Nah. I don't know what's wrong. I'm gonna take a nap and then try this again. This setup is a bytch :damn:
I would try the beta, since it gets the latest updates. also maybe try different USB ports. they can be picky sometimes. I have an external HDD that just won't work with my front USB ports

Yeah, I might try that. Thanks. I heard setting this up was a bytch. I just didn't know it'd be this bad.

I'm from the first wave of orders, so there's nothing online about this shyt. It's just gonna have to be trial and error tonight I guess. :mjcry:

This is so frustrating. I get the headset to pair, but then the controllers don't. I then reset the whole thing, and the controllers pair, but not the headset. :comeon:

I better not have a defective unit :ufdup:

Be an early adopter, brehs :sadcam:

Finally got it working :whew:

First thought: The screen door effect is real. I expected better resolution.

Second thought: The controllers are nice :wow:

I'll play more games tomorrow and update you all on their quality. The few I played were graphically unimpressive and gimmicky. The coolest "game" I played was Google Paint Brush. Painting in 3D is :ohlawd:

I gotta say, I'm disappointed. The Vive is finicky as hell, one of my controllers is fukked up (gotta call them tomorrow and get a replacement....ugh), the resolution is shyt, the games aren't there yet, and moving without actually walking is pretty disorienting.

It looks like the Rift has the games, so I hope it lives up to it's promises. :sadcam:

The Vive is cool and all, but I'm not impressed by the games so far. There's no killer app. If you're on the fence about buying the Vive, I say wait. There is nothing worth playing right now (and I have 45 VR games).

@Morethan1 You're not missing out yet breh. shyt is cool to have, but it's a novelty item right now. Hopefully a killer app will come out soon, but right now, it ain't there yet. The Rift has the games, and once it comes, I'll do a full comparison. But I gotta say, I'm not very impressed by the Vive right now. It's a $900 novelty toy at the moment. I expect it to get better, but right now, it's not worth it.

I had such high hopes for VR too :mjcry:
