Vive looks 100% bad ass to me. I am like counting days until it gets here. It is like a holodeck in your room.

Anyone who thinks that VR is just a passing fad (Howard I'm looking at you) needs to watch this video.

You can look all you want, I'm still right. VR isn't a passing fad, it's "the next great thing" that's been just around the horizon for the last few decades. The tech isn't there, the cost isn't reasonable, it's doa.

If you think VR pinball is enough to get anyone aside from nuts like us or pinheads (which probably prefer the real deal come to think of it) to spend 600 bucks on a glorified monitor that will become obsolete in a year or so you are kidding yourself.

You've got to understand.. niche uses don't count because they aren't going to get the millions upon millions of units that need to be sold in order for developers to waste time supporting an optional accessory. Optional accessories have NEVER been successful in THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF VIDEO GAMES. You just have to accept that fact. Here's the thing..... in terms of games support optional accessories typically get no more than 20 or 30 dedicated games in their lifecycle. If you are picking up a 30 dollar lightgun or a 20 dollar gamepad that isn't a big deal because if you are into those games it's not unreasonable to pay a little more for a proper controller. On the other hand buying a 600 dollar headset that needs a $1,500 pc to run the games at their minimum specs isn't.

For the record though the vr pin thing is awesome and I was just about to post the video. ;)
