...I am ashamed Im dropping such long links.
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).
While not impossible, I don’t think this represents any form of evidence. You also have a Vive headset, Vive controllers, and Vive base stations. The reason you’d specify “headset” in the product name is that it’s not a complete system. People need to be aware that they’re buying the headset only, and need to own or buy the base stations etc. separately.
Sneaky person posting up here. Let's not do that anyone else. But you have a good move.

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.
It are here on amazon for same price with free shipping.

Edit: added a dollar sign to 950 in the beginning.
I'd definitely just buy the full touch controller kit that comes with both controllers and a camera for $99 USD. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-pc/dp/B01BHMS88A
If you own a Vive then you already have the controllers. But if you're on Oculus or OSVR you'll have to buy them separately. I don't think you can buy Vive controllers yet but there's also Oculus Touch and Leap Motion, though Leap requires you to have your hands in front of your headset to work. HTC is also working on improved controllers that can sense individual fingers, but personally I've had no issues manipulating objects in VR space with the current controller solutions we have. I
tl;dr: Buy the Oculus Touch controllers if you don't have a Vive.
HTC Vive - $499
Oculus Rift - $419
Samsung Odyssey - $498
Lenovo Explorer - $275
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?)

For 150 more you can get an oculus rift, futuristic controllers that track the movements of your hands, and 7 free games. I would stay away from the one you linked.
> neither is comfortable to wear for extended periods without needing to adjust or take breaks
I don't know for the Vive, but I can play Eleven for hours without a problem on the Rift.
> Oculus is a little bit cheaper
Oculus Rift + Oculus Touch Bundle is at $598 and HTC Vive is at $799.99 on amazon, that a $200 difference, not a little bit cheaper.
> it's a little bit better looking, and it's a little bit more comfortable. Don't exaggerate the differences.
It's $200 cheaper and by your own admission better looking and more comfortable. If we were talking about any other products like phones or laptops there would be a clearly superior product here. Funny how it does not translate to VR.
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.
$194 for headset and controllers on Amazon
Yeah, I don't actually recommend it unless you have a lot of disposable income. Valve was going for "highest quality VR experience available" and not "affordable". If you want a good VR headset on a reasonable budget, you probably want a Rift S($399), a used Vive ($400), or an Odyssey Plus( $349).
Vive and Odyssey plus have a better refresh rate. Vive is the hardest to set up, but has the most robust hand tracking, followed by the Rift S, followed by the Odyssey plus, which have progressively narrower zones of hand tracking. The Odyssey plus does have the nicest screen in terms of resolution of all three, so that's a significant advantage.
Oh, and don't get the Rift S if you have unusually widely or narrowly set eyes. The lack of hardware IPD adjustment really sucks for the far ends of the bell curve there.

Amazon looks to be running a sale on the controllers atm.

I can't believe this. Oculus can't do this. It's illegal.
I order the bundle WITH the Xbox one Controller. If I don't get what I order, I want compensation.
[EDIT]: I ordered July 11 on Amazon a few days before the new bundle announcement. I have two link in my command details:
Headset: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00VF0IXEY/ref=pe_3034960_233709270_TE_item
Touch: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01BHMS88A/ref=pe_3034960_233709270_TE_item
On the product page, it's clearly say: Included Oculus Remote and Xbox One controller.
Windows Mixed Reality will automatically track and recognize different rooms that you've set up, as long as things haven't changed too much since the last time it saw it.
My Odyssey is on an Alienware 17R4 that I move between multiple locations, and I almost never have to setup the rooms again. I just wave the headset around a bit when I start the WMR portal and let it scan across the room and floor and it almost always automatically recognizes the room and restores my boundaries.
Even if it says it couldn't match the room and prompts for setup, it's actually still looking and matching, so don't give up immediately, wave it around a bit more, and it might still pick up the old scan.
If you need a long cable run between rooms, I suggest buying a Vive Link Box and power supply, and use it in the middle of the cable run to boost the signal and power. And also use active extensions cables.
Make sure you power cycle the Vive Link Box whenever you plug or unplug anything into it to for it to reinitialize and detect the headset.

Well my pre-ordered Rift is due to arrive tomorrow, so it's not a worry for me.
Before Brexit it was priced at £799 - so they added £100 on. Also, they claim the recommended price is £1299! That would be about $1,689 at post-Brexit rates and $2,117 at normal rates. EDIT - and I have just looked and they are sold out (they had 5). Edit of edit - no, they now have 9...

I saw one used for demo in a "New Tech" shop (opened but never plugged in) for £400 last week and was sorely tempted - so glad I didn't bite.

Can't say I agree but to each their own.
Have you tried the Vive Link Box? I've heard that people have extended their Rift length with it.
Maybe this youtube video can help. Also make sure you have your latest BIOS for your motherboard and of course drivers. I got a 2700x this year and had tons of usb issues with the Rift which was weird since it ran fine on my old pc. Turned out I just needed to upgrade my bios.
Rift + Touch is $600 :)

I have over 300 hours in an Oculus Rift. Actually, I have three Oculus Rifts, because I accidentally dropped and broke two of them. (Not a design fault per se, I was just careless twice. If you drop it on a hard surface from 5 feet up, it WILL shatter the screen.) I also possess a HTC Vive--which is in a box on the shelf.
I decided to try this "VR thing" when I found a good deal on a used Oculus. It blew me away. Holy crap. I dove so deep that I decided to also get a Vive, to play around with them both and possibly sell whichever one I didn't want.
What I found is that the Vive controllers are obnoxiously heavy and unwieldy, especially with my favorite game, Beat Saber. I felt like I was swinging cleavers around. By comparison, the Oculus Rift touch controllers were more balanced around my palm. Especially in my "Beat Saber grip", which I found was easier to play with if I moved my fingers up into the ring until the outer ring rests against my knuckles. This centers the weight of the controller squarely in my palm, and makes it so that I can swing the controllers faster than humanly possible.
Either of the headsets will do pretty good tracking. However, I do strongly recommend getting a third sensor, regardless of which set you choose--adding another sensor DRAMATICALLY helps with tracking for any game that requires you to turn around, and even helps with tracking on games that you face forward but sometimes your hands go in weird angles. Set the sensors in a triangle formation around the room.
I can go over cons of both if you want, but my absolute endorsement is going to go to the Oculus Rift, based primarily on the controllers. The controllers are your window into the world, and the Rift Touch controllers are phenomenal digital extensions of your physical hand. The controllers are BY FAR the most important thing to consider when choosing a headset. And, when the next-gen headsets come out, I will be making my choice based solely on the controllers.
A few things you will want to accessorize with if you pick the Rift. You'll notice that half of these are to keep your equipment clean--this is a lot more important than you think at first.
There are kits out there to let you suspend the cord from the ceiling, but I feel like that's overkill--I always just have it run between my legs to the computer. I can feel it against my lower leg or calf and know where it is so I don't trip. Note that this is fine for beat saber, but for games where you are turning around constantly, it may be a problem. The main thing is to have plenty of slack on your cord so if you trip you don't yank something, you can really damage the USB cord if you yank it at an angle. If you can somehow pin the cable against or under furniture so that a hard yank does not tug at your USB port, even better.
Finally: some games are a goddamn workout, like Beat Saber. Treat these games like you would treat cardio: stretch beforehand, warm up, drink water, have a towel nearby, and have a fan on you. AND KEEP YOUR EQUIPMENT CLEAN.
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.
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!
It's not much more to get it new with touch, which you'll want.

