Oculus Rift Deals & Offers

Fair enough! I love mine - yeah it has limitations, but for £300 it's not half bad :-)

I was a little concerned due to their policy saying unused items can be refunded no questioned asked in 30 days. But I did hint to their member of staff that I think it could be faulty. Managed to blag a full refund just now. Fair play to the Argos team. I can see why some enjoy VR. But until the resolution and FOV gets a big boost and the elimination of god rays/screendoor/focusing issues are sorted. Then I won’t be back in VR for a while. 👌

I only notice God rays when games are loading, like a white title on a black background. Supersampling can help with resolution if your pc can handle it. VR games can be pretty expensive but I'd just add games you're interested in to your wishlist on steam. Vr games on steam and oculus store can be heavily disconnected over the holiday season. Batman Arkam VR is £4 on cdkeys atm which is worth a shot. Also flight simulators and racing games tend to negate the fov issue for immersion as your vision would be restricted by a helmet anyway.

Be interested to see how you get on - Argos can be a pain for taking stuff back, usually you will have to have a technical call with the manufacturer first.

I’d like to try it. Just can’t justify buying these games when I just cannot get over the poor resolution, poor FOV, the screen door effect and those god rays! It just does nothing for me other than leave me dissatisfied. Just normal 4K gaming for me is much more visually pleasing. So I think I will return my unit. Like the PSVR I had, I feel like we are a couple of generations away from me enjoying VR sadly 😩

Bundle with marvel powers United is back in stock on Amazon - much better deal

My advice would be to get yourself on the Oculus subredddit and see if a friendly American will give you a referral code (via email) for another 10% off buying direct from Oculus. I got mine today for £314

I went lenovo, £200 quid saving and a better resolution, Will upgrade to pimax soon next year. This was a poor deal from oculus.

Shame that Oculus haven’t come up with a better offer. This late in the product’s life cycle I feel we should been seeing sub £300 deals.

It wasn't £600 a year ago that's a fib, it was £349 on Black Friday and $349 in the states. The price is the same as last year so it's a poor deal: https://www.alphr.com/deals/1007793/black-friday-2017-get-an-oculus-rift-and-touch-controllers-for-349 Also I've tried both, and I think you are vastly exaggerating the difference, tracking is marginally better but really not much in it. I wanted Oculus for the store and better SteamVR compatibility.

It so immersive and far better than triple monitors. Multiplayer is awesome with friends, again the gameplay is enhanced as you can literally be next to your friends covering their backs from zombies / enemies etc. It takes any game up several notches for playability.

If it's in stock I'd imagine so. I paid to be collected tomorrow before 5pm

Is this in-store to?

Same price on Amazon now: http://amzn.eu/d/3P5p2KR

I'll second this

I've voted hot - but be warned - so far I've failed to download any apps using Viveport. I'll be re-installing/debugging at at the weekend. While it looks better laid out than Steam it doesn't seem as good for getting at your apps! Finally got Viveport to work. Tried disabling Windows Firewall - didn't help. Still only getting 0.2 MB/s! Turned off antivirus - Avast - until my next reboot. Managed to download several games.

Thanks...holding out for a deal fingers xd

Yes, if you don't get distracted by the Fresnel lens, it then personally I think it wins over the Oculus everywhere. Tracking wires, I found the Rift got my face way too hot and being a glasses wearer it was awkward to get on and off.

a very warm welcome newbie.cracking first post,have some heat :)

On viveport

or 2 diagonally according to the box i ticked when buying.

Requires 3 sensors apparently.

Great deal! Thanks (y)

Found last hope a bit too frantic. I did enjoy serious sam 3 vr tho, especially when the bombers ran towards you arrggghhhhhhh

It's a lot of well made content for not a lot of money. Last Hope and Talos Principle are well worth £15 each so everything else is basically free content. Huge respect to Croteam for putting the work in to porting those to VR.

