silicon interface depends on the person. It doesn't sandpaper your face like the stock one, and feels nice and cool for the first 5 minutes, but it feels awful once it gets sweaty - imagine a wet rubber wedgie on your face. I currently have the VRCover 'facial interface set' with the 'comfort' pad that is pleather. It isn't perfect, but its the best I have found.
I hear some good things about the Studioform strap, but it looks hot and one more thing to mess with. I went went with the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, but that costs money. I ripped the headphones out of it, so I just have stock audio. I love the quick-adjust thing on the DAS like a hard hat - makes switching people so much faster and better.
Then there is the cable. I don't do the Oculus Link, but even so I have kids and I have heard of people ruining the cable charge port on the Quest yanking on it. I got one of those magnetic USB adapters to reduce the risk of port damage.
All of the goodies need to fit in a case, and I love this thing - its super sturdy and fits it all without being too big.
Then if you want to play in the dark you need a good IR light so it is dark for your wife to sleep but the Quest can still see.
Not sure what's happening with those retailers, maybe they had stock issues? It's available on Amazon though

Then I would recommend you do not buy from BB :P
Grab these cotton VR covers. I got these a while back and they do wonders for keeping the sweat out of the HMD and the default covers. It comes in a set of two so you can just wash and rotate between them. Two things to note though, they are a little annoying to put on, and they're a bit rough feeling at first (although I think that wears off as you break them in).
Aside from that, these wand skins are also pretty great for keeping the sweat out. But I've actually come to like them more for the fact they actually make the grip buttons easier to press.
Get these:

You need a VR Cover and do you wear glasses at roughly 4 feet? If so, you need lenses. Then there are googly eyes, rubber condoms for your controllers or hmd, sanitary masks for sharing your Vive, extension cables if you have the room to use them, and an ac controller to turn everything on and off. There's probably more but that will get you started.
I've used these since I bought my Vive. You get two reusable and washable covers. The material is a little coarse at first, but washing it with fabric softener helps.
In case it's a concern, I also have a TPCast and this cover creates enough clearance between my eyes and the screen that I don't see the green line but not so much that I notice a diminished field of view. I tried other foam replacements/covers and this was the best I found.
You need:
1.) XLR connector like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00067JJ8Q/
2.) Some long enough wire, for example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UR0N370/
3.) One XT60 connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E9HM7NC/
4.) Some sort of quick disconnect plug, example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZOIJ0S/ (this is so that it can easily disconnect if you crash without damaging the cable)
Then just solder those parts together and you're ready to go.
PS: This case is optional but it perfectly fits 2 carvepower battery cases and the solar charger device + cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/
Once I rearrange my room for a larger play space, I plan on getting these https://www.amazon.com/Skywin-Management-System-Virtual-Reality-Headset/dp/B07342C8BT/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1502278157&sr=8-13&keywords=oculus
I don't know if it changes anything but you can get a windows mixed reality headset for about $180 that can play all vive games (including VRchat). I'm tempted to get one myself considering how cheap they're getting. Link

anything that in US store is 100$ in EU is 100E , even if you buy it from Amazon, for example. Things in US are much cheaper, and importing them here you need to pay transport, import tax, VAT, etc..

sometimes the differences are even larger.:

The original box works just fine. But in the future I recommend you get some sort of carrying case. Here is the one I got and I've been very happy with it.
I wonder if that's why some people are having issues with lenses...those aren't supposed to stay on. They're like the little film protectors that come on phones, just to protect from dust during shipping.
But looks like there are some actual lens protectors for pretty cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Oculus-Quest-Virtual-Reality-2Pairs/dp/B07SSGXXJS
This is the one I got on Amazon. It looks exactly the same as the one above. I like that it's slimmer than the 2800/3800 cases that everyone else bought. It's probably not as tough, but I like that it doesn't take up as much space, and holds everything and a little more.
​

there's also this case, if you don't want the Oculus one. I recently bought it, and like it very much

For anyone that missed out on the Rift Touch Bundle, and isn't in a rush to get it, it's orderable now. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LYCUM3L/ref=twister_B01MDN4Y8T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and you get a $100 gift card to your account.
So the ad I saw on Amazon didn't seem to include that...Am I missing something?