Same for Rift S
Grips, the battery casings on the Oculus Touch controller are attached via magnet and come off easily if you're playing games with fast movement like Beat Saber. Also, it lets you let go of the controller without dropping them like the Valve Index Controllers which is a nice QoL improvement of being able to let go after hours of playing.
I recommend the AMVR versions as it's easy to take off to replace the battery of the controller: https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR
i bought these and they came with a perfect nose light block as a bonus. Works perfect!
Kiwi straps suck. Mamut Grips are best for big hands, but are good. AMVR are the best grips. I own both grips. I threw the kiwi things in the garbage.
The silicon interface depends on the person. It doesn't sandpaper your face like the stock one, and feels nice and cool for the first 5 minutes, but it feels awful once it gets sweaty - imagine a wet rubber wedgie on your face. I currently have the VRCover 'facial interface set' with the 'comfort' pad that is pleather. It isn't perfect, but its the best I have found.
I hear some good things about the Studioform strap, but it looks hot and one more thing to mess with. I went went with the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap, but that costs money. I ripped the headphones out of it, so I just have stock audio. I love the quick-adjust thing on the DAS like a hard hat - makes switching people so much faster and better.
Then there is the cable. I don't do the Oculus Link, but even so I have kids and I have heard of people ruining the cable charge port on the Quest yanking on it. I got one of those magnetic USB adapters to reduce the risk of port damage.
All of the goodies need to fit in a case, and I love this thing - its super sturdy and fits it all without being too big.
Then if you want to play in the dark you need a good IR light so it is dark for your wife to sleep but the Quest can still see.

Amazon blurb:
Touch ships with an additional Sensor to ensure accurate, robust tracking. The controllers are wireless so you can move and interact freely in the virtual world
Seems pretty black and white... yes. It comes with a sensor.
This is just a list of Oculus articles, not a store where Oculus sells this.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01BHMS88A/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all
There is no official Oculus listing. You can't blame them for this.
I have ordered this one, figured one that fits the GearVR might be close enough. We shall see...

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

amazon.com specifically mentions the two as preorder bonuses, requiring a code to be sent out.
E: Oculus blog says DaB free for Touch, no mention of preordering.
E: VRSC bundled with all preorders.
Blog for Touch pre-order launch also says
>"Touch ships globally on December 6, and you can pre-order now for $199 USD.* It comes with a second sensor and a Rock Band VR connector. Plus, all pre-orders (including retail pre-orders) come bundled with The Unspoken and VR Sports Challenge so you can cast spells and throw touchdown passes on day one."
So some stuff mentioned as free, others specifically mentioned as preorder bundled.
Direct link to Amazon. I accidentally copied my SD post link to this Reddit post instead of Amazon's.
This is even cheaper than the $90 sale from 4 days ago.
I already need a cable longer than 15ft (5m), so the loss of the included usb extender in the sensor doesn't really affect me.
I use a Vive Link Box to extend the headset. I like this approach because it does not really matter what cables you use because it's an active repeater with its own psu and it's made with VR in mind.
I use it as a breakout box to connect my puter in the bedroom to my Rift in the living room. I'm also using the displayport (dp to mini dp cable) connection on the Link, freeing up my limited hdmi for my projector. It's nice to be able to plug into an dedicated ports in an attractive component sitting nicely on a shelf whenever I want to use it.
Link Box
psu
For sensors I found the ugreen active 3.0 extensions recommended on this sub to work very well (meaning they do not revert to USB2.0).
I had the same problem with my Vive. First, I tried to replace the cable with the 3-in-1 and it did not fix the problem.
For me it was the link box that fixed it for me. $30 on amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box/dp/B01LXR6DKV/
A few things:
SuperHot (you stand in one place)
Chronos (fixed camera position in a 3rd person adventure)
Eleven: Table Tennis (ping pong simulation, 1:1 physical movement only)
BigScreen (not a game, but lets you screen share with friends or join public rooms)
Pinball FX2 (if you like pinball this is a great sim)
I Expect You To Die (an "escape the room" game with great quality and humor)
Wilson's Heart (a stylized "film noir" story/puzzle/adventure game with fixed teleport positions)
The Unspoken (become a Dr. Strange-like mage in 1v1 or single player magic battles; I haven't played the single-player campaign but the PvP only uses teleport to fixed spots)
Star Trek Bridge Crew (you're seated on the bridge of the Enterprise)
Space Pirate Trainer (physical movement only; you're too busy dodging bullets to get sick)
That should give you a good start! Welcome to the future!
Edit: Some people swear by the VR Cover replacement facial interface, but I haven't used it. I've also heard great things about the WidmoVR cover - it covers the standard Rift facial interface with a replaceable soft cover that may make it more comfortable. You may want to check it out as a slightly cheaper alternative.

Then I would recommend you do not buy from BB :P
Grab these cotton VR covers. I got these a while back and they do wonders for keeping the sweat out of the HMD and the default covers. It comes in a set of two so you can just wash and rotate between them. Two things to note though, they are a little annoying to put on, and they're a bit rough feeling at first (although I think that wears off as you break them in).
Aside from that, these wand skins are also pretty great for keeping the sweat out. But I've actually come to like them more for the fact they actually make the grip buttons easier to press.
Get these:
HTC Vive VR Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZZ3M8B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_LdjBJyiYlehMP
HTC Vive Memory Foam Face Foam Replacement 6mm (Better FOV) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HM4QB0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_xvibDrKgRkBXb

You need a VR Cover and do you wear glasses at roughly 4 feet? If so, you need lenses. Then there are googly eyes, rubber condoms for your controllers or hmd, sanitary masks for sharing your Vive, extension cables if you have the room to use them, and an ac controller to turn everything on and off. There's probably more but that will get you started.
I've used these since I bought my Vive. You get two reusable and washable covers. The material is a little coarse at first, but washing it with fabric softener helps.
In case it's a concern, I also have a TPCast and this cover creates enough clearance between my eyes and the screen that I don't see the green line but not so much that I notice a diminished field of view. I tried other foam replacements/covers and this was the best I found.
I haven't tried that but will give it a shot. I'm purchasing this and will get back to you: https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-3-1-Cable-Pc/dp/B01MQW49B3
You need:
1.) XLR connector like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00067JJ8Q/
2.) Some long enough wire, for example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UR0N370/
3.) One XT60 connector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01E9HM7NC/
4.) Some sort of quick disconnect plug, example: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZOIJ0S/ (this is so that it can easily disconnect if you crash without damaging the cable)
Then just solder those parts together and you're ready to go.
PS: This case is optional but it perfectly fits 2 carvepower battery cases and the solar charger device + cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/
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.

