lolo28 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 baz023, hey mate. Think if you redeem the coupon that comes with the order, you get tilt brush, zombie trainer simulator, not 100% sure think you also get dota (thought was free anyway), and elite dangerous (I bought that without vr a while ago, gave me a headache). Personally I downloaded the lab, pretty amazing demo If your keen on VR "video" content I recommend whirlgig (works on all my videos I used on samsung vr as it uses your computers video >>codecs<< so no issues for me. Virtul Desktop is an improvement on the vanilla one, but its video program only ran 2% of videos. Honestly I am slighly dissapointed by the lack of free/demo content. though its night 2. the Samsung one had some pretty well thought out content, though did buy a few. Image quality obviously denser then gearvr, can still see pixels as expected, but lot less obvious when fully immersed. refresh rate if Virtual Desktop reading is correct its solid 90fps. No headache or major eye strain compared to gearvr (mostly eye strain even low brightness). To be fair did my research knew what to expect, not regretting my purchase by a long shot! amazing product. looking foward to 2 solid days of finding out what games are good to buy and play!

Hey , do you mean bundled with the Vive, or available to download? There's loads of excellent free and demo content both on Viveport and Steam. We added a few new free titles to Viveport this week, including Allumette and Discovery VR - and then there's apps like The Body VR and Pearl, both Viveport Developer Awards nominees. :) You can't go wrong with The Lab, btw. Try Destinations, too, which is sort of Valve's companion VR demo app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolo28 Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi Rockjaw, I got a "preorder" bundle code with my purchase for steam, now before everyone starts flipping out, if your region is USA its 799+41 postage (840), if its Australia its 817.27 + 201.73 postage (1019 USD). So guess I covered the costs and then some. Thanks for the advice, trying Allumette, The body VR, but Discovery VR and the Pearl doesnt seem to be on steam.

lolo28 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 baz023, Hey, as mentioned to evannucci, your probably better off asking suport via email.

No, but they're on Viveport, which is where I linked to. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rez Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ordered mine on Fri 14th, received order email pretty much instantly. Haven't heard a thing since nearly a week later. Annoying dropping a grand on an item and having it charged, then having no idea where it is in the system =S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rez Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 evannucci Same, ordered on 14th, 20th now and still no shipping email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockman Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Hi guys, Fo those who does not know you can get HTC Vive through Microsoft https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msaus/en_AU/pdp/HTC-Vive/productID.5081166500?icid=AU_Home_Spotlight_2_HTCVive_NA_NA_28112016 Their first unannounced price was around $1100 but they were not selling for this price at least on their website. Now they have started selling it for AUD $1400 It is a bit more expensive to buy though Microsoft than directly but I am using forex echange rates. I think for paying with Paypal(their exchange rates) or a credit card(your bank exchnage rates) it may be that Microsoft one can be cheaper than buying directly.