Rift and Touch together actually cost $600 right now, so your pricing is off by $100. Also, you get an additional $100 worth of Oculus Store credit if you buy it in the next few days.
Is this not it?

JSVER Gear VR Case - $16 w/ Prime Shipping
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6N3J8D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_hAR5Cb9QJDBVN
I think this was recommended on the Go subreddit at one point or another. It's a nice rigid case, and surprisingly the quest fit (with both controllers and a battery pack) with no drama.
I think I'll pick up a microfiber pouch to throw the controllers, and charging accessories into to protect the lenses.
Edit - the Quest charging cable fits in the top half's pouch. I'm not saying this is the best Quest case available - but it was a coincidence that I already owned it, and figured other folks might want something low-profile (and cheap). This doesn't leave tons of extra room for accessories - but it's a solid option!
I was a day one adopter, and got this cheap case as it was one of the few available:
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D
​
It's not bad, and is protective enough, but is just a quick adaptation of existing cases (not super customized in any way for the Go. Is relatively cheap as the glue holding the netting compartment has separated a little.
​
If I had to do it again, these both look like potentially interesting upgrades:

Are you in the US? Rift+touch is now $600 and the cost of a PC to run it is approaching $400, so we're nearly there! :-)
https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-Oculus-GXiVR8020A2-Desktop-Virtual-Reality/dp/B06XCFPGL7/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1495644041&sr=1-2&keywords=rift%2Bbundle&th=1
Rift + Touch + 3rd sensor is $657.99
If you buy Rift and Touch you get seven games free. Additionally, you can purchase The Rift, Touch, and a third sensor on Amazon and get those same seven games free PLUS an additional $100 in store credit.
https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Rift-Virtual-Reality-Headset/dp/B072F64645/?th=1
If you DON'T buy touch you're losing out on a lot of other aspects of VR.
I should note that I bought the Rift specifically for Elite as well and thought "I don't need/want touch." But then the price dropped to include Touch for the same amount as what the headset was anyway, so I went for it. I have spent more time playing other games and experiences since I purchased it than in the cockpit in Elite.
/u/MajorCodeBlue check out the link for the amazon bundle as there are only a few left and it is a great deal.
Edit: I don't see mention of the $100 store credit anymore and sounds like it may have been a limited time offer, therefore if you just buy the Rift/Touch combo ($599) and don't want the third sensor you can save $60.
Oculus Roomscale Bundle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072F64645/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_JOJzzbQ4PF4SB
In my original post roomscale was two words, my bad.
Also, Amazon should really not be selling bundles if canceling an order is too complex for them to do.
Since both play the same games, you may want to look at the bundled software for each - what's better than games? Free games!
Bolded titles above are the bigger budget/higher rated games. Of course, some love the others too, but they tend to be more niche (like sculpting/art) or indie/"experiences" (e.g., Richie's Plank Experience, Toybox).