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.

Oculus Rift + Touch Bundle https://www.amazon.de/dp/B073X8N1YW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.siMzbA8MAHM1
The Oculus Rift + Touch bundle is still going on. You get everything you need for roomscale VR, it's 100$ more than this. From personal experience having a CV1, a Vive and quite a bit of use with the PSVR... get an oculus no doubt. The PSVR is nothing in comparison and not roomscale ready at all. It feels a lot more like a DK2 did. While the CV1 isn't too far off in terms of specs for the headset, it DOES have roomscale. The biggest difference between Oculus and the PSVR is that the PSVR uses visible light tracking which is no where near as good. Not to mention the PSVR has an even more limited library of games and the PS4 can barely handle it at all.
Amazon say they are expecting stock on August 10th: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oculus-Rift-and-Touch-Bundle/dp/B073X8N1YW/

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:
Bueno corto pq ya llene la mitad del limite de chars JAJA
I don't know if it changes anything but you can get a windows mixed reality headset for about $180 that can play all vive games (including VRchat). I'm tempted to get one myself considering how cheap they're getting. Link
It's just a direct link to the item. I get the same link if I go to amazon directly and search for the item.

anything that in US store is 100$ in EU is 100E , even if you buy it from Amazon, for example. Things in US are much cheaper, and importing them here you need to pay transport, import tax, VAT, etc..
the differences in "other costs" cover about the conversion rate differences, so you can just take the currency sign and change it, for comparisons
sometimes the differences are even larger.:
A Headset-only Vive Pro in US is

and its not even discounted, this is pretty underhanded to try and sell old stock
I would agree about Puget Systems, but I would swith to the Serenity line to get the same parts with Noctua cooling and precision-cut anti-noise foam..

The original box works just fine. But in the future I recommend you get some sort of carrying case. Here is the one I got and I've been very happy with it.
This is the one I got on Amazon. It looks exactly the same as the one above. I like that it's slimmer than the 2800/3800 cases that everyone else bought. It's probably not as tough, but I like that it doesn't take up as much space, and holds everything and a little more.

Glad someone else had the same idea I had. I actually started selling them on amazon How did you attach the wii wrist straps to the inside of the controllers?
Locking straps like these.
I used the old Wii straps for my WMR and they are so much better than the ones that come with the controllers. Especially for Beat Saber!

Disculpa el choclo pero estoy wn el cel
Went with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Esimen-Controllers-Accessories-Waterproof-Carrying/dp/B07STFXHKY/
Little more room for cables, charger and an external battery pack.
It's a little tight, but the controllers even fit with the Mamut Touch Grips. (controller grip skins that let the controllers strap to your hands similar to Valve Index controllers.)
Same product but a bit cheaper here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07STFXHKY/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only protection I have is the case (this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07STFXHKY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) and putting away when I'm not using it. I don't ave any kids or careless friends to break it, so that's enough precaution for me.
The reason I went with AMVR over VRCover was because I'd seen that the VR cover facial interface was pretty rigid whereas the AMVR one is more flexible. Still may try the VRCover one at some point but from what I've read the Quest product hasn't been as universally praised as their prior efforts.
I haven't really felt the need for controller straps yet. None of the games I've played have caused the controllers to fly out of my hands or make the battery covers come out. The wrist straps however do suck. There's a set for sale that is very similar to the ones on the PSVR Move controllers and those straps work great so I may give them a go at some point (DeadEye Wrist Straps).
Poor choice of words on my part. With my PC and Rift S my initial investment was all I needed for a satisfying and comfortable experience. I haven't had to do a single mod on my Rift S and it's worked great and felt great out of the box. I definitely paid more for my PC but as far as the headsets by themselves go the Rift S gave me almost everything I could have asked for right out of the box; coming from PSVR the halo design is so much more comfortable for me.
Honestly, those straps are up there with the new speakers in terms of shitty out-of-the-box build quality. If you have the cash I would strongly suggest these third-party cloth replacements as an alternative. I've got a Rift S and they're way better... they latch tighter and actually hold the grip, since they have a mechanism keeping them in place of a single piece of plastic or whatever governing it
https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/
They are meant to imitate the knuckles controllers, they are competing against the Mamut grips.
There is kind of a workaround to have "knuckel-like" experience and that is amvr straps. https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Controller-Oculus-Anti-Throw-Protective/dp/B07X117LPR/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=amvr+oculus+quest&qid=1574607123&sprefix=AMVR+oculus&sr=8-4

i hear ya. But, that really is the price of early adoption with ANY gadget. There will always be improvements, and you should accept that going in, when you spend the BIG BUCKS for being an early adopter. Is money too tight to spend the $100? https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch/dp/B01BHMS88A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505151431&sr=8-2&keywords=rift+touch
they really are cool to use, and are becoming more of a necessity now, as you pointed out...
I posted this a few weeks back but I wouldn't look at the price of a 3rd sensor so much as the price of a 3rd sensor and a backup set of touch controllers.
https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch/dp/B01BHMS88A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503957957&sr=8-1&keywords=oculus+touch+controller
Click into the additional sellers area and you will find plenty of sellers with good feedback scores selling touch box sets for $75-85 tax free and you get a third sensor in the box. depending on how aggressively you play VR, I've traded paint a handful of times with my wall already and its only a amtter of time until I break a controller so for $80 when I bought mine it was a great deal.
I am trying to buy 3rd sensor, and I thought why not just buy spare controller and sensor? and I came across this answer. is sensor no longer part of controller package?
edit : original link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BHMS88A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The first one comes with an Xbox Controller and the second one comes with the Touch Controllers, which are the best VR controllers on the market.
You want the Touch controllers but you could buy the first item and buy the Touch controllers separate for $100. That way you get an Xbox controller and you save $40.
This is the link for the Touch controllers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BHMS88A
It depends on where you have your computer. The rift cable is about 3 feet shorter than the Vive, which comes with this extension box to use extension cables. This box needs external power via a power plug, which means more cables, while the best buy solution is less messy.
had a similar issue with my 1080ti and believe it or not the easiest fix was to buy a htc vive link box. i tried tons of repeaters and other adapters and nothing worked. got the link box and suddenly my oculus can easily run even the cable listed here:- https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-9-vr-extension-cable-black/5706844.p?skuId=5706844 which is notorious for not working on most gpus. you can buy the link box on amazon here:- https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV but keep in mind that you will have to get the power adapter seperately. i'm using this one with no issues whatsoever:- https://www.amazon.com/12V1-5A-Supply-Adapter-Switching-Cameras/dp/B018JL0YIY/
Get a Vive Link box. Plug it into your graphics card and then you have a nice usb and HDMI extension and a box for it to pull out of if you tug on it. I have one mounted up by the ceiling and use it to plug my headsets in. Gives me 6 feet of extension and makes it easy to swap headsets without getting to the pc.

