[center][b]Oculus Rift comes to 48 Best Buy stores May 7th
HTML http://www.engadget.com/2016/05/02/oculus-rift-comes-to-48-best-buy-stores-may-7th/[/b]
Ya know, we have talked about Oculus Rift and other similar
products in a plethora of different threads on this forum and I
can never find the specific thread I want to comment on at a
later date. So, it's high time it gets its own thread now.
Better late than never. As for the news that OR will be hitting
Best Buy stores this week, I can't find which 48 stores are part
of this. I'm very interested in checking this out for myself.
I've been interested for a long time. Even though the price is
way out of my range, I still want to experience this in person.
I have 2 Best Buy locations nearby, but with my luck, neither
will have it.

Great idea for the thread. Like drones, I believe VR will be a
growing thing.
I too would like to check it out. I did check out the high end
curved 3D screens at BestBuy and it was fun. But... Not enough
for me own.

I guess the cheapest option for me will be the VRPS4.

So, has anyone had a chance to check out some of the VR sets out
there yet? Does your local Best Buy have one on display as
mentioned back a few post?

Man, that bites. Well, at least your BB has a display. Neither
of the BB's here have one. WTF.

My Best Buy has one, the Samsung one with the phone in it, I've
stuck my head in a couple times, it's cool. But it's all
pre-recorded stuff, so it's like you're deep sea diving into a
television... which is cool... but without a monster PC or
something to render a game like Star Citizen or anything else,
you really don't "get" what all VR can be.

Not a VR headset, but falls into the same category. This is
definitely something I'm interested in. I see the Avegant Glyph
being more / immediately accessible than the VR Sets. Until they
have a substantial library of titles to choose from, I would go
with this for the time being. Now if I had a Best Buy that would
actually display this on the floor, I'd check it out for myself.
Only downside (but expected) is the sticker price.