3rd sensor
= awesome
picture doesn't show the much longer retractable line for the final connection, the other 1+ is just to support cable weight. I taped it to cable on last one to let me move anywhere in square and cable is never below top of my head.
I've seen reviews that the people who are selling the refurb often don't check the product and you'll get things like two left hands, two right hands, busted looking headsets etc. I'd say be careful if you do that, I almost considered it but imo, spend the extra 40 or so bucks and get new.
The Lenovo one which has a higher FOV is 200, and it's what i got recently and enjoy it
Well garbage is pretty subjective, but they give a very playable experience. I edited my post because that's closer to what I'm seeing at this exact moment on amazon. From a quick 10 second search...
Acer for $200 on Newegg
Lenovo Explorer for $210 on Amazon
They go on sale very frequently though. Check buildapcsales. WMR headsets that aren't the Samsung Odyssey are all substantially similar except for styling so dont worry too much about which one ends up on sale.
This is there one I have
refurbished HP
The best of the WMR sets (this one was on sale last week for $299 so keep your eyes out)
MS recommends this Bluetooth dongle
Note the first two are basically the same: they all are, except for the Samsung which has better screens and manual ipd adjustment. The new version I linked to also has built in Bluetooth so you wouldn't need to worry about a dongle. Again in that price point I recommend Rift, though it's a tossup between way better screens and way better controllers, there :)
Edit: also, run the windows mr test -- you can find it in the windows store. If it says you're good, games like beat saber should run fine
I've been reading a lot about it since I'm building a new PC capable of VR and I always wanted to try it.
It's a really good VR headset. The strong poing of the headsets is the price since is more than 50% less than others with the deal (at least here), that's a steal and for an entry VR headset it's great and probably the best (imo).
​
Edit: Game.es also ran out of stock 3-4h after my last reply. Now they're at 250€ for whenever they get new stock...
​
Edit2: Amazon had new stock. They ran out of it really soon but now they're selling the headsets with the deal for the upcoming stock too so if you're interested you could probably get them with the deal. Link
I find I too get nauseous, but only when playing games where you are smoothly moving forward, like you would in a car game or something similar. Hellblade vr is a classic example. I could only play that for 30mins or so before I would feel the motion sickness.
However, playing the games above ( in the YouTube links ) I don't get motion sickness at all !
So I completely recommend it if you have a decent enough computer system to run VR. The only bad thing about VR currently is the price, but I can honestly say it's the best money I've spent because I get a decent sweat on and work out when I'm able to, and it's such good fun.
I never got anything like that out if going to the gym. So for me it's totally worth it . And I really feel more people could benefit from trying it out because of how fun it is . It's a great escape .
You can even play nintendo Wii games in VR also using the dolphinVR emulator.

If any of you do have a decent computer or a good GPU, price wise I totally recommend a Windows mixed reality headset.
They are not quite a good as an oculus rift or a HTC Vive when it comes to tracking, but I have to say they are still surprising good ! and a lot more portable if you want to take the VR with you , if you are using a laptop .

I have the Lenovo explorer, but I also own a HTC Vive. If you can find the Lenovo explorer or any other wmr headset for a decent price it's worth getting because you don't need any external sensors if you need to take the VR setup on holiday or in hospital.
I really think us cf'ers should look into VR for exercise alternatives as well as their normal routine as it's a really fun way to move about. So it's great for body and mind !
I mainly use the VR and dance mat games when I'm unable to get out for a walk ( if the weather is bad or something ). So I use the VR ,weights or dance mat games if I can't get out .
This is a decent dance mat game ( for exercise ) if anyone has their old Wii laying around

Those are definitely WMR controllers. Specifically, I think they are the ones that come with the lenovo explorer headset.
I stumbled upon one review on amazon for WMR (Lenovo Explorer) and someone (user nicknamed Ed) mentioned the tracking issue of their 6dof controllers but he said that he solved the issue of shaking controllers by switching the bluetooh 4 dongle to a USB 2.0 port...so perhaps the USB 3.0 is the issue here for many people and they are not aware of it.

This is the link to the reviews page of Lenovo Explorer :