​
or if you have an RTX card with the usb c displaylink you can try the Accell Adapter. My Odyssey and O+ seem to like it. My original rift is not a fan of it which is funny as it says Oculus ready.

HDMI - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0777SCQZX?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_pd_title
Seems to be pretty good. People also seemed to have success with using the Vive extension box (https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=vive+box&qid=1550992342&s=gateway&sr=8-1)
I don’t know about that far. Maybe with active, it’s like 2am for me so I’ll take a better look at your-setup tomorrow and see if I have any suggestions. One question, do you use the oculus built in mic and audio?
Edit: oh looks like you have hdmi boosted from your cable description so you prob don’t need the HDMI repeater.
Oh it's the Vive breakout box. I read somewhere you can use the rift on it too but I think it would be too expensive for what it's worth.
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV
No, it also has an DP input. See this pic: https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4elfhk/powered_hdmi_and_usb_breakout_box_can_you_find/
It's #4 on that diagram. So that can be DP->DP (Vive box), then the output side of the Vive box is HDMI. I use this setup with my Rift because HDMI is a shitty connector and tends to break or bend pins. DP doesn't have that problem. The only reason they all use HDMI is for copy protection, it's an genuinely awful standard.
BTW: It's possible to buy these Vive breakout boxes standalone from Amazon, so it's an OK solution. I'm fairly sure at this point that the blackout problem is because Rift draws too much power, and is not a bandwidth problem.
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box/dp/B01LXR6DKV/ref=sr_1_31
I see it for sale on Amazon.
I use a 15ft active USB cable, 3ft displayport to hdmi adapter, 15ft active hdmi cable, and a link box in between. With my Lenovo explorer. Works perfectly. Holds 90fps. And no static or anything. I use the bluetooth on the link box.

If you're really desperate... You could probably unscrew your front panel from your case so you can move it closer to the HDMI port. I would just get a little extension cable, or you could get an HTC Vive link box if you want to extend your play space and fix your problem at the same time.
you have to look for the bundle https://smile.amazon.com/Oculus-Rift-Touch-Bundle/dp/B01LYCUM3L/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1499719760&sr=8-3&keywords=oculus+rift
For anyone that missed out on the Rift Touch Bundle, and isn't in a rush to get it, it's orderable now. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LYCUM3L/ref=twister_B01MDN4Y8T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and you get a $100 gift card to your account.
So the ad I saw on Amazon didn't seem to include that...Am I missing something?

Rift and Touch together actually cost $600 right now, so your pricing is off by $100. Also, you get an additional $100 worth of Oculus Store credit if you buy it in the next few days.
Is this not it?

I think this was recommended on the Go subreddit at one point or another. It's a nice rigid case, and surprisingly the quest fit (with both controllers and a battery pack) with no drama.
I think I'll pick up a microfiber pouch to throw the controllers, and charging accessories into to protect the lenses.
Edit - the Quest charging cable fits in the top half's pouch. I'm not saying this is the best Quest case available - but it was a coincidence that I already owned it, and figured other folks might want something low-profile (and cheap). This doesn't leave tons of extra room for accessories - but it's a solid option!
I was a day one adopter, and got this cheap case as it was one of the few available:
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D
​
It's not bad, and is protective enough, but is just a quick adaptation of existing cases (not super customized in any way for the Go. Is relatively cheap as the glue holding the netting compartment has separated a little.
​
If I had to do it again, these both look like potentially interesting upgrades:

I've had great luck with this personally. There's some bad reviews (came malformed) but my 2 came great.
Perhaps get 25 or so sets of these and launder them every day. That would provide 50 uses with clean headsets. Also perhaps offer surgical caps (amazon has 500 for $65) for people to put over their head for sweaty straps/lice concerns
Oculus touch bundle, very good value. You even get Robo Recall for free, which is a pretty decent VR shooter
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.
Hmmm, I'm not seeing it here: https://smile.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW
Oh, I see it's on Newegg: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826910005
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/
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.
Not sure if something else is going on but amazon doesn't have that $50 credit but it is showing a price of $384.98 now.
Edit: back to 399.00 now
Looks like its back in stock at pre rift s price. Like to have a few for Prime Day ;)

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.
No sale at amazon.com.au either
Here is the Amazon link for the said page.
Well actually, there will be a new bundle on Aug 7th, if this Amazon page is telling the truth.
Awesome, thanks for the info. If I wanted to buy an Oculus soon and have it be fully functional, would I need to buy any additional pieces of hardware or would this bundle include everything?

SHARK WEEK
I've seen reviews that the people who are selling the refurb often don't check the product and you'll get things like two left hands, two right hands, busted looking headsets etc. I'd say be careful if you do that, I almost considered it but imo, spend the extra 40 or so bucks and get new.
The Lenovo one which has a higher FOV is 200, and it's what i got recently and enjoy it
Well garbage is pretty subjective, but they give a very playable experience. I edited my post because that's closer to what I'm seeing at this exact moment on amazon. From a quick 10 second search...
Acer for $200 on Newegg
Lenovo Explorer for $210 on Amazon
They go on sale very frequently though. Check buildapcsales. WMR headsets that aren't the Samsung Odyssey are all substantially similar except for styling so dont worry too much about which one ends up on sale.
This is there one I have
refurbished HP
The best of the WMR sets (this one was on sale last week for $299 so keep your eyes out)
MS recommends this Bluetooth dongle
Note the first two are basically the same: they all are, except for the Samsung which has better screens and manual ipd adjustment. The new version I linked to also has built in Bluetooth so you wouldn't need to worry about a dongle. Again in that price point I recommend Rift, though it's a tossup between way better screens and way better controllers, there :)
Edit: also, run the windows mr test -- you can find it in the windows store. If it says you're good, games like beat saber should run fine
I've been reading a lot about it since I'm building a new PC capable of VR and I always wanted to try it.
It's a really good VR headset. The strong poing of the headsets is the price since is more than 50% less than others with the deal (at least here), that's a steal and for an entry VR headset it's great and probably the best (imo).
​
Edit: Game.es also ran out of stock 3-4h after my last reply. Now they're at 250€ for whenever they get new stock...
​
Edit2: Amazon had new stock. They ran out of it really soon but now they're selling the headsets with the deal for the upcoming stock too so if you're interested you could probably get them with the deal. Link
I find I too get nauseous, but only when playing games where you are smoothly moving forward, like you would in a car game or something similar. Hellblade vr is a classic example. I could only play that for 30mins or so before I would feel the motion sickness.
However, playing the games above ( in the YouTube links ) I don't get motion sickness at all !
So I completely recommend it if you have a decent enough computer system to run VR. The only bad thing about VR currently is the price, but I can honestly say it's the best money I've spent because I get a decent sweat on and work out when I'm able to, and it's such good fun.
I never got anything like that out if going to the gym. So for me it's totally worth it . And I really feel more people could benefit from trying it out because of how fun it is . It's a great escape .
You can even play nintendo Wii games in VR also using the dolphinVR emulator.

