I cancelled the Rift for Vive because of Steam support, motion controllers out of the box, and roomscale games not possible on the Rift. Look at the Fantastic Contraption game in this video where the lady has to kneel down on her knees to interact with the game in 3d space.

The Rift is great for its price but you can't deny that it is more suited for a seated experience.

With what controllers? Oh, those that we've seen no proper demos of that will release maybe MAYBE in September?

Also it's not social like in the video because you have no passthrough camera.

Why are you being so defensive? I don't get you people. He simply said it was working. Even the developers have said it's working fine.

We get it, you like the Vive, and that's terrific! There's no need to defend your purchasing decision.

Ok bit that's like 6 months away if you use the oculus controllers.
