I will probably buy it, but it’s going to be expensive since I also need a camera and a Move controller.

#3

Yeah, that’s what I figured. Can’t for next year’s black friday bunduru

#4

For some reason I thought this thing had dazzling integrated earphones on it and now see they’re piece of shit stereo in-ear things.

#5

I hope they are compatible with my PlayStation headset.

#6

Percentage of confidence VR won’t end up just a gimmick?

#7

7%.

#8

37%

Just wonder if it’ll get it’s butt kicked by a new tech just as it finds its feet in 6-7 years time.

#9

Woof, 7% is lower than 15%.

#10

To be fair, I think this gimmick has a lot more potential than the PS Camera, the Move, and the Wonderbook.

#11

I hope TrackIR is doing well…
