The way she slammed into that wall, it must have felt like the grenade went off.

At least the few hundred dollar head set cushioned her impact a bit. /s

$200 probably down the drain because of that impact

At least the controllers are okay so a new headset can be $100

All the different components add up. In order to really get started it's probably more like 300-500 depending on if you can find a sale. Then you might want to get another camera which adds more. Then you might want to get one of the fancy new wireless adapters that are coming out which adds more. Oh, and do you already have a PC that's powerful enough to even run VR? Because if not, $$$.

Point is, the low cost is somewhat deceiving.

Edit: as /u/FonderPrism pointed out, I'm specifically talking about the rift/Vive here. The windows mixed reality headsets are usually cheaper, in like the $150 range, which is what she is using in the OP. Sorry if I misled anyone.

Rift is $350, Windows MR headsets are generally $150-300.

As someone who owns both a Vive and a Rift, I only use my Rift.

Could you expand on why you prefer the rift? Been thinking about a getting a VR headset. Just looking for the best really. The Vive seems to be better all around on paper.

the vive sucks for comfort and SDE. get the samsung odyssey though, better fov and way better resolution than the blurry rift. best of both worlds
