Yes. The games are getting really good now and cordless is a no brainer. They are supposedly making games were you can walk 30-40 feet as well meaning you can take it outside.

Having it as a stand alone device with setup that takes minutes is awesome. It's def a cool alternative to console games/PC games and it's a different experience so you won't be replacing it per say.

That Vader game looks amazing and the potential for these are sky high. Just look how far it's come in the past few years.

It's still in my cart, and I'm going to decide before 5 today. That way I can get it this weekend, and play it all the way through my staycation... There are only a few things really holding me up. If this is the first standalone pc quality unteathered experience on the market right now, how good will be what comes out from the other major companies in just a few months? Maybe this will be pretty low quality? Also, no Bethesda games on Oculus... Apparently there's a big feud between the two companies, and I can't get Skyrim, fallout, or whatever other games will be released for it in VR. It's not the end of the world, as I don't even know if I'd buy Fallout or Skyrim AGAIN... but for future titles it sucks, and I've heard that Skyrim is one of the best VR experiences available...
Charch said Skyrim on VR is amazing but on the flip side Fallout on VR was terrible.

Gerstmann was very impressed. The tracking is very good. No cameras to set up. Seems neat.

Have you "Gasmed" yet in your new VR world.

No way you haven't watched porn on it yet.

Is it better than "Real world" jerking?

VR Frogger that reads where the real life cars are?
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.
