Oculus Go is now...er...go.

[Luke.]

Almost bought one on impulse earlier. But I've already got the GearVR, which I barely use, paired with an S8+. I find it blurry and unreliable. Anyone used both and how do they compare?

Perhaps this isn't the revolution Oculus were hoping for.....

I've one on order, arriving next week.

I think its the next step in VR. Dropping a mobile phone in to some sort of feeble holder was never "the answer" and neither is relying on a heavy duty PC / console to drive it.

Pricepoint is right, quality seems good, functionality seems good.

Reviews vary between Good and Excellent.

It might not be perfect but its the way forward.

Lots of deals popping up on HotUKDeals which are going HOT. Usually a good sign in terms of interest.

Argos have a 10% off offer on on their ebay sales so thats attracting people. They like a bargain over there

Did anyone get one of these. Reviews seem to say they’re great for watching movies and basic games.

It's all about the Oculus Quest now.

I did. Yes, great piece of kit. Very good intro to VR. A real wow factor if you've never seen VR before.

But, as has been said i'd be aiming for Quest as it seems to be leaps and bounds ahead, unless i could get a very heavily discounted Go.

If you just want to watch netflix and films etc go is much cheaper though.

The quest looks like it’s only just as good for the above but much more expensive and more for gaming?

I personally didnt use it for netflix. It sounds like a better idea than i actually found it to be.

The headset is quite noticable in terms of weight and it can be quite warm on your eyes.

All fine for a period of gaming, but i never enjoyed it for netflix.

Other people may feel differently.

The trouble with this stuff is that I expect it has to be experienced to get the benefit?

You can go on YouTube and see what a game looks like but VR obviously needs to be seen, in . . er VR.

I like gaming and all this tech but don’t have a PC. Just ‘my kids’ xboxones.

It sounds like I should definitely buy a quest?

In fairness, theres a big price difference between the two. If you're looking an experiment in VR and see what its like, the Go is a decent entry point. I kept mine about three months and then sold it to CEX. Returned a decent percentage of my money and had a bit of fun at the time.

Did you get a quest or something else instead?

No i left it at that.

I kind of take the approach with tech that if i'm not using it, i'll sell it to recover the bulk of my money, rather than let it gather dust and become worthless.

Once playing the games novelty wore off i didnt bother with it much. I work away from home a lot and would rather just watch Netflix on a decent tablet beside me rather than use the headset.

Its worth trying and maybe you will get more use from it that me.