User named Ed wrote :
"Controllers tracking poorly and jumping all over the place in all applications. This was solved by moving the Bluetooth 4.0 dongle I bought from the USB 3.0 port I had originally used to a USB 2.0 port at the front of the computer. It should be noted that Microsoft actually recommend using a USB 2.0 port for the Bluetooth, so this is expected behaviour, but I mention it in case it may help someone."
The Windows MR headsets all support SteamVR, so you get access to all the same apps and games.
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Explorer-Wireless-Headset-G0A20001WW/dp/B0764L8YL7It's so cheap too I'd really recommend getting the bundle with controllers - There are some really cool VR games out there :-)
The headset has two 1440 x 1440 displays, one for each eye.
It really makes you feel like you're sitting in a ship, it really is an amazing experience. You can turn around and see the rest of the cockpit behind you. If you use the external camera, you feel like you're floating in space and look at your ship. It feels and looks like real.
You can order it from Germany and have it delivered to Hungary, it 5,99 €.
I'd suggest getting Lenovo Explorer for 299,95 € if your head isn't too big or small, just make sure that your graphic card is good enough.
​
Edit: Here Obsidian Ant tries to answer is getting a VR set worth it.
Amazon Price(Sold by HTC)
I see that you already figured it out but if anyone else gets confused:
This is the "vive pro full kit" which is retail: $1398 (amazon)
and the wireless adapter which is retail: $250 (on sale amazon)
Had an og vive, got a wireless adapter on amazon at release for 300. You can get them amazon warehouse, bought a used one there for my buddy thats been good as well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07GKHNBCT/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Then I grabbed a vive pro complete set on amazon warehouse for 755 used. Some really light scratches in the outside plastic of the headband on the left side, so it was a really good deal. Right now it is higher, just depends on whats in stock.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07B9WPR7G/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Swapped the wireless over to that. It requires a free pci-express slot to run the wireless. Some people have said they need to swap their card down to slot 2 and put the wwireless in slot 1 but I havent experienced that on my older 5820k rig.
Ordered the index controllers through Steam store.
The battery is this one, which has a discount right now:

Yes, that would be a deal! The starter bundle is also on sale though for $799 so at least that's a bit more reasonable than original price: https://smile.amazon.com/HTC-Virtual-Reality-System-Starter/dp/B07NQ9GXRC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=htc%2Bvive%2Bpro&qid=1575141564&sr=8-1&th=1 .... and Amazon Warehouse has some returns for $640 and $704.

If youre worried about the lenses, get lens protectors
Went with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Esimen-Controllers-Accessories-Waterproof-Carrying/dp/B07STFXHKY/
Little more room for cables, charger and an external battery pack.
It's a little tight, but the controllers even fit with the Mamut Touch Grips. (controller grip skins that let the controllers strap to your hands similar to Valve Index controllers.)
Same product but a bit cheaper here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07STFXHKY/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only protection I have is the case (this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07STFXHKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and putting away when I'm not using it. I don't ave any kids or careless friends to break it, so that's enough precaution for me.
https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/
They are meant to imitate the knuckles controllers, they are competing against the Mamut grips.
There is kind of a workaround to have "knuckel-like" experience and that is amvr straps. https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=amvr+oculus+quest&qid=1574607123&sprefix=AMVR+oculus&sr=8-4

Hasn't the rift's price drop in Europe or is about to drop in all stores?
Amazon UK has it for £499.00 and Amazon DE has it for 649,00€ and those are not discounted prices but repriced.
Import it from Germany if you haven't found anything:
https://www.amazon.de/Oculus-301-00204-01-Rift/dp/B00ZFOGHRG/
In Canada it comes to $550 (minus the $100 gift card), and it'll arrive in time for Labour Day! Or Halloween... yay...
It IS NOT available on Amazon.ca, just checked.
https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-Touch-Bundle/dp/B01LYCUM3L
The website says "usually ships in 1 to 3 months", which I take to mean they will ship whenever they have more stock. Usually this is between 1-3 months, but you never know.
Did you try ordering from the Oculus website, since their stock level appears to be infinite, or at least hasn't reported no stock yet.
Looks like it's gone, but there is the same $399 without the $100 gift card available.
If it is under the same name, credit card, or using the same ip address I wouldn't do it. That will likely get flagged as fraud as well and probably make it even more difficult to convince support that it should not be flagged as fraud. I am pretty sure back during preorders it was a bad idea to order again if you were told not to. I haven't personally had to do it though. Hopefully support gets back to you soon.
Worst case scenario you can still order from amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LYCUM3L?th=1), but it is backordered for 1-3 months

