I became a VR fanboy from trying out a friend's PS VR which in turned led me to building a PC just for VR (He's jealous now, lol). I really hope they keep improving on this product and release a 2nd generation that addresses the pitfalls of this generation.

1/3 of the cost of the Pro Kit

-A bit pricey as Rift is $100 cheaper; and the Vive Pro Kit (Better picture quality) is a ridiculous $1400

Having said all that, there is nothing else out there like the HTC Vive. While PlayStation VR plays in a similar space with its hand-tracking facilities, and Oculus Touch has the potential to make Oculus Rift as intuitive as the Vive when it finally launches, I confidently predict neither of them...

Amazing tracking for the headset and controllers; Well placed buttons on the controllers blend well into the games

The headset does not have built in earphones instead a short pair are provided to plug in; (Fixable with the deluxe audio strap

Easy to install and is very comfortable. I am usually very picky about sound quality and these sound great for what they are. They actually sound better than the headphones on the HTC Vive Pro I tried at a friend's.

HTC Vive is an amazing bit of kit that brings brilliant immersion. Not only is it for gamers as it can be used for creative purposes or simply watching a movie in your own personal cinema.

But it's also completely amazing. Along with its rival virtual reality (VR) headset - the Oculus Rift , which began shipping to customers last week - the $800 (roughly Rs. 53,000) Vive carries with it the promise of a new generation of gaming, as well as the promise of new frontiers in...

Recently, we got the chance to take a look at the HTC Vive virtual reality headset for a three week test run. With quite a few virtual reality headset options out on the market right now, we were interested in finding out what exactly sets the HTC Vive apart from the rest.

YOU WILL NOT GET FALLOUT 4 VR WITH THIS PURCHASE. I bought this bundle on March 25, it arrived at my post office and was ready for pickup April 2. The HTC code for Fallout 4 VR is a PROMOTIONAL CODE that ENDED on March 31--two days before my "bundle" arrived in the mail, and because the code is...

In the end I did not use the stands but will keep them should i change rooms, The steam set up tutorial was easy to follow. I have played elite dangerous on a monitor but in VR it is breathtaking the three D effect makes it seem real you can walk about your ship and look out of the windows at...

We'll start with the good, and when it's working, it's an excellent and immersive experience. The headset is not heavy, the cables do not really get in your way and once the tracking units are set up, you can forget about them.
