u/Heaney555 · 45 pointsr/virtualreality

Note that there are 2 Rift SKUs, one at #2 (with Touch) and the other at #4 (with xbox controller and Remote).

The same thing with the PSVR.

The HTC Vive has the unique advantage in sales rankings of having only 1 SKU.

Thus this data is useless, since we don't know whether #1 is more than #2 and #4 combined.

---

And those #4 SKU sales don't just mean sim racers or people buying without Touch, because it's actually cheaper to buy SKU #4 then the Touch controllers separately than to buy SKU #2. So people buying #4 are still probably buying Rift+Touch.

---

Another thing we can conclude is that neither Rift+Touch nor HTC Vive are currently selling anywhere near what Rift+Touch was selling during the $399 sale.

Both are beaten in the general VR category by even the Gear VR controller- and despite being split into 5 different SKUs, 2 of the Gear VR headset SKUs are outsellng both Rift+Touch and HTC Vive!

For comparison, Rift+Touch at $399 was at the #1 spot of that category for weeks, outselling even the Gear VR SKUs. In fact, it was even at the top of the consoles list for a while (meaning more people bought it than any Switch or PS4 or Xbox SKU).

u/UndeadCaesar · 18 pointsr/GamePhysics

So the two big ones are HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, those are the only two consumer VR headsets that really shine right now. Rift is having a crazy summer sale right now, $400 on Amazon, which gets you the headset, camera sensors, and hand controllers.

Personally, I have the HTC Vive due to some issues I have with Oculus's business platform. Namely, they're owned by Facebook and are trying to pull a console-esque exclusive games deal.

But, personal qualms aside, I can't really recommend the Vive for $800 over the Rift for $400. Especially if you're playing seat games like flight simulators, that's the much much better option right now.

I'm super into VR so any questions feel free to ask away.

u/psface · 8 pointsr/buildapcsales

Having a referral code brings the Oculus Rift %10 down to $314 USD (+$30.62 CA tax totals up to $344.72 USD).

Also $349 on Amazon.

Edit: I don't have any more referrals left, sorry! (I'm sure someone will have one though, maybe comment or check out the VR Discord #deals-chat channel to see who still has referrals left?)

u/qtface · 7 pointsr/GameDeals

I believe it was $600 a year ago, then last summer they had a sale with it at $400 for at least a month or two. When they took it off sale, they reduced retail price to $500, and then made another reduction a few months later to $400.

Here's the amazon price history for the new (current) bundle packaging.

u/Tangeranges · 5 pointsr/youtubehaiku

To expand on what the other commenter has said, both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift have had a fairly significant price drop over the last couple of months.

The Vive now sits at a much more reasonable price of $599usd while the Oculus Rift sits at $399 although it's strongly recommended that you purchase a 3rd camera sensor for $60 with it to improve the tracking potential. Both come with tracked controller solutions, the Vive with it's wand style and the Rift with Touch.

 

Personally, I feel that the Vive is a better buy, considering several factors so I'm a bit biased.


-The Rift needs a 3rd sensor which lessens the price gap a fair amount, and takes up a whopping 4 USB 3.0 ports while the Vive uses only a single USB 2.0 port because of the Lighthouse tracking versus the Rift's camera based solution

-They both work for room-scale games, but the Vive is more purpose built for it because of the way tracking works

-This is pretty subjective but I prefer the Vive's display and optics. Neither are objectively better but I like the Vive's slightly larger field of view compared to the Rift's slightly better readability with text

-Vive is much better if you have glasses.

-This is purely subjective, but the Vive has nothing to do with Facebook. To me that's a major plus, but you might not care as much.

 

As much as I adore my Vive, the Rift has several advantages too

-First, it's outright cheaper, regardless of having to buy the 3rd sensor

-The controllers feel more natural in the hand when you're playing games where you have hands instead of tools (Vive is better if you're playing a shooter for example as the controllers feel like you're holding something like that)

-The Rift has a built in pair of headphones which are actually quite good, and light weight. I didn't think this was a huge deal at first since I have good headphones already, but not having to worry about that extra cable dangling from your head is a nice luxury to have

-The Rift's stock head strap is much nicer, and general ergonomics are better. The Vive has an upgraded Deluxe Audio Strap that you can buy now, but it's a hundred bucks.

-Access to a bunch of free Oculus funded games through Home. The Vive can play these too, but you have to use a middleware program called ReVive for it to work.

 


To finish off this wall of text, some minimum recommended PC spec's:

-At least an i5 from the 4000 series of chips (IE i5 4590 is what Oculus used to recommend as a minimum) or 3000 series if you can overclock (I have an OC'd i7 3770k at 4.6 ghz and it's working great) EDIT: Also a Ryzen r5 1500 or better would work. Gotta rep team Red!

