The "Would you buy a VR headset now?" Poll!

I've dreamed of VR for fricken EVER. I want it so much.

All the experiences that will be available just boggles the mind. I mean, stuff like Playstation Home might ACTUALLY be cool. Graphics and tech has come a long way since PS home, and VR is kinda perfect for it. I wouldn't mind just playing minigames with random dudes in VR. Log into the Atari room and play Pac Man on a virtual cocktail table or whatnot.

Or, you know, formation flying in DCS with a level of imersion that just mmmmMMMM!!!!! hnnng!! Or just chilling on the ISS watching youtube vids and chatting with my pals Virtual Neil and Virtual Buzz about the moon landing.

The fact that the toybox seems to have been a great success, just continued development of that thing would be plenty for me to buy in right now. Just a steady stream of doohickeys and whatnot to noodle around with, bring it. I'll join an impromptu space ping pong tournament any day. The free form multiplayer aspect of that thing sounds great.

It's happening you guys! JACK IN!

It's not so much theoretical for me since I bought both the Oculus DK1 and DK2 and plan to get the consumer version when it comes out, although I agree with a lot of people that bespoke software is what is needed to sell these things. I've had a lot of fun messing around with demos, but tech demos are not enough to sell VR to your average consumer or even enthusiasts. We still haven't seen a big, meaty experience that can only be achieved in VR. The closest I've seen is Elite Dangerous, which is greatly enhanced by VR, but It's far from essential, although I don't like playing without it.

The controllers Oculus were showing off at E3 along with the improvements in the Rift looked really impressive, I'm still leaning towards the Vive at the moment, hopefully they copy some of the finger triggers for the Valve controllers.

It's interesting technology. If using it for games on PC eventually becomes affordable and useful besides gimmicky spectacle I'm certainly not opposed to buying it. Right now I don't see good evidence for that being the case in the near future.

The general hype concerning how trippy and profound VR is supposed to be amuses me and serves as rock-solid entertainment but I'm not hearing anything that actually convinces me it's any different than all the hot air before it. Some of the early fans are trustworthy enough to compel me to give it a shot should the opportunity arise though.

VR really isn't a thing I've desperately awaited coming to fruition. It might still turn out be something I didn't know I wanted before I tried it. But I'll need a better sale than the usual blathering I just perceive as commonplace marketing for even very mediocre products by now.

I'm sure I'll have one eventually but I'll probably get in on the second or third wave. Not at launch.

I'm totally excited by the technology and the potential/future that it holds. Its exciting to see that its starting to come together in something that is real and works.

Do I want to buy one now? No. If I am going to use it for gaming, I want to see the execution from a full platform perspective. I'd like to see what a full game feels like and looks like. I want to test it out with my own hands and eyes first.

Then again, when it comes to gaming consoles so to speak, I've never been a first day adopter. Its coming and I'm excited, but I I'll wait for the base to be more solidified first.

I just want to get my hands on something and try it myself. I get motion sick fairly easily, so that's my biggest concern.

I'm sure VR is here to stay and I can think of it having amazing uses outside of gaming, but it's currently too expensive as a peripheral for me to purchase. Maybe one day.

I'm definitely on the side of "NOW PLEASE OH GOD GIMME NOW", but I can't help but feel that the people who are saying "VR doesn't appeal to me" would have been the stalwarts crowding around their radios grumbling about not needing "them stupid picture boxes that all the kids have".

I'm sold once sports broadcasting gets in on the VR train.

If I had a new PC and a PS4 already, then totally! Even if there weren't a ton of games that supported it in the future, I'd get more than enough use out of it with stuff like Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen, or SUPERHOT (if that thing even supports it).

I didn't give a fuuuuuuuuuck about HoloLens when it was announced, but I gotta say, I'm pretty impressed by it after this E3. I wouldn't get it over a VR headset just yet, but it's definitely got my attention.
