There's a new way to play with the Oculus Rift VR Headset.
Step into Rift.
Rift is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. Whether you’re stepping into your favourite game, watching an immersive virtual reality movie, jumping to a destination on the other side of the world, or just spending time with friends in VR, you’ll feel like you’re really there.
Seeing is believing - Oculus Rift uses state of the art displays and optics designed specifically for VR. Its high refresh rate and low-persistence display work together with its custom optics system to provide incredible visual fidelity and an immersive, wide field of view.
The magic of presence - Rift’s advanced display technology combined with its precise, low-latency constellation tracking system enables the sensation of presence – the feeling as though you’re actually there. The magic of presence changes everything. You’ve never experienced immersion like this.

This can't be used in conjunction with other offers (entering any other promo code apart from NKMKE in checkout will exclude you from this promotion).Offer live 13th - 20th December 2018.

For anyone who has purchased this. Here's some suggestions game wise. In order of my preference
Free Must Haves:
Robo Recall
Echo VR
Dead and Buried
Lucks Tale
Medium (clay sculpting, amazing what you can do either if not creative)
Quill (drawing in 3D, harder but amazing)
Google Earth
Toybox
Bigscreen Beta (Oculus "OS" now allows pinning virutal Windows whilst in game, but this is still great app)
Brass Tactics Arena (free few maps to see if you like the full game, which I do despite not being my normal genre)
Mountain Goat Mountain
VR Sports Challenge (well, worth having as free, kids love it)
Rec Room (hmm, either wroth price of VR alone, or you won't be able to stand all the kids that are in there)
Lots of experiences, like 'Dear Angelica' and 'Henry'
Bullet Train (Effectively template demo Robo Recall was made from, still worth having though)
Must Haves:
Beat Saber
Echo Combat (£10 dlc in Echo VR)
Lone Echo
Superhot
Eleven (table tennis, feels so real and I stuck a table tennis, but this made me better!)
Elite Dangerous (if you have the time and place for Hotas)
there are others, will update when have time
Worth a watch in Winter Sales:
Brass Tactics
Blaze Rush
Space Pirate Trainer
Ultra Wings
From Other Suns
The Climb
Arktika.1
Edge Of Nowhere
Wilson's Hearth
For those with Children, please note that there hasn't been enough study to determine VR usage on developing eyes which is why everyone has put a blacket recommendation of 13 year old and up's. Personally I am fine allowing my younger kids 15 minute sessions as there much official content that's clearly aimed at them and the reactions are priceless.
Below are the ones my kids play the most:
Favourites at 4yo (in order of most played at age):
Toy Box
Robo Recall
Eagle Flight
Henry / Invasion / Lost / Oculus Dreamdeck
BlazeRush (4yo loved this playing simple levels but 6yo really struggled so depends on child)
The Climb (sometimes had to pick him up to reach first grab)
Medium/Quill
VR Sport Challenge
Luky's Tale
Bullet Train
At 5yo
Beatsaber
Ultrawings
Powers United VR (can play offline only but have to be quick to avoid lobby when starting)
Coaster
Rush
Late for Work
Likes but a bit above him:
Brass Tactics
Shoot Fruity
the offer is mentioned on the page so very might have a "very" hard time if they tried to wriggle out of it.

Robo Recall is what sold VR to me, and it comes bundled free, so....
- for those who wear glasses; if you wear them inside the rift, you *will* scratch the rift's lenses. 3rd party prescription lenses inserts are available, but expensive.
- Oculus support is bad. I had an issue with one of my touch controllers, thoroughly explained, demonstrated with a video, lots of other people with the same issue, no resolution given just a suggestion that it could be 'sweaty hand'.
- official repair & parts services are nonexistent, if you damage the headset(e.g. scratch the lenses) you're looking at total loss. Besides the massive inconvenience & cost of such a lack of foresight, it's also a reckless disregard for the environmental impact of such waste. (edited)
Lone Echo is fantastic, as is Robo Recall (free)
Glasses - I permanently wear glasses, no problems. Clearly down to the user and glasses.
CS - Generally people agree Oculus has the better customer service experience, lots of very positive stories on forums. Of course, there are some people who've had issues, as have all companies. Personally had no troubles with a replacement sensor, which evidently ended up being my own issue, not hardware.
Parts - Depends on the part. Lots of people have managed to gets parts and repairs. Lenses however are not removable like they were in DK2, so whole headset would need to go in. Not sure what they'd charge for that, but certainly try to look after the lenses. (edited)
Guess a mod better expire this then
So i think Very will decline to offer you the £50 when it comes to the end of Jan, just an opinion, but worth considering given you'll be outside of the returns window by that point
It was there until yesterday but was out of stock. Mentioned on product page £50 back with BNPL and also code works at checkout.
Not really.
Edit - I see this is PC specific, which one can I use with my mb (edited)
I take it back - it's showing in the offer now - sure it wasn't earlier but happy days if your looking for it seems like a genuine decent price.
1. I use glasses in my rift and have never scratched my lenses. If you are not careful I can see how this could happen.
2. Oculus support hasn't been great in the past but these days it tends be be really good actually. Often accommodating folks whose warranty period is up!
3. Spares other than new cable, absolutely true. A lot of owners are very technically minded and could do their own repairs if parts were available.
But then again by most accounts oculus support has upped their game and CAN be very accommodating these days. (edited)
Many thanks.
Fyi to those other tortured souls who need to use glasses... Get one of the many 3D printing services on eBay to print you the lens adapter available on thingiverse (Google it) - I got mine for £10. Then buy the glasses from zennioptical usa with proper prescription for you (I paid $20usd posted and got them in 2 weeks). Pop the lenses from the glasses into the lens adapter, put that into the oculus, and enjoy. Total cost: around £25
Very do these 'loss leader' promotions quite often to entice you into getting credit with them which is where they invariably make their money back on those who aren't good at budgeting and paying for the items within the 12 months and then incurring interest. But if you are in control this makes a great deal! I've personally saved lots through Verys deals.
Is this correct?
Read the last paragraph of the t&c
nah you don't, it is just plug in 3 USB devices and one HDMI, then follow the on screen instructions and you be set up in 30 mins tops and that includes a software download that take 10 mins. Just be sure to run the oculus PC checker before buying and it checks everything for you (edited)