-Standard gaming amount of RAM, 8-16GB

-Modern mid-range graphics card like an RX 480/580, or a GTX 1060 6GB, or a higher end older card like a GTX 970 or R9 380x (this would be cutting it close)

I wouldn't recommend using anything older than that, any kind of stutter can and will make you ill. Trust me, sim sickness is no fun haha

If you've got any other question feel free to ask!

u/Vagrant_Charlatan · 5 pointsr/Vive

If you just want to play Elite Dangerous/StarCitizen, just pick up the Oculus Rift. It's cheaper, and the different trade offs won't matter as much since you will be using it seated. You'll likely enjoy the room scale stuff too though, but at least the buy in is much lower at $400 in case you don't care for it. The price will be going up soon.

u/Seth0351 · 4 pointsr/longrange

So you'll need a few things for the game, first is a decent computer. Second is the actual VR bundle, I would suggest either the HTC Vive or the Oculus Rift. There's a lot of good discussion on which one to get on various subreddits, /r/Vive, /r/oculus and /r/virtualreality.

Games:

Practism VR if you do IDPA or that type of stuff

Hotdogs Horseshoes and Handgrenades is a good game with a lot of weapons and good mechanics. /r/H3VR

Onward is the game OP was talking about

Pavlov VR is like counter strike in VR, awesome video comparison here

There are a few others but those are the standard as of now

u/harzens · 3 pointsr/argentina

Me parece que mucha opinion de gente que NO tiene un Vive/Rift por aca, o lo probó 15 mins, o lo compro solo de capricho, o pura envidia (?.

Proud Rift owner here: La mejor compra de los ultimos 2 años lejos despues del upgrade de pc que hice. Por suerte en mi caso me lo trajo uno de mis jefes de US cuando vino para aca (tengo muy buena relacion). La recomendacion del Rift siempre es comprar 1 sensor extra, salen 49.99 en US (Compras el Pack Rift Touch + 1 sensor mas), asi tenes 3 y podes hacer room tracking. El tracking es perfecto si posicionas bien las cosas, incluso con 2 sensores.

Algunas cosas a considerar:

  • Necesitas BUEN hardware, hace una diferencia abismal. Pasé de usar el Rift de un i7 4670k a un i7 7700k y hubo un improvement de al menos 50 fps y NADA de stuttering. (tengo una 1070 btw). Tambien depende un poco de cada aplicacion/juego, pero bueno.
  • Necesitas BUEN mobo para el tema USB, requerimiento son 3 USB 3.0 (Headset, 2 sensores) y el tercer sensor en USB 2.0
  • Hay 'poca' seleccion de juegos hoy en dia, pero esta mejorando muchisimo esto, comparado a hace 1 año atras hay al menos 4 veces mas cosas para elegir, incluso juegos de 'alta gama' tipo fallout/doom. El ecosistema en general se esta puliendo muchisimo en ambos lados (Steam/Oculus) y hay algunas 'experiencias' o directamente juegos completos que van como piña. Aguante RoboRecall igual.
  • Necesitas espacio. Lo recomendado es al menos 2m x 2m. Personalmente tengo un espacio (moví TODO en casa) libre de 2.5 x 1.7, lo necesitas si queres moverte libre.
  • El Oculus Rift con los Touch controllers son excelentes, se sienten como una extension de tu mano. La version de consumer esta muy bien pulida y va como piña. Son lo mejor que se puede hacer en VR ? No, faltan 5 - 10 años para eso. Hoy en dia son de lo mejor y mas comodo. El Vive es muchisimo mas pesado, bulky, incomodo y los controles son 2 palos.
  • El Vive hizo muchas cosas muy bien, pero todavia le falta mas laburo. Las versiones actuales son mas tech kit que otra cosa. Eso si....los nuevos controles que estan haciendo se van de tema, son la re puta posta, pero dado que lo esta haciendo Valve, van a salir soon™
  • La diferencia de precio es bastante importante entre los 2 JAJA
  • Hubo 2 meses que deje de usarlo....por que me esguince el tobillo (IRL, pise mal una baldoza :C). Ni bien me recupere lo segui usando. La verdad es que sigo volviendo y volviendo. Juego mucho al Kingspray y un par de veces a la semana intento darle un rato al BoxVR o Soundboxing para moverme un poco. Hay varios juegos multiplayer que estan increibles y te dan ganas de jugar. Si tenes conocidos o amigos que puedan jugar con vos mejor aun, te da muchas mas ganas de jugarlo juntos digamos. No pierde su encanto, siempre salen cosas nuevas y demas. Ultimamente le meto muchisimo al Kingspray por que es mi ambiente de Relax, lo-fi hip hop de fondo y a graffitear 3 horas.
  • Hay juegos que la verdad te cambia la percepcion de una forma increible. Jugué mucho Elite Dangerous unos años atras antes de Horizon, pero meterte ADENTRO de las naves y ver lo INMENSO de todo es una experiencia completamente diferente, mas si tenes un joystick o un hotas bien zarpado. Estas ADENTRO, no hay con que darle.
  • Somos early adopters. El VR para las masas va a estar listo en 10 años, probablemente exponencialmente mas para que sea tan comun como una pc o consola.
  • Cuanto gastas en boludeces? La mayoria gastamos banda en pelotudeces...hay que aprender a gastar bien y un oculus o vive no estan fuera de alcance ni ahi. Hay gente que compra televisores por 70k ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  • Fijate de alguna forma que alguien te lo traiga o en algun viaje. Tenes alternativas como tiendamia, pero obviamente suman al precio. En Europa es mas caro TODO, sin embargo el pack oculus+touch esta bastante accesible/barato en comparacion : https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B073X8N1YW/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new , traerlo a argentina sale ~14k pesos en tu puerta, con posibilidad que te devuelvan 2k de impuestos. Lo choto es que Oculus no vende los sensores sueltos en Amazon EU. Igualmente basicamente estas comprando a precio 'costo', la mitad que en argentina incluso pagando los impuestos
  • Vas a transpirar como cerda. Es normal, te vas a estar moviendo obviamente...hay formas de mejorar esto, yo compre un accesorio de cover de tela para la goma del oculus y nunca mas me cague de calor en la cara (a menos que haga ejercicio)
  • No se si se nota pero amé, amo y amaré VR en la plataforma que sea (en PC, obviamente, Vive/Rift). Hay mucho por delante y recien arrancamos. Hoy en dia recomiendo el Rift, lejos. Y lo digo como fan de Gaben y todo lo que sea Valve.
  • Y lo mas importante, el porno no lo vale, es un zarpado gimmick, ni te gastes. Mis amigos todos se volvian loco por probar ver un video porno, es una gadorcha atomica. Mas facil comprar esos headset chinos berretas para el celular y ya.

