    Has anyone here actually enjoyed using a VR headset? beyond the novelty of it?

    I used it a couple of times and it's kind of cool for like a minute, then you feel so weird that you don't know what's going on in your real surroundings. With a group of people it's even weirder.

    You also want to be able to enjoy things as a family or a group, movies, video games etc...are we suppose to gear out the whole family for 20k just to look like a bunch of morons pretend swimming in our living rooms?

    • I have 4 headsets, the Oculus Rift S is pretty awesome, Half-Life: Alyx is sooo dope, but you need a really fast machine to run itYakuZoku
    • I have 2 Quest 2's that I play with my daughter w/ .they suck in comparison, graphics be like "What Year Is It?"YakuZoku
    • My Vive set up in the bar/hangout room, mirror on TV so everyone could see what the player sees, had a blast and got friends to try that never wanted.BabySnakes
    • did that stuff cost 3.5K a piece?fadein11
    • and that's extreme gaming, not general usage. I didn't see much promotion for playing games.formed
    • I've only played with a nexus 5 in a cardboard VR set up (lol) and it made me feel intensely ill. I really want to try contemporary offerings.Nairn
    • My best pal spends a % of his day in VR and he seems to love it. Take that how you will.Nairn

    • I've done some VR Arenas with friends. It's fun for an evening. People without Quake II experience get lost in VR was my take away.uan
    • I got the quest pro. Not that far away from what apple showed...inv
    • PSVR2 here and I love it. Yes it’s solo but the PS has output to tv so everyone can see what you’re falling into.MrT
    • Also of note, PSVR2 was not well received at $5-600, so Apple is either arrogant AF or haven't read the room very well.MrT
    • yeah exactly..autoflavour
    • I've bought the cardboard one years ago for experimenting. VR is not for me, sorry. FFS! My priority is to spend fewer hours in front of the screens...OBBTKN
