[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 247034, member: 134"] I think the Beta vs VHS argument is more about the fact that certain VR tech right now is getting software that other VR tech isn't. The Playstation VR is going to have lots of exclusives, just as VR for PC will have games the Playstation won't. So while the analogy might not be correct, I think the sentiment is, and that is you don't want to buy the wrong VR setup today only to find later on a different headset became the standard and had the most content. I tried Oculus a few years back when my friend had an early build. I wear glasses, and didn't like how it fit over them. Be nice if they had a diopter so you could adjust the focus to your naked eye even without wearing glasses. I also didn't like the resolution, it had that screen door effect. I'm sure that's been improved, but still. The rig wore my neck out after a while, and I did experience some moments of nausea. So count me as someone who has tried it and disliked it. Yes, I could see the potential, but I don't think it's for me other than as a novelty. We just mentioned the ball rolling sound in our podcast. Our problem with it is there is no variation to it regardless of ball speed or direction. What I wish, and I've had this conversation with Norman before, is that while the ROM sounds are in mono, the mechanical sounds be in stereo. It was explained to me why this isn't a feature, but I still think it'd be cool. [/QUOTE]