If any of you do have a decent computer or a good GPU, price wise I totally recommend a Windows mixed reality headset.
They are not quite a good as an oculus rift or a HTC Vive when it comes to tracking, but I have to say they are still surprising good ! and a lot more portable if you want to take the VR with you , if you are using a laptop .

I have the Lenovo explorer, but I also own a HTC Vive. If you can find the Lenovo explorer or any other wmr headset for a decent price it's worth getting because you don't need any external sensors if you need to take the VR setup on holiday or in hospital.
I really think us cf'ers should look into VR for exercise alternatives as well as their normal routine as it's a really fun way to move about. So it's great for body and mind !
I mainly use the VR and dance mat games when I'm unable to get out for a walk ( if the weather is bad or something ). So I use the VR ,weights or dance mat games if I can't get out .
This is a decent dance mat game ( for exercise ) if anyone has their old Wii laying around

Those are definitely WMR controllers. Specifically, I think they are the ones that come with the lenovo explorer headset.
I stumbled upon one review on amazon for WMR (Lenovo Explorer) and someone (user nicknamed Ed) mentioned the tracking issue of their 6dof controllers but he said that he solved the issue of shaking controllers by switching the bluetooh 4 dongle to a USB 2.0 port...so perhaps the USB 3.0 is the issue here for many people and they are not aware of it.

It should be noted that Microsoft actually recommend using a USB 2.0 port for the Bluetooth, so this is expected behaviour, but I mention it in case it may help someone."
Amazon Price(Sold by HTC)
I see that you already figured it out but if anyone else gets confused:
This is the "vive pro full kit" which is retail: $1398 (amazon)
and the wireless adapter which is retail: $250 (on sale amazon)
Had an og vive, got a wireless adapter on amazon at release for 300. You can get them amazon warehouse, bought a used one there for my buddy thats been good as well.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07GKHNBCT/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Then I grabbed a vive pro complete set on amazon warehouse for 755 used. Some really light scratches in the outside plastic of the headband on the left side, so it was a really good deal. Right now it is higher, just depends on whats in stock.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07B9WPR7G/ref=mw_dp_olp?ie=UTF8&condition=all
Swapped the wireless over to that. It requires a free pci-express slot to run the wireless. Some people have said they need to swap their card down to slot 2 and put the wwireless in slot 1 but I havent experienced that on my older 5820k rig.
Ordered the index controllers through Steam store.
The battery is this one, which has a discount right now:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MXCMGB8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Using this calculator and selecting Ontario, Electronics, Battery, I got a grand total of 480.43 CAD. By no means cheap, but the duty is only $27.81. My understanding is that USPS doesn't incur the absurd brokerage fees that UPS does.
For comparison I just went to checkout on Amazon with the Vive's wireless adapter, which is also $299, and after $10.85 s/h, $40.20 import fees deposit (the max you pay for duty and tax, and if they overestimated it then you get a refund), and a random $3 discount it came to $348.03, which works out to ~$463 CAD, so $17 cheaper than the estimate for the TPCast.
Any time I've seen either of these products listed for sale in Canada they're like $499+ before tax and shipping.
Anyway, an expensive item either way, and you're right, it would be way better if Oculus would develop their own adapter instead of relying on third party market that has only one current option and one piece of vaporware (the Rivvr).
Lots of people saying no, but it's on sale on Amazon right now, $50 off...

"Oculus Touch" always comes with an an extra sensor even if not clearly labeled as such. https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch/dp/B01BHMS88A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503953593&sr=8-1&keywords=oculus+touch You can see its confirmed in all the questions and reviews here.
It's dumb that it doesnt clearly state that it Includes; L and R touch controller + Camera Sensor + RockBand VR adapter + 2x AA Batteries
Amazon still selling them so you can get it there. I suspect they removed it as an option now they are selling the bundle together.

I'm running a similar setup to what you're looking at, just a bit shorter and less expensive. I couldn't see the need for the extra five feet.

Some zip ties, heat shrink and cable sleeving keeps it nice and tidy. I keep it clipped to the side of my desk with a binder clip to keep tension off the back of my computer. It also makes it nice and easy to disconnect when I'm not using it.
Other people have reported having good luck with the Vive box.
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV/
If you go that route you'll also need to find a power supply and you still need to find cables.
I didn't have any luck with the Insignia cable from BestBuy. It's seems pretty hit or miss.
Some folks are saying they bought the Vive breakout box and use it as an extension and bluetooth controller. YMMV
Check out the comments on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524080440&sr=8-1
Note, you still need male-to-male USB and HDMI cables to connect to the breakout box.
its for the vive but it works for oculus too.

I was able to get a cheap 15ft hdmi to work with a hdmi booster similar to this one>
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GHL72XS/
Or go with an HTC Link Box to extend hdmi, you may be able to go longer than 15ft, I read that people have used a PC>15ft hdmi>linkbox>hdmi cable extention>VR.

HTC's shipping rate is insane. Amazon Prime link and Microsoft Store with free shipping.
[edit] The power adapter, HDMI and USB are sold separately. They also cost more than the box itself.
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-Pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV
I had issues with certain ports, then I tried a Vive Link Box, but instead of using a 12v 1.5a dc adapter it requires, I DIY'd a SATA power extension cable to use the 12v line, wired to a 2.5mm dc power jack mounted to a pci slot backplate, then DIY'd a power cable to plug into both the Link Box and the 2.5mm dc power jack. The SATA cable apparently gets 4.5a, but I'm not sure how much of that is actually feeding the USB port. I just know it doesn't work without the power feed, and it works on ports that gave issues without it. For the few ports that did work without it, it drained the internal battery 25% in an hour...so ~4hrs worth of gaming, but with the Link Box, it drained 5% in 30 minutes...so ~10hrs worth of gaming.

so its the linkbox? what did fix it so i can add it to my portfolio of fixes.
maybe its just the cable between the link box and the pc thats faulty.
a new link box is around 30 bux https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Link-Box-pc/dp/B01LXR6DKV
When I google "link box" I get a Vive link box. Is that what you're talking about?
Will with these, but not great.

the ti runs it fantastic however.

I had success with adding a Valve Link Box:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LXR6DKV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
so that the extensions were powered. Samsung does spec HDMI 2.0 on their website:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01111314/
90Hz requirement: HDMI version 2.0, USB 3.0 HDCP 2.2 compliant
But it seems the HDMI 1.4 cables as long as they are short OR powered with the Valve Link box work well. I assume that the HDMI 1.4 with 10.2gbs is marginal.
In Canada it comes to $550 (minus the $100 gift card), and it'll arrive in time for Labour Day! Or Halloween... yay...
It IS NOT available on Amazon.ca, just checked.
https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-Touch-Bundle/dp/B01LYCUM3L
The website says "usually ships in 1 to 3 months", which I take to mean they will ship whenever they have more stock. Usually this is between 1-3 months, but you never know.
Did you try ordering from the Oculus website, since their stock level appears to be infinite, or at least hasn't reported no stock yet.
Looks like it's gone, but there is the same $399 without the $100 gift card available.
If it is under the same name, credit card, or using the same ip address I wouldn't do it. That will likely get flagged as fraud as well and probably make it even more difficult to convince support that it should not be flagged as fraud. I am pretty sure back during preorders it was a bad idea to order again if you were told not to. I haven't personally had to do it though. Hopefully support gets back to you soon.
Worst case scenario you can still order from amazon (https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01LYCUM3L?th=1), but it is backordered for 1-3 months
Yup on that link there is an asterix on the price which goes down to "*Price shown is for shipping New Zealand tax and shipping costs to be listed prior to checkout based on information you provide."

