Virtual reality gaming has yet to explode even after the launch of the Oculus Rift for PC. After spending a few months with the headset, Jake Baldino tells you if it's worth it.

Remember when your parents told you not to sit close to the TV ... well now prepare to strap a tv to your face because VR is here.

This is how a product should be reviewed. I love how gameranx just gives you their honest opinion and backs it up.

[Sizifus]

Videos like these is why I consider gameranx to be one of the best gaming and tech review channels on YT.

2 years later BEST VR set on the market in my opinion!!

[tileslasher]

If you have the money is it worth it? Hell yeah it's worth it. Dude this is for everyone, I'm 49 and it's the best thing I've ever bought. It's like I've got a movie theater in my house, there is nothing better in this world of tech. My beliefs 100, 000, 000 %

Sometimes I fill up my tub with just an inch of water, then tie my feet together and pretend I'm a beached whale

A 'Before You Buy'...with my FACE?!
Sorry.

I got one of those little ad's on the side of the video and it was for the Vive XD.

how to make a good Virtual Reality
1.ask for the story of a WW2 veteran
2.make a VR out of the story
3.show it to the WW2 veteran
4.watch him cry seeing his comrades die again
5.profit
note:make it very detailed.

July 14, 2017: It's interesting how much a year can out-date a video review covering a tech product.

[omarwalid]

the best thing about this series is the honesty of the review not just advertising it like others, keep up the good work :)

[chxncelor]

I respect that you actually lived with it for a while and didn't spit out a review like everyone else.

[sakazu]

ahhh 4 words that should NEVER be used in the same sentence
"nicely designed, apple product"

[SomeWiseGuy]

You should do an updated review now that the controllers are out and everything comes in 399 package

[Salahodeen]

I swear I was gonna like the video and go, but the intro was a smart move that got me interested because I'm not a fan of VR "Yet", that is why I'm happy that some one is testing them and making an honest opinion about them for us

[NikoKun]

I bought one, and it's totally worth it! I've started making my own games for VR because of it. Plus I can't wait for the Touch controllers to come out, in a few months! ;)

[Karltroid]

I've tried Roomscale VR with the vive AND the oculus with the motion controllers on both (PAX conventions). I personally like oculus's controllers and headset much more. ;) I also got my own oculus after that so I'm glad I picked that over the vive.

Last time I was this early, I won a giveaway, which was never