hmm...i think that was the old amazon prime day page. I assume it's still just the new bundle:
This is the new bundle page:
I second OP's opinion. It's better than I thought it would be.
I got it from Amazon, and it's a 2 pack. My only negative is it took a bit of negotiating to get it to fit as you have to remove the existing pad/velcro and sandwich the four tabs in between. Once it's on it's perfect.
VR Cover
The images on Amazon doesn't show the VR Cover logo but it's there and the same as OP's.
Looks like the ones from Kiwi Designs are not avail on Amazon ATM.. I like them because they give one 6mm and one 18mm. So its good for having better FOV and then one if doing demos for lots of people...
Safer gift idea would be below..
I forgot this one, Its a soft cloth (2 pack) of covers for the HTC Vive HMD, its great as it adds comfort and absorbs sweat.

okay. i got the official case in, and my top choice ive had my hands on. the jsver case. jsver was shorter, which i knew but it seems to have more empty space. oddly. official is only *slightly* bigger , but in a good way. because its short i have to sort of sqush the straps in, which i dont like.
https://www.amazon.com/JSVER-Storage-Carrying-Protective-Controller/dp/B01N6N3J8D/
this video seems to say the back strap will fit...im not sure i need it/think its essential, but im just wondering.
https://www.vrfitnessinsider.com/oculus-quest-vr-cover-foam-pad-head-strap-improve-the-comfort/
if you say the battery goes in the back , looking at the back do you think the battery would still fit? or better yet, would it fit without me having to take it off and leaving it on?...id do this all myself but a sale on the official case is over before a quest i m having shipped to me will hit me
Here you go: VR Case
Lots of room and it doesn't bang around in there because of the straps
Here’s the case if anyone is interested in getting it: Amazon Link
I was looking at that one the other day, it looked nice!
Ended up getting this one instead because it's more compact and will more easily fit in my backpack. Should have it in a couple weeks:
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D
Yeah, those moldings for the touch controller and cables are unfortunate. Without those there, you could probably fit the Xbox controller in there. At least there would be some flexibility. I have a similarly-sized case with no moldings. I flip the headset's strap around and can fit everything I need in there. I also have the original cardboard covering the Go's lens when in transport, just to be safe.
http://i.imgur.com/haGQxpQ.jpeg
http://i.imgur.com/1oeEbdy.jpeg
I went with the JSVER Gear VR Case - I preferred not having the moldings - more flexible for the future
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one fits an Xbox One controller as well.
I got this case. And although it's a nice case it needs to be 1-2 cm deeper inside because once you start to put a few things in the mesh holder it will press against the Go. Also the fully black interior makes it very difficult to see through the mesh as to the cables, batteries, etc held in there unless you have white or colored cables. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Prices are already coming down. If you have a Plastation 4, you can get that VR set. On PC, the cheapest (and probably best suited for this game) solution is the $600 Oculus Rift. You need a PC with at least an NVidia 960. I see there's a $1300 PC + Rift + Touch bundle on Amazon.
They have been selling those on amazon for over a year.

No idea on the chance of a Black Friday discount. Would be good if it was $800 with the DAS included.
​
I own and love my Vive and when talking to PSVR owners I am so glad I have room-scale and good tracking.
​
However, the Rift is $599AUD normally, and in the Black Friday sales it may drop to $500 and from what I've heard it's really not much worse than the Vive, and you're saving a good chunk of cash.
​
Also look at WMR headsets.

That'll ship to Aus and converts to about $280 AUD
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07CSFYJKD/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new
That's about $310 AUD.
​
Also check Gumtree:

The Vive is the best on the market, but it's also the most expensive, so if price is an issue then the other options are worth a look. Especially since it seems you won't be able to take full advantage of large room scale experiences.
​
Nothing can use Valve's knuckles without the lighthouses (from Vive packages) though.
​
If you think you will be getting the knuckles or a Pimax in 6-18 months, than the Vive is worth it. If you've never played VR, just want your feet wet and don't have heaps of $$$ to spend, then from what I've heard, WMR is really quite good these days.