I second OP's opinion. It's better than I thought it would be.
I got it from Amazon, and it's a 2 pack. My only negative is it took a bit of negotiating to get it to fit as you have to remove the existing pad/velcro and sandwich the four tabs in between. Once it's on it's perfect.
VR Cover
The images on Amazon doesn't show the VR Cover logo but it's there and the same as OP's.
Looks like the ones from Kiwi Designs are not avail on Amazon ATM.. I like them because they give one 6mm and one 18mm. So its good for having better FOV and then one if doing demos for lots of people...
Safer gift idea would be below..
I forgot this one, Its a soft cloth (2 pack) of covers for the HTC Vive HMD, its great as it adds comfort and absorbs sweat.

All under $50
I suggest replacing the bundle,
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-3-1-Cable-pc/dp/B01MQW49B3/
They have the actual OEM cable. Otherwise, it might be a tight fit to put in another cable. You'll need very thin connectors to fit in the slot on top of the headset.
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=13590
​
Something like that would probably work, notice the very small head compared to the golden connector. But it becomes a durability issue. A general off the shelf cable isn't usually meant to be moved around and tug at all day.
Assuming you meant Vive and 3 and 1 cable when you said it you're in the wrong sub, and HTC is the support you'd need to contact for issues. I doubt they'll give you a new cable though as their support sucks, but you can buy one through Amazon.
I'll just mention stuff I've tried myself.
If money is no object, multiple monitors or at least headless ghosts are ironically useful in virtual desktop applications like Bigscreen. I run 3x2560x1600 in one large screen. Bigscreen has an update coming for multiple monitors too. Big physical screens are nice for spectators/multiplayer.
Until the wireless adapter comes out, a decently long displayport cable and longer USB cable running to the link box to cover the large play area and if you have an original Vive, the new 3-in-1 cable with a sleeve.
I've been looking at [this overhead pulley thing](https://www.amazon.com/MDW-Retractable-Management-Headset-Adhesive/dp/B01M6EB8DM/
) but I haven't actually tried it yet.
Two Vives would be good, you can run them off the same 2 base stations and partition the space with chaperone. I run a Rift and a Vive in the same room.
Get an assistant/intern/wife/child to help you set up/put things away, maintain everything, patch/update, find new content, etc...
Accessories:
You might want a good recording setup with mixed reality support as well.
e: stuff I forgot
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-3-1-Cable-Pc/dp/B01MQW49B3
Amazon
I don't know how U.S. Amazon shipping to Canada works, but this is the only other place I know of to get the cable.
If unhooking your cord from the linkbox and untwisting doesnt help you can probably get a new one from the microsoft store or https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-3-1-Cable-Pc/dp/B01MQW49B3
Open SteamVR, then open the SteamVR settings here.
Go to the Developer tab, scroll down to near the bottom, and press "Remove All SteamVR USB devices".
Reboot.
​
If it does not work after that, open the headset mirror (look to the image, click Display VR View instead)
Check the mirror, if it's displaying a tracked image (pick up and move the headset and check for movement on the mirror).
If it does, and the Vive display is black, disconnect the HDMI cable from the headset (far left cable in this set of instructions)
And then unplug the HDMI cable from the link box, keep all over cables plugged into the link box, and plug the HDMI cable that goes into the link box, into the headset.
​
If you get an image from this, you have a bad 3-in-1 cable, or at least the HDMI portion, which is quite prone to failure, and I'm actually dealing with one currently as well.
You can then either buy a new 3-in-1, or buy an HDMI cable of a similar length (this one is known to work) and zip tie it to your current cable.
Awesome.
Any other additional pieces you think I need?
I think I'm going to pick up:
Wrist straps
Silicone condom controller covers

$40 on Amazon.com
okay. i got the official case in, and my top choice ive had my hands on. the jsver case. jsver was shorter, which i knew but it seems to have more empty space. oddly. official is only *slightly* bigger , but in a good way. because its short i have to sort of sqush the straps in, which i dont like.
https://www.amazon.com/JSVER-Storage-Carrying-Protective-Controller/dp/B01N6N3J8D/
this video seems to say the back strap will fit...im not sure i need it/think its essential, but im just wondering.
https://www.vrfitnessinsider.com/oculus-quest-vr-cover-foam-pad-head-strap-improve-the-comfort/
if you say the battery goes in the back , looking at the back do you think the battery would still fit? or better yet, would it fit without me having to take it off and leaving it on?...id do this all myself but a sale on the official case is over before a quest i m having shipped to me will hit me
Here you go: VR Case
Lots of room and it doesn't bang around in there because of the straps
Here’s the case if anyone is interested in getting it: Amazon Link
I was looking at that one the other day, it looked nice!
Ended up getting this one instead because it's more compact and will more easily fit in my backpack. Should have it in a couple weeks:
https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D
Yeah, those moldings for the touch controller and cables are unfortunate. Without those there, you could probably fit the Xbox controller in there. At least there would be some flexibility. I have a similarly-sized case with no moldings. I flip the headset's strap around and can fit everything I need in there. I also have the original cardboard covering the Go's lens when in transport, just to be safe.

I went with the JSVER Gear VR Case - I preferred not having the moldings - more flexible for the future
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This one fits an Xbox One controller as well.
I got this case. And although it's a nice case it needs to be 1-2 cm deeper inside because once you start to put a few things in the mesh holder it will press against the Go. Also the fully black interior makes it very difficult to see through the mesh as to the cables, batteries, etc held in there unless you have white or colored cables. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N6N3J8D/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also, would this be just as good?
I bought these so that I can periodically wash the cover. Unfortunately it looks like they have sold out with the summer sale.

