    Idea: When one of you is talking about something make him bigger and slide the other one away. It is looking like you 2 are doing a presentation in front of a class, (I am not trying to be negative just a tip) Great video btw! One of the first ones when i looked for Second hand VR Headsets

    A complete htc vive set with headset, base stations, wands and cables etc for $150 bucks?!!?? That's a insane deal! Yes you buy that! Those basestations I believe can be used later to upgrade to valve index controllers and eventually the valve index headset. Any complete pc vr set for >$200 is a deal if you got the pc to drive it, otherwise oculus quest 2.

    I’m gonna buy one. Idm the resolution but I use full body tracking and calibrating it with my quest 2 is annoying. Plus My quest 2 tracking is freaking out and it stops tracking then I have to calibrate again. I would go with index I can afford one but my gaming laptop with a 10th gen i7 and 1660ti only has hdmi

    My only argument is FBT . The quest requires alot of tinkering to not even technically being able to share the same play space and constantly be reset. This is far easier to achieve with vive if you find a bundle with index controllers and already own body trackers.

    @1:30 So these guys told their friend not to buy something for roughly half the price of what others are selling the same item for…. Maybe, it’s just me but anytime you come across something priced much lower than anywhere else, do your due diligence to assure everything is at it seems (to not get screwed by overlooking something) and if your satisfied then buy it. With that much difference in the price, you should be able to sell it and profit. Even if you can’t find a buyer, you can let guests use it, you’ll have a backup if the other one stops working and if you’re really crafty, you might be able to use the parts inside to create something uniquely awesome! Me personally, I would have bought it and sold in within a few days, it’s easy money, whether it’s $10 or $100 doesn’t matter when obtaining it is damn near free.

    I’m gonna be completely real. I’m going to purposefully downgrade from my quest 2. SPECIFICALLY for the direct connection to a display port, that feels busted (in other words: really f-ing good) for pcvr, and I also want a slice of something I never got, IE when the htc vive came out for the first time. I’m a big fan of older technology that still holds up even in today’s day and age.

    let me ask you this... i have an original vive right now, had a psvr and a wmr hp too but sold them. havent played vr in a couple years but im getting back into it now. my pc is lower end. i can max out skyrim no mods but i havent even bothered buying half life because im pretty sure i cant run it. would it be worth it for me to upgrade to a different headset at this point? im totally out of the loop on current headsets. mainly playing older games like skyrim, pavlov, stand out that kind of old stuff.