Serious Sam VR is incredible

I don't even own a VR headset for PC yet, but I'm very tempted by this.

If you have VR it's well worth getting on the mailing list by subbing. Over the years I have had three different HTC Vives and probably paid for 2 months of subscriptions with them. Most VR games are short so you can really see if a game is worth kepping using the 5 game rental. They have given me :- 1) 8 months of free subscriptions though emailed codes 2) £8($10) for buying a few games (hopefully similar for being a subscriber on 20th November) 3) Free games Nevrosa, Everest, Shooty Fruity, Overview, Guns'n'Stories, Final Soccer VR, Arcade Saga, Front Defense, Super Puzzle Galaxy. (Plus that £8 bought me Together VR and a bit of Accounting+) The Vive Video player is the best 360 player imo, I have redeemed a few games with them and they also just show up in steam or Viveport shows all your steam vr games.

Yes I do about steam. Have you noticed, I had written '' so far'' and. "if I am not wrong" precisely. So, Would you kindly consider and explain what you know about this deal then, "Please". :)

'Just like Steam'? Do you even know how Steam works?!

*I tells ya

If you have never used Viveport then it's free as you can take out a 14 day free trial and then keep the free game at the end. If you pay £8.99 (not £9.99) for the month, it's like renting 5 games for the month (Games like Call to Starseed 1 and 2 which will be very short). You will then get $10 on Nov 20th for being subscribed. So it can be a free game if you take the free trial... FREE I tell you FREE!! ;)

Hi does anyone have a spare superhot vr code they don't need my son wants this for xma thank you Lisa

It's not Drunken Bar Fight, it's Drunken Bar Fight On Halloween - a one level spinoff game.

Worth it for Drunkn Bar Fight

Thought I'd saw it for £13 somewhere. Might of been on a deal

It seems to be £18.99 on Steam and Indiegala. The discount should make it around £8-9 from my quick head math (which will be flawed..)

Keep wanting this to go on sale for psvr...can't believe you shelled out and never played it.

Still awfully broken the last time I tried to buy it on Steam, cost £2.97 and I managed to get a refund. Constant crashes, that have work-arounds, but I wasn't willing to take the risk on it. (Deus Ex)

Mankind Divided was a bad game, it ends abruptly after 10 hours and requires a sequel. Stealth was way to easy. Each of the 3 DLC last 4 hours and they restart your characters progress with no choices carry over to the main game. This is suppose to be an immersive RPG! Eidos blew so much time and money on the pay2win breach mode that is now a free standlone and they expected the players to pay for that. It's a shame, the game could've been great but it isn't and 5 years wasted and requires another 5 years to finish!. Cypberpunk2077 shows us what it could've been like.

excellent game!

excellent price!

Pretty pointless posting it if it's (presumably) the only one there and you bought it...

Had a go on one today for the first time. Amazing.

Meh

Got me excited for a second. Been looking for one at a lower price for a while.

Damn no Flee games.

How strange that Aircar is my all time favourite vr experience ever, nothing comes close for me!

Its good, has more pixels so better screen, and cheaper if you go on eBay you can get one like the Dell visor very cheap! The tracking is slightly worse on the controllers but I believe a better Bluetooth adapter can help. I ended up getting a Vive Pro too in the end so that's my main one now, but 5x the price, not 5x the value though so yeah I'd say a cheap WMR set would be good for your son to get into VR. As I said it does use more pixels than a rift or original Vive so make sure your son's got a graphics card in his PC that can handle it.

HOw do you find the windows reality set? I am unsure what one to buy my son so would welcome your feedback thanks Lisa

I get terrible headaches after it and feel dizzy

Wow interesting as I had zero motion sickness with it. It is so odd that people react differently to certain games. I could not stomach this game where you throw disc echo arena or something. I thought that I am going to puke but DOOM VR and skyrik zero issues. I spin, jump, run, fall and I am ok.
