I saw some Canadian off-grid cabin guy playing with one. He had a video of him standing there playing it, while you saw what he was seeing at the same time. Pretty impressive.

Mine arrived yesterday. They sent the “Oculus Go!’ Instead of Quest.

Pissed.....

Already returned. Probably order it from Wally World

That is strange. That ad says free shipping by May 22 (6 days from now). And the price dropped to $534. Good luck and have fun when you get it.

Completely out of stock now.

I noticed as the stock got down under 5 the shipping rates changed ever higher

My son has this. He said the boxing game is literally so real. He uses it as part of his work out program. Been thinking about it. I am worried about running into a wall or a book shelf or something.

The system has you draw a boundary around you. If you get too close the game stops. It works very well.

Perfect. I am not the most coordinated guy. I can trip over my shoelace. I am going to shop around. My son's girl friend work's in IT for Hasbro. She might have some connection to get me a good deal?
