I discovered that the Rift doesn't have displayport and my hdmi is feeding my home theater. Here's hoping the displayport adapter I have just ordered is up to the task.
There are both Vive and Oculus demo sites nearby. I may duck out of work and take a look at the Vive tomorrow if possible (no appointments allowed) and there are a bunch of Oculus times available.
I am leaning towards Vive just because it seems like a better deal with the controllers and larger space but it does weigh more which Brent and others noted could get fatiguing.
I'm in for Project Cars tonight. 930 EST work? I want to run over Brent in VR.
I'm thinking I wait until people are selling their gen 1 Vives when the gen 2 comes out... One big plus of that is that I could sit my rig in a corner and not have to screw up the media room all the time. I don't know.
Edit: The truth is that I give myself a month or two before I end up buying something....
It has a motor and is lots of fun. I broke it about 10 years ago and fixed it on Saturday
$30 for new batteries and it's ripping around almost like new.
Ordered some new tires and extra wheels too. A lot cheaper at 10th scale