Seems to have gone up in price a bit, but it's been around $149 - $179 with controllers recently.
Does this, this or this work?
To my defense I did do a quick search and landed in the windows store - which I wrongly assumed would have all the Windows Mixed Reality headsets - and the cheapest in there was on sale for 250
Also even accounting for the usual exchange rate to CAD (35-50% more), the Acer one is almost double and the explorer is 1.5x more what they should be, at the same sources you cited. So that you can understand my confusion/excitement at the 'sub-200$' claim.
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Explorer-Wireless-Controllers-G0A20002WW/dp/B0764GKZ15
Others :
Lenovo Explorer €349 (usually €400-450)
Acer €329 (usually around €380)
Delivery costs (French)
Warranty information (Lenovo) : search "Explorer" in the lower search bar. Warranty will probably work for all EU countries besides GB.
> from oculus will be the first rift , which will look out dated.
Samsung Odyssey came out in the end of 2017, Vive pro soon after.
So Rift and Vive are outdated for a while now. People still buy more Rifts/Vives than Odysseys and Pros combined.
And PSVR dwarfs all PCVR sales combined. Are you saying that PSVR sells so well, because it is technically superior to even the crappiest PCVR headset?
amazon ...plenty of winmr headsets r around 200 and sometimes even cheaper

Well, the point of stereo cameras is to have overlapping fields of view, so you can track points from multiple viewpoints at the same time (which lets you estimate their depth).
But certainly there are inside-out tracking devices that use a pair of fisheye cameras (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Daydream-Standalone-Worldsense-Tracking-Ultra-Crisp-Designed/dp/B0793R2Q23/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525242245&sr=8-1&keywords=mirage+solo)
If you're not averse to spending a little cash, I'd get a set of prescription inserts (whatever brand you prefer) and then order one of the 'upgraded' rift face shield interface things. Throw your lenses in one, hers in the other. Maybe a drop of glue to keep them in place. Then just swap that whole interface out every time you switch.
​
Something like this should still be compatible with most prescription inserts (double check for whatever you have, obviously)

We have no information at all, it's been total dead radio silence. So just a guess based on the price appearing on Argos, the hint that they're slashing prices on the Vive Pro, and the fact that they just reported their 5th straight quarterly loss indicates they need to move soon.
$40 cheaper at that and here is the link:

The controllers would be blue like the headset, and the lighthouse stations look different than the orignal Vive's stations, as shown in this bundle posted on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/HTC-VIVE-Virtual-Reality-Headset-PC/dp/B07B9WPR7G?th=1
2.0 can have a play area over 30 feet and can connect more than 2 lighthouses at the same time.
It might be worth checking out amazon

It comes with the sensors and controllers, but these are the updated ones, the sensors are lighthouse 2.0 where the other ones was lighthouse 1.0 and the controllers are blue to match the headset.

Vive pro full kit on sale for $899 for prime day by Rabid_sasquatch
I just picked one up and figured i would share due to not seeing anyone else mention it yet just incase anyone else has been on the fence about VR and/or is hesitateing over the index due to the problems it is having. Or of course just waiting for a decent sale.

