I have that my Lenovo Y510P runs fairly well with it, but my gaming rig (running a midrange nVidia video card) runs the apps a lot better, especially anything with the new Unreal engine. It's ... different, but I don't think I hate it. I definitely like the "Virtual Desktop" app, and REALLLLLY LOVE the MaxVR program for running movies - it's like being in the theatre, without all of the annoying people.

:D

Star Wars Trilogy is probably my favorite arcade game to play, this one looks just as good.

I have an Oculus DK2 and really don't like it. To be fair it's probably because most of the software for it right now blows but maybe in a couple of generations it will be good.

it doesn't help they completely changed the way the system operates. The DK1 went through a similar growth curve of ---smurfy--- apps and terrible response. But near the end of it's cycle, most of the bugs had been worked out and the devs were pumping out apps like no tomorrow.

I, (luckily) sold my DK1 to a sucker a few days before the announcement of the commencement of the DK2  shipping and got over 2x the price I paid for it. I saw in the dev forum that the evolution of the DK2 had taken it in another direction for the tracking and decided to sell and hold out on purchasing the DK2 for exactly this issue. The CV is not far off and i'd rather wait till then. The DK2 was more of an experiment in tracking change than an actual working unit. The DK2 will never reach a "completed" dev status and devs begin pumping out apps like the DK1 did it will be orphaned...the CV is right around the corner now there is no need to push the SDK support for the DK2 to completed when they are changing it again.

Nope..err yes, but not for oculus. I know obvious question/answer is obvious "you weren't supposed to get it if you weren't a developer". I don't care, I have wanted VR for two decades but it ended up being a letdown. No loss though.

I get it.

I had to exercise some restraint.  The cost helped with that.