Not sure if this is your only reason, but we have a box of alcohol wipes and stridex pads for exactly this purpose. We tried using those vr covers (https://www.amazon.com/VRCover-ocv01nf-Oculus-Rift-Cover/dp/B06Y6DC1R2 ) but I found that it was harder to get those clean because they held onto sweat whereas the sponge on the oculus dries super quickly after a swipe with an alcohol pad.
​
They also sell disposable face masks for VR specifically for things like conference demo booths and VR arcades, but generally my friends are more cool with playing after a quick sani wipedown even if the headset is still a little damp than putting those things on their face.
Get every single piece of free content you can find. Consume the shit out of it. Get all the free stuff on the rift home and then move onto steam. Get demos too.
That will give you a good idea of the type of content you will and wont enjoy.
However, there are 2 games you can't go wrong with imho. "The Climb" and "Star Trek: Bridge Crew". Those games are magic and stupid fun. You wont regret them.
Dont worry about sensors for now. Thats an issue for a later day. You're a nub-cake atm and dont need to worry about that stuff just yet.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y6DC1R2
I purchased that bad boy. One day you will get hot and sweaty, your rift will get wet and soggy. You wont enjoy it. That little fucker helps with that. Also, one day, you will notice that the foam on your rift likes to collect every single fucking stray hair that grazes it. Those hairs will tickle the fuck out of your face. That cover helps with that a bit too, but your nose will still get tickled. It also feels nicer on the face.

i'm well aware you can go into a store and get the rift and the touch controllers and cameras separately
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.

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....)
Have a great time, I know you will
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.
I just bought a Vive on Amazon yesterday for $499+tax.

I have had no issues at all, this setup working very well for me.
Uh, no https://www.amazon.de/gp/offer-listing/B073X8N1YW/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used
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.
Lenovo explorer is $390 Lenovo G0A20001WW Explorer Mixed Reality Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0764GKZ15/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZuClDbQH5KYRS
Rift S is $399 Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EwClDbWMRGB9F
No idea on the chance of a Black Friday discount. Would be good if it was $800 with the DAS included.
​
I own and love my Vive and when talking to PSVR owners I am so glad I have room-scale and good tracking.
​
However, the Rift is $599AUD normally, and in the Black Friday sales it may drop to $500 and from what I've heard it's really not much worse than the Vive, and you're saving a good chunk of cash.
​
Also look at WMR headsets.

That'll ship to Aus and converts to about $280 AUD
​
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B07CSFYJKD/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new
That's about $310 AUD.

The Vive is the best on the market, but it's also the most expensive, so if price is an issue then the other options are worth a look. Especially since it seems you won't be able to take full advantage of large room scale experiences.
​
Nothing can use Valve's knuckles without the lighthouses (from Vive packages) though.
​
If you think you will be getting the knuckles or a Pimax in 6-18 months, than the Vive is worth it. If you've never played VR, just want your feet wet and don't have heaps of $$$ to spend, then from what I've heard, WMR is really quite good these days.

Seems to have gone up in price a bit, but it's been around $149 - $179 with controllers recently.
Does this, this or this work?
To my defense I did do a quick search and landed in the windows store - which I wrongly assumed would have all the Windows Mixed Reality headsets - and the cheapest in there was on sale for 250
Also even accounting for the usual exchange rate to CAD (35-50% more), the Acer one is almost double and the explorer is 1.5x more what they should be, at the same sources you cited. So that you can understand my confusion/excitement at the 'sub-200$' claim.
https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Explorer-Wireless-Controllers-G0A20002WW/dp/B0764GKZ15
Others :
Lenovo Explorer €349 (usually €400-450)
Acer €329 (usually around €380)
Delivery costs (French)
Warranty information (Lenovo) : search "Explorer" in the lower search bar. Warranty will probably work for all EU countries besides GB.
We have no information at all, it's been total dead radio silence. So just a guess based on the price appearing on Argos, the hint that they're slashing prices on the Vive Pro, and the fact that they just reported their 5th straight quarterly loss indicates they need to move soon.
$40 cheaper at that and here is the link:

Can you link the bundle on here? I can only find the HMD on Amazon. Thanks.
Edit - nvm found it, I was hoping there was an option for just the controllers and lighthouses though.

The controllers would be blue like the headset, and the lighthouse stations look different than the orignal Vive's stations, as shown in this bundle posted on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/HTC-VIVE-Virtual-Reality-Headset-PC/dp/B07B9WPR7G?th=1
2.0 can have a play area over 30 feet and can connect more than 2 lighthouses at the same time.

It comes with the sensors and controllers, but these are the updated ones, the sensors are lighthouse 2.0 where the other ones was lighthouse 1.0 and the controllers are blue to match the headset.

Ah, you're probably looking at the TPCast adapter. I'm talking about the official adapter, which is unfortunately just called the Vive Wireless Adapter. It requires one PCI-e slot, and the card is pretty small.
It's this one, isn't it? This is what they sent me by mistake.

> Think if you had this kind of set up you'd still prefer the vive?
I can leave my sensors setup, but not the USB cables.
But yes, I think I'd still prefer the vive. I suspect I'll wind up switching to the index in the not too distant future, but I'm really not looking forward to being tethered again. I will miss this thing dearly: https://www.amazon.com/Vive-Wireless-Adapter-PC/dp/B07GKHNBCT
Even if it looks like my hmd has sprouted horns.....
Here was my shopping list,
-PCIe eGPU enclosure for the WiGig card
-Thunderbolt3 (active) cable
-Vive Wireless Adapter with Vive Pro addon

I read about 2 dozen posts around the internet covering the topic of using the wireless adapter with external configurations for laptops. Many people had mixed results and I was hesitant to try it myself but I needed to figure out if it was possible regardless since there wasn't any clear answers.
I ordered the items that made the most sense to me in terms of price and quality. The eGPU enclosure I got was the most attractive and had a carry handle which I liked considering my intended use for this setup was going to be mobile. I went with an active Thunderbolt 3 cable due to the fact that it "should" in theory provide a better signal from the eGPU to the laptop. Finally, I got a spare battery based on the reviews that said the included HTC battery didn't last long and took forever to recharge. The battery I got was recommended by others in the reviews who said they had a Vive Wireless kit.
Once I got all the items I did the setup and fired up the Vive. Right off the bat it worked perfectly. With that said, some of the mixed reviews I was seeing from others trying the eGPU setup had commented on FPS stuttering/lag when moving your head and I did experience this slightly although it was intermittent at times. I also had a brief random moment where everything pixelated pretty bad as if the graphics suddenly got toggled to 1990 Nintendo mode.
In the end I was able to determine the following,
My testing of this setup was with an Alienware M15 and M17 both with i9 CPU, 2080 RTX, 32GB RAM, and x2 NVME M.2 SSD. I have an older Alienware 17 R5 I plan to test with soon to compare results.
Most importantly, what I noticed in my testing was that there's some graphical loads that will bog down the FPS and cause slight stuttering and it's not yet fully clear why. For example, while in SteamVR home room area there was a few key spots that when I looked directly at them it would cause stutter if I moved my head left and right slowly but if I opened the Steam menu which added a transparent overlay on top of what I was looking at the stutter would go away completely even though I could still see the same thing behind the overlay. I read a lot of people tweaking SteamVR settings to smooth out the FPS and I have yet to get the time to fully dive into that part but I suspect it will likely work out to resolve the issue.
The alternative setup I was wanting to test was getting the Alienware AGA enclosure and testing to see if that provided a better out of the box solution without tweaking settings. I found some people saying it didn't work at all and others saying it did. Considering the cable connection is different it still has me curious, as I believe the cable connection over the AGA is using an identical pipeline/bandwidth as Dell docking stations.