Vive Pro on sale for $800, seems to be a good deal? I haven't been following it extremely closely, but https://keepa.com/#!product/1-B07NQ9GXRC seems to imply it's usually $1100.
https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Quest-All-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PRDGYTW/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=oculus%2Bquest&qid=1556131986&s=gateway&sr=8-5&th=1
There are promo photos where you can see the game on a TV in the same room, with friends watching (click through the photos on the amazon order page for example).
I mean, those could be photoshopped for advertising, but I doubt it.
Also, they had monitors set up at the conventions where they were demoing the Quest and Rift S that showed the gameplay as it was happening.
So I'm sure its possible, it's just not clear exactly what buttons to push to make it happen.
One last thing because I don't expect you to take my word. Just check out the reviews for the Quest. It currently has a 4.8 out of 5 Stars with 636 reviews at Best Buy. It has 4.5 out of 5 Stars with 678 reviews at Amazon. The 128gb version has 4.5 Stars with 542 reviews at Amazon. Google Shopping has it at 4.8 Stars with 1,288 reviews.
Quest is up on US Amazon, says "currently unavailable." Not sure how long it's been there.

I'm thinking it might be smart to wait for this..

Just go with Amazon UK. It'll be with you on release day.

really? That would be awesome! Only thing that confuses me about amazon though is that when I go to their site to look for the rift s, it only lists "offers" and "available from these sellers". Does it not sell them directly?
edit: https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=oculus+rift+s&qid=1559260988&s=gateway&sr=8-3
It's a bit tricky to get a wheel and pedals setup to cooperate well with this game. One of the biggest issues I have with it is that it's only got 180° of wheel rotation. If you're interested in getting setup with a wheel and pedals with VR, you might check out Assetto Corsa, Project CARS 2, Dirt Rally or iRacing. They all have their own learning curve and audience, but my personal choice of setup is the following:
Logitech G920 Racing Wheel with Shifter - $270
This is honestly a bargain in its own right. It was closer to $500 when I bought mine and it was seen as a reasonable price even then.
OpenWheeler Racing Cockpit - $380
I've used this cockpit for over a year now and it's held up well. You can mount a wheel to a desk, but this brings it to a whole new level.
Oculus Rift S - $400
This one is a lot harder to recommend. VR is still in its early stages and I personally own a Rift CV1 (the first consumer version) and love it. My honest recommendation is to get a CV1 used if you're new to it. They go for cheap and I've never had any real complaints, but unless you're ready to pour $1000 into a Valve Index, the Rift S is one of the few other headsets being sold new that actually makes sense.
If you want to ask a whole community and not take my word for it on this stuff, I'd highly recommend /r/simracing. Don't let others' budgets throw you off over there. If you're looking for something entry level, but still a good experience, the setup I mentioned here has served me well in the past couple years.
This one?
Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nUr3Db4NDF1GF
It's a very good price. Is that good? Can I do everything that I mentioned? Tonight I will do some research of unreal with it. Thanks!
https://www.amazon.de/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=oculus+S&qid=1574718966&smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&sr=8-3
That's for headset as well as the touch controllers, you don't need sensors with the Oculus S.
Amazon is selling it for the same price, for those who are interested: https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=occulus+rift&qid=1575036130&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFETjU5WkZFWDdNUEwmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2NjA4MTEzQ05KODgyNTIxWlcyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1MTkxNzYxS0g5NFlNOUg2MjJZJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but two Vive wands and the single Light House you need so you can use them as hands in game are $129.99x2+ $134.99 which comes to $394.97. (Yes, it's absurd, which is why people rarely by them on their own)
Or you could buy a Certified pre-owned Vive, with all of that and an extra Light house, and an HMD for $399 and just play it in VR
Or you could buy a Rift S New for $399 and just play it in VR
Or you could just by a Samsun Odyssey+ for $250 and just play it in VR.
If your video card isn't up to snuff, buy a GTX1060 for $190 and sell your old card for what ever you can get.
Looking at your profile it seems like you live in the UK. Even if you're not able to take advantage of cheaper US hardware deals, you can still get a Rift S for under £400. It's still signifcantly cheaper than the €1000 that the above comment was making out to be necessary to use VR.
Four.
Hundred.
Dollars.
Hell, there are budget headsets for way less, and an OG Vive can be found used for less than half the Rift S.
It still appears to be available...
Its still the same price on amazon if your still looking for a deal on one.

