If you already have a capable current spec gaming PC (i7, 1060+ GPU), you can get a headset and controllers for $300 on sale (Samsung Odyssey WMR for example) and jump into roomscale VR. If you don't yet have a gaming PC, thate is where the costs begin to pile up.

A used Occulus rift probably.

Contrary to what many believe, you don't need a beefy GPU for VR. A 1060 or 480 and up is good enough to run most games smoothly. It does eat more ram though so I'd say upgrade to 16gb if your only on 8.

Buying a VR Headset
I've been on the fence for awhile now. A few games out there looked pretty good, but not enough for that $500+ price tag for the Vive. And yes, I would only consider the vive, because of how further along it is. Seeing this trailer pushed me over the fence and into the neighbors yard. The combat looks phenomenal. Character models aren't fantastic, but the combat alone looks like it makes up for ALL of that. Thoughts?

VR is totally worth it, and not just for blade and sorcery.

the game is a ton of fun, but i wouldnt buy a VR set for it alone.


that said, i do highly recommend you do buy that vive, you wont regret it, there is a ton of great games to play.

especially if you havent tried VR yet, i mean real room scale quality VR, then you dont really understand how good it is.

This is a common misunderstanding that's been around since 2016.

If you're equating "further along" to "been out the longest", then you're technically correct. It's definitely a decent contender, but there are so many competitors out there now providing an equal or better experience for much lower price. HTC still doesn't package the deluxe audio strap with it, their controllers are awkard to hold, don't have analog sticks, and the touch pads break frequently (wand replacements are $130 a pop). It's not "further along" in any way, it's the one left in the dust. I switched out my Vive for a Rift as soon as they dropped the ridiculous price tag for a bundle deal.

At this point in the game, i'd look into the Samsung Odyssey+ or the Rift - much better values overall, in addition to better comfort and controllers. There's also been many leaked images of an actual Valve headset (meaning made by Valve, not HTC) coming next year, potentially with bundled games - if you can wait. Personally I may even swap out my Rift for a Valve headset, if all the leaks end up true. Just my 2c. :steamhappy:

Honestly I'd wait until the next gen arrives, which is relatively soon. This way if you can't afford next gen then current gen is going to be eeeeven cheaper. And current gen is pretty good right now.

Hopefully though the next gen headsets won't be too much more expensive than current gen, so it's best to wait, unless you REALLY want to try it out.

I got my rift from Ebay for about £350 pounds. Worth every penny.
I5 user here, running a 1060 and acer wmr, hassle free roomscale. be it not the super best hand tracking its still the best investment ive made in years

Just get a Rift. It's cheaper, has the better controllers, comes with a bunch of free and really good games(Robo Recall is a must), it's lighter and in some aspects has better image quality and "exclusives" like Lone Echo and Wilson's Heart which are worth playing.

You really can't go wrong with either. They're both very similar unless you want the full room scale experience in which case the Vive is better. If it's standing and semi-full room scale or a sitting experience the Rift is the sure choice, however.

Image quality for both is similar, tracking for both is on par with room scale being the exception and they both weigh roughly the same although the Rift is lighter(And you do tend to notice it).

Honestly, though. After a month or two and sweating after ten minutes of having two screens strapped to your eyeballs you'll get bored of VR. 90% of people who have it tend to gravitate away from using VR and just go for a traditional experience. Having said that, VR is worth it. I mean, a Rift, two touch controllers, two sensors and a bunch of free games is only €400 including tax. That's pretty decent for what you're getting and it's a whole new experience. Anything beyond that is crazy money though.

If you already have a good PC that can handle VR, you're genuinely interested in it and have a couple of games you know you'd enjoy playing then go for it. After the first couple of months you'll mostly use your VR setup as a bit of fun for guests or parties.

For me I haven't put my headset on in forever, it just takes too much time to bother with and, being frank, I find some games are ten times better on normal screens than in VR, Skyrim being one of them.

If you are looking for something cheaper I would suggest Windows mixed reality.
I have to lenovo WMR it cost me $300 for headset and controllers and the thing with the WMR is that it has the sensors on the headset Unlike the vive and rift with those two you will need sensors and in order to get a good 360 degree you will need three sensors.

But with the WMR you can turn around and not have any sensor problems because it is constantly tracking when you turn around there for no tracking loss. I used to have a rift and I can tell you I am much happier with my Lenovo WMR quality is just as good as the Rift the controllers feel more snug than the rift. it has a quick set up you jsut plug in and play no need to set up your sensors as they are already on the head set and I cant stress enough about how convinient that is it reduced set up time drastically.

The only complaint I have about the Lenovo WMR is that the head set get unconfortable after awhile of playing.

Hope this helps :D
vive pro ftw.
I'd go with rift. You will be glad you saved a little once the neat gimmicky factor wears off. Which doesnt take long.

Cheap and VR don't belong in the same sentence but hey, it's worth it.
VR gaming is like stepping into another world.
The original vive is pretty cheap now for what you get. Of course you're gonna want to crank the super sampling which means a GTX1080 will be in your sights.
Costs can add up quick.
I think steam has a system checker for VR for the bare minimum
