    Thanks OP! Worth a try.

  • ReverseBias on 27/03/2019 - 14:22

    I've got one, but I'm tempted just to get a spare pair of controllers, as they are basically unobtainable…

  • Merlict on 27/03/2019 - 14:23

    This is an absolute steal, these have 95% of the functionality of the far more expensive headsets with a bit of setup.

    Will be very annoyed if my order is cancelled haha

  • BlinkyBill on 27/03/2019 - 14:23

    Thanks purchased a second one as a spare.

    These any good?

    buy now and think later??

    • kcslb92 on 27/03/2019 - 14:25

      Yes

      • flashi007 on 27/03/2019 - 14:35

        Okay - I got one. Lets see how this thing hums….

    • BlinkyBill on 27/03/2019 - 14:27

      Mine is used for VR racing games and I thought it was good value at $220 delivered from Amazon with the controllers (not needed), For $99, it's worth it just get a spare headset.

      • impoze on 27/03/2019 - 14:28

        which racing games are compatible?

        • Diji1 on 27/03/2019 - 15:45

          Dirt Rally (coming to 2.0 later), Project Cars/2 and many of the serious sim games.

          I wasn't a big fan of Windows Mixed Reality though.

          The Oculus Touch is a lot better but I still don't use it.

            @Diji1: Also iRacing and Assetto Corsa.

      • pinkybrain on 27/03/2019 - 17:46

        how does this compare to psvr, google cardboard and occulus/htc etc..

      This is a much better deal since it includes the controllers, which are expensive / hard to find separately.

      But yeah WMR is really struggling.

        Actually, Windows MR is doing fine, especially in the enterprise space. It's affordability and ease of setup have made it pretty popular!

    Thanks op, jb sent me a sms confirmation that it’s ready to be collected as soon as I placed my order!

  • SunshineRay on 27/03/2019 - 14:32

    Comes up as no longer available in cart… Sold out.
    Edit: mistake… Just no longer available anywhere near me.

  • UberIsCool on 27/03/2019 - 14:32

    Got one for testing VR at work, tax claim also :)

    I told myself, no! You spend too much of random things that collect dust. The prospect of virtual reality porn was far too titillating.

  • xyron on 27/03/2019 - 14:33

    Thanks OP! Snapped one up.

  • Kybakz on 27/03/2019 - 14:33

      Pfft. How lame. Getting tired of the shitty stock jb keeps in WA!

  • AdosHouse on 27/03/2019 - 14:34

    Bloody hell that is cheap. I have one of these, pretty cool VR experience. Not as user friendly as my old Samsung Gear VR, but with a bit of work, can do much more.

  • DecoAus on 27/03/2019 - 14:35

    Nooo, can't get it from my local one :(

  • magic8ballgag on 27/03/2019 - 14:35

    Nice, this will be good for an introduction into VR, thanks OP!

  • Deepchild on 27/03/2019 - 14:36

    didnt let me purchase at checkout =(

    edit* i think some just bought the last stock before me =(

  • Hinee on 27/03/2019 - 14:36

    Sold out online - still available for Brisbane pickup at Indro, Chermside, Springfield & Coomera

    • Topdog on 27/03/2019 - 14:57

      not any more

  • 12Ghast on 27/03/2019 - 14:36
    +1

    Sad that I didn't get one in time :(

    But definitely worth - I bought a HP WMR set a few months ago second hand for $200 and was my first time trying VR. Paired with a GTX 1060-3GB and had no troubles running Beat Saber :') Though definitely struggling with VRChat.

    • Understandable on 27/03/2019 - 16:09

      what do you mean struggling with vrchat? i was running fairly smoothly on a 1050ti

      • 12Ghast on 27/03/2019 - 19:12

        shrugs

        Could be any problem. I left everything on my computer on default settings so no clue how that would affect VR. Runs VRChat perfectly fine in 2D (without headset) but laggy when headset is used (possibly also because I am mirroring on computer monitor). Also GPU memory capped out on VRChat so that probably plays a big part for me.

        • Understandable on 28/03/2019 - 23:59

          yeah, I have no clue how to disable the mirroring on vrchat, that capped memory would toll a bit what is ur average frame rate

  • impoze on 27/03/2019 - 14:36

    Plenty around the hills area in NSW

    edit: all gone

  • tanastra on 27/03/2019 - 14:36

    Dangggg !!! WA is always and still forgotten . No stores in WA has any stocks for collection!!! Oh well , saving my self $99

    Seriously people buying 10s each. There was many available across all of Melbourne. Somebody just bought it all to post on fleabay and scumtree.

    • Kybakz on 27/03/2019 - 14:38

      Makes me sad, literally got kicked out of the checkout page :(

      • Sequenox on 27/03/2019 - 14:39

      There was 1071 clicks on this bargain in 23 minutes. It's not that hard to imagine it sold out by curious buyers who bought 1 each. That's not to say people didn't buy multiples. But a deal like that was never going to last a long time.

      i can not find any in Melbourne 50km range

    • UberIsCool on 27/03/2019 - 15:20

      It is sad as I’ve needed one for work for a while and this is a decent price. I hate buy and resell for profit

  • TEER3X on 27/03/2019 - 14:37

    really good price if you're into vr. I wasn't a fan of occulus rift so i'm going to wait for next gen stuff. Deal is sold out online anyway.

  • superm86 on 27/03/2019 - 14:38

    What does it do?

  • brendanm on 27/03/2019 - 14:38

    Worth buying if you have rift? So tempted just because it's $99

    • icecold27 on 27/03/2019 - 14:44

      Imo no, I sold mine a couple weeks ago because it was to pixelate for my liking. You cant change the distance your eyes are apart aswell like the rift

      • brendanm on 27/03/2019 - 14:55
        +1

        It sold out while I was thinking about it anyway :P sounds like it wasn't a good idea anyway if its a pixelated mess.