Technically the highest price from Amazon AU was $661.52 on Oct 11, 2019 but otherwise your correct. Price history
Bought this case and couldn't be happier. Comes with a shoulder strap and has room for accessories: https://www.amazon.ca/Esimen-Fashion-Controllers-Accessories-Carrying/dp/B07SSCMS6H/
I picked up this and it's pretty decent. Has seats for controller and comes with strap for carrying case and wires. And a soft cover for the lenses
https://www.amazon.com/Esimen-Fashion-Controllers-Accessories-Carrying/dp/B07SSCMS6H/
Looks good, several people have received it and reviewed with pics. Personally awaiting mine :)
This one works pretty well for me.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07SSCMS6H?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
There are extra pockets for earbuds and the charging cables as well as room for a power bank.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SSCMS6H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Great case. Fits everything, including the cables.
Honestly, those are kind of crappy...
Some purchasers have received lens covers (advertised for Quest) that were too large.
The ones I bought were not, but because they were flat, the edges were crinkled, and air bubbles would not push out, despite how careful I was applying them. They also left a lot of residue on the lenses, and I had to use a liquid cleaner to remove, which Oculus recommends against.
On Facebook, someone made a similar comment about the Healingshield protectors being flat and the edges wrinkling as well, but they smoothed the lenses out by warming them with a hair dryer on lowest warm setting. I bought the healingshield protectors as well, but haven't applied them. And I'm not 100% sure about even low level heat and the lenses.
I bought the WidmoVR Plano lenses as well, but ended up ditching them for the Thingiverse medium thickness rings. I wear glasses and the Planos definitely hit my glasses. If you don't wear glasses, I think they are a good solution. Maybe even coupled with a film protector...
Overall, be careful, but I wouldn't "freak out" about damaging them. Use common sense and care, and you'll be fine. Too much worry becomes a quality of life issue. Did you buy the Quest to have fun or have something to worry about all the time?
For a cheap cover, use the cardboard that came with the Quest. If you don't have it, search for the template here and trace it onto some cardboard. Or a dollar store flip-flop sandal. Cheap and effective.
Here are the things I currently have on my Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Christmas Lists.
But it's only the strap ? There is no another piece where you put the touch in ? I thout you were just hiding it with your hand.
So, what's the product you have ? It's not this ?

You can order the mamut grips from mamutvr.com. The company operates out of Sweden though, so that might be something to consider in terms of shipping costs/import fees.
The AMVR ones are only just becoming available so getting them right now might be tricky, they should become available through amazon one of these days though. Here's a link. They seem to be a little better than the mamut ones from what I'm hearing and also have some extras included.
I got the VR cover facial interface and foam replacement. I strongly recommend buying something like this when the standard face cover hurts your face. Mine did after 15-30min but with the VR Cover, I can play for hours. https://vrcover.com/product/oculus-quest-foam-and-interface-basic-set/

Thank you for the video and demonstrating them. Though the AMVR and Mamut options look better in almost every way. They also hold on the battery hatch. AMVR version is around $26 and Mamut is $30 to compare to these simple straps at $17. These just look like they take to much fussing with adjustment if you swap between players on the regular.
These add a nice amount of grip and weight.
These look like they could be the better of the two available Beat Saber handles.

Oh, sorry it was $17.

The links are just for the amazon/ BB listings. The only reason I started there is just because of the craigslist selling mentality, you know people are going to offer lower, and I know I'll take it. I don't think I'll go for under $200 though. I got the batteries and charger for ~$40, and the dongle for ~$15.

not even close, actually - I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers. I have never ever seen it for less then 350 from a canadian retailer. It's no surprise we don't have a microsoft store here in Windsor, because people would bitch about prices constantly. The sony store here was closed earlier than any other I imagine for the same reason.
I'm a firm, firm advocate if a price has ever been x - ANYWHERE - , it will always be x and you should never, ever pay more no matter where you're from unless you live in an incredibly remote place and the logistical costs can be explained.