    Bueno corto pq ya llene la mitad del limite de chars JAJA

u/LifeOfFyre · 3 pointsr/flightsim

Now I do agree with putting forward the money towards flight time as those costs really add up!

I do also have to agree with your original thoughts. Having a home flight sim can be beneficial if done right.

I myself have a setup and it has helped me and I know quite a few others that’s it’s helped also. If taken serious and done right a Flight sim can be used to practice outside of training hours. It can also be very helpful for instrument training and more.

The costs aren’t cheap but to answer your original question of what the costs would be, I put this together for you as an example.

1.A Mid to high Powered Custom built PC

(Includes basics of building a pc,)
$1864.00(+tax)

2.Prebuilt Mid to High PC(Aeon 5003)

—Optional —

  • Monitor if needed(27” ideal)

    —-

    To Sum it up the cost you would be looking at(for options 2/3/4/5/6)
    $2971.00 +tax


    Sounds like a lot but it’s value and use in what it could provide, could be greater then putting money forward for actual training.
    Remember that throughout her training/aviation career(at school and work) a lot of training ends up also being done on Flight sims.

    Hope this helps. Any questions feel free to ask.

    Cheers.

u/Zaga932 · 2 pointsr/virtualreality

I wrote up a more or less spec sheet comparison between Rift & Vive for someone else the other day, and among other things it includes a video that does a good job at comparing SDE & effective resolution between Rift & Vive, but owing to the blown up zoomed in nature of the video, it isn't representative of what you actually see inside the headset.

Simply put, yeah, it's there, it's noticeable, moreso on Vive than Rift, but once you get into the immersion of the experience it fades into background noise.

Also, Rift is currently on sale for $350 on Amazon and Best Buy.

u/arbitrarytext · 2 pointsr/cm3d2

Those headsets have only been out for a month so it's too soon to say. They only just started Steam VR's beta for them yesterday. When supports for them becomes official it'll be listed on the game's update page(currently it only lists the Rift and HTC Vive.)

As for price, as of this writing the Rift is $399, the Vive is $599 and the Windows HMDs are between $399 and $499.

There'll probably be a black friday sale for the Rift and Vive but not for the new Windows HMDs as they just came out. One of the VR subreddits might be able to give more insight as just how much they're compatible with current software. For example, some users have been able to make games that work for the Rift only and the Vive only work on the other system so it's not too much of a stretch if a user might've been able to make code to help the Window's HMD's compatability.

u/zaqintosh · 2 pointsr/EliteDangerous

A few questions as a TrackIR user, entertaining the possibility of getting a rift.

