I'll wait a year and see if vision damage and lawsuits aren't the biggest things in the future of VR.

Hope some great games come out for VR that is what it needs. Everyone knows games and good apps sell systems and hardware.

A review without a number score? Doesn't seem like much of a review without one. Don't get me wrong...I appreciate the info...but don't be afraid to quantify it with a number GS.

@joseph_mach: Not sure what a numbered score would do here other than incite a riot. They didn't really go into detail on the pros and cons of the games or the launch line up. Hell, they shouldn't have even called this a review. It's more of an initial impression if anything

@joseph_mach: Based on what was said in the video, I'm gonna guess it's an 8/10.

I would rather spend that money and go on a vacation, or heck, I would rather spend it on a 4K TV that I would use a lot more and have a lot more confidence in. But I do eventually want to get a VR headset when its a lot cheaper, or go bigger and farther and wait for the Hololens to come out and drop in price b/c we all know that will be a 100 times better.