There are promo photos where you can see the game on a TV in the same room, with friends watching (click through the photos on the amazon order page for example).
I mean, those could be photoshopped for advertising, but I doubt it.
Also, they had monitors set up at the conventions where they were demoing the Quest and Rift S that showed the gameplay as it was happening.
So I'm sure its possible, it's just not clear exactly what buttons to push to make it happen.
One last thing because I don't expect you to take my word. Just check out the reviews for the Quest. It currently has a 4.8 out of 5 Stars with 636 reviews at Best Buy. It has 4.5 out of 5 Stars with 678 reviews at Amazon. The 128gb version has 4.5 Stars with 542 reviews at Amazon. Google Shopping has it at 4.8 Stars with 1,288 reviews.
Quest is up on US Amazon, says "currently unavailable." Not sure how long it's been there.

really? That would be awesome! Only thing that confuses me about amazon though is that when I go to their site to look for the rift s, it only lists "offers" and "available from these sellers". Does it not sell them directly?
edit: https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=oculus+rift+s&qid=1559260988&s=gateway&sr=8-3
It's a bit tricky to get a wheel and pedals setup to cooperate well with this game. One of the biggest issues I have with it is that it's only got 180° of wheel rotation. If you're interested in getting setup with a wheel and pedals with VR, you might check out Assetto Corsa, Project CARS 2, Dirt Rally or iRacing. They all have their own learning curve and audience, but my personal choice of setup is the following:
Logitech G920 Racing Wheel with Shifter - $270
This is honestly a bargain in its own right. It was closer to $500 when I bought mine and it was seen as a reasonable price even then.
OpenWheeler Racing Cockpit - $380
I've used this cockpit for over a year now and it's held up well. You can mount a wheel to a desk, but this brings it to a whole new level.
Oculus Rift S - $400
This one is a lot harder to recommend. VR is still in its early stages and I personally own a Rift CV1 (the first consumer version) and love it. My honest recommendation is to get a CV1 used if you're new to it. They go for cheap and I've never had any real complaints, but unless you're ready to pour $1000 into a Valve Index, the Rift S is one of the few other headsets being sold new that actually makes sense.
If you want to ask a whole community and not take my word for it on this stuff, I'd highly recommend /r/simracing. Don't let others' budgets throw you off over there. If you're looking for something entry level, but still a good experience, the setup I mentioned here has served me well in the past couple years.
This one?
Oculus Rift S PC-Powered VR Gaming Headset https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_nUr3Db4NDF1GF
It's a very good price. Is that good? Can I do everything that I mentioned? Tonight I will do some research of unreal with it. Thanks!

That's for headset as well as the touch controllers, you don't need sensors with the Oculus S.
Amazon is selling it for the same price, for those who are interested: https://www.amazon.ca/Oculus-Rift-PC-Powered-Gaming-Headset/dp/B07PTMKYS7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=occulus+rift&qid=1575036130&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFETjU5WkZFWDdNUEwmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2NjA4MTEzQ05KODgyNTIxWlcyJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1MTkxNzYxS0g5NFlNOUg2MjJZJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
I'm not sure if you're serious or not, but two Vive wands and the single Light House you need so you can use them as hands in game are $129.99x2+ $134.99 which comes to $394.97. (Yes, it's absurd, which is why people rarely by them on their own)
Or you could buy a Certified pre-owned Vive, with all of that and an extra Light house, and an HMD for $399 and just play it in VR
Or you could buy a Rift S New for $399 and just play it in VR
Or you could just by a Samsun Odyssey+ for $250 and just play it in VR.
If your video card isn't up to snuff, buy a GTX1060 for $190 and sell your old card for what ever you can get.
Looking at your profile it seems like you live in the UK. Even if you're not able to take advantage of cheaper US hardware deals, you can still get a Rift S for under £400. It's still signifcantly cheaper than the €1000 that the above comment was making out to be necessary to use VR.
It still appears to be available...
Its still the same price on amazon if your still looking for a deal on one.

Make sure to read the README for Mod Assistant! That might help you get things set up.
Also, I highly recommend getting Wii Remote style straps for your touch controllers off Amazon, and also buying small springs from Ace Hardware and putting them in the negative side of your controllers. It will increase your tracking consistency tremendously.
Here's a video. You don't need to buy Wii Remote straps and tie them like this anymore as there are ones specifically made for touch controllers. I'll link the Amazon link too.

You can order the mamut grips from mamutvr.com. The company operates out of Sweden though, so that might be something to consider in terms of shipping costs/import fees.
The AMVR ones are only just becoming available so getting them right now might be tricky, they should become available through amazon one of these days though. Here's a link. They seem to be a little better than the mamut ones from what I'm hearing and also have some extras included.
I got the VR cover facial interface and foam replacement. I strongly recommend buying something like this when the standard face cover hurts your face. Mine did after 15-30min but with the VR Cover, I can play for hours. https://vrcover.com/product/oculus-quest-foam-and-interface-basic-set/

Thank you for the video and demonstrating them. Though the AMVR and Mamut options look better in almost every way. They also hold on the battery hatch. AMVR version is around $26 and Mamut is $30 to compare to these simple straps at $17. These just look like they take to much fussing with adjustment if you swap between players on the regular.
These add a nice amount of grip and weight.
These look like they could be the better of the two available Beat Saber handles.

I ordered this pack of cotton "VR Covers" for my Rift: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y6DC1R2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
At first I thought the fitment was too loose, but it has not shifted or fallen off since I put it on. Does not impact view in any way that I can tell. Mainly purchased for use when I have multiple friends over who all want to try VR. They're comfortable enough that I'll just leave it on.
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.
I was referring to this: https://www.amazon.com/Oculus-Touch-Virtual-Reality-System-pc/dp/B073X8N1YW/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1527443041&sr=1-3&keywords=oculus+rift
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.
The links are just for the amazon/ BB listings. The only reason I started there is just because of the craigslist selling mentality, you know people are going to offer lower, and I know I'll take it. I don't think I'll go for under $200 though. I got the batteries and charger for ~$40, and the dongle for ~$15.

not even close, actually - I'm not sure where you're getting your numbers. I have never ever seen it for less then 350 from a canadian retailer. It's no surprise we don't have a microsoft store here in Windsor, because people would bitch about prices constantly. The sony store here was closed earlier than any other I imagine for the same reason.
I'm a firm, firm advocate if a price has ever been x - ANYWHERE - , it will always be x and you should never, ever pay more no matter where you're from unless you live in an incredibly remote place and the logistical costs can be explained.

Compare that to ordinary everyday amazon US prime offers:

And tons of those vendors ship to Canada. It's painful to me to have to not patronize canadian retailers because suppliers refuse to give vendors reasonable prices up here. I usually go without unless I can pick it up from another canadian who benefits directly from my hard earned dollars.

And still limited to 1 per customer.
Yeah, so did mine. You can get the new one here though. Really makes a huge difference.
Amazon disagrees with you