I have an i7 cpu and geforce 1070 card.

A) Will it work out of box to get above frame rate features? or is there special stuff I have to install and configure?

B) In the past I heard about fuzziness, crap resolution. Is this resolved? Can I use default settings in "ultra" or are there must have settings that won't be enabled by default ?

Bb) Also I've customized the FOV a little for my 27" monitor, is this something I need to set back to default ?

c) I have a HOTAS setup + keyboard ... I can obviously feel my way around the stick and throttle without using my eyes, but I often have to glance down at my keyboard for a few keys I have bound for special things... Is this basically impossible with VR? I'm not sure I can bind everything I need to the buttons on my HOTAS set-up.

d) will the base $399 system be enough? or do I need to buy a sensor accessory for head tracking?
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW/

u/Cybyss · 2 pointsr/oculus

Weird. A new Rift-Touch bundle on U.S. Amazon is $700, but that's only from one of those ridiculously overpriced 3rd party retailers and not from Amazon directly. It's not available otherwise unless you want to buy used.

u/Mr_Shiba · 2 pointsr/EliteDangerous



Oculus touch bundle, very good value. You even get Robo Recall for free, which is a pretty decent VR shooter

u/mnstrspeed · 1 pointr/Unity3D

Yep, Rift + Touch is $399. Even the Vive (also includes controllers) is only $499 nowadays :) Leap Motion is really promising, but the field of view on their current gen sensor is pretty limiting. Really interesting to play with, but probably not that useful if you're making VR games yet. Also, I don't think their SDK works with Android, in case you're thinking of sticking it on one of the standalone headsets.

People are saying to get the Deluxe Audio Strap for the Vive, which is $99.

u/Mecatronico · 1 pointr/oculus

In fact, they do, you can order the rift there, but I dont know how warranty would work if you are unlucky to have any problem, that is why I did not order it yet, if they will not cover the warranty in Brazil it will be less expensive to just get one on MercadoLivre anyway.


https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506005271&sr=8-3&keywords=rift&th=1

From this page you can see they ship to Brazil.

Shipping & Fee Details

Price $499.00

AmazonGlobal Shipping + $82.54

Estimated Import Fees Deposit + $553.16

Total $1,134.70

This price, that includes everything even the importing fees, equals to R$3560,00, you can find it on MercadoLivre starting at R$3300(without warranty but you can pay in up to 12x, in amazon you need to pay all at once), you choose now.

u/rundmcarlson · 1 pointr/technology

Rift + touch ($399), 3rd sensor ($59.99). $460 for the pair, unless you meant the $350 I paid. I paid $350 because I bought it from a couple who won it at our company christmas party and had no interest in it, then bought another sensor. I believe it was on sale for $350 at one point (without 3rd sensor) but I think it was a christmas sale.

u/JamesWjRose · 1 pointr/oculus

ah.

Good for you for taking that time and doing the research. Amazon has it for $400, as does everyone else. Best Buy had it for about $25 cheaper a week or so ago (sorry) I pay for Amazon Prime and their process and return policy are great, so that's why i go there.

Get yourself hdmi and usb extension cables, you will ABSOLUTELY want these. (I really want it to be wireless but....)

u/WinterborneTE · 1 pointr/EliteDangerous

The DK2 is trash, and is not worth the $90 you'd spend on it.

If you're looking for a cheaper headset, they aren't quite as solid IMO as the Vive or Oculus CV, but the windows mixed reality headsets are a MUCH better experience than the DK2 will give. A DK2 is going to be less good of a VR experience than using a cellphone VR setup, and might turn you off of VR entirely if you think it's going to be representative of the final experience. That said, given your GPU I'd hold off, upgrade your GPU and then see about getting a headset, otherwise you're not going to run things too well.

Final version Oculus is currently on sale for $350. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW/

As that is the exact rift I have.

I'm not seeing this exact one selling anywhere for less than $315, but I'm willing to budge if I can find this one selling other places.

Hey all,
I've been looking into buying an Oculus VR setup for the PC I built a few months ago. Does anyone know if they ever go on sale? The bundle I'm looking at is $399.99. Oculus Rift I know it's best if you buy an additional sensor, which I plan on doing as well. I'm still looking around to see if I can find a better deal.

Thanks guys (and gals); I appreciate any assistance you send my way. Cheers.

Wait - which products are you talking about? Rift is $400 and Vive is $600. To achieve parity, you should add a sensor for the Rift and the DAS for the Vive - so the difference is more than $200.

Which will give you basically the same experience. Some prefer the Rift, some prefer the Vive. But neither is objectively better.

Which comes with a DAS built in, SEVEN Free games, and is $200 less.

Just giving folks options here.
