    There is nothing like motion and VR its a whole different way of gaming/simulation :) I loved my DK2 and unless there is something wrong with you, you will want more

    Edit: @stevemontuno if you were anywhere up in the northwest matey you could pop into mine and give it a go :p

    Good stuff. Mine is due for delivery today too.

    From what I've gathered just press skip on all the steps in oculus setup that say it isn't compatible and skip the rift setup for cv1, it should work anyway. There is runtime switching software for older stuff and the older runtimes are still available.
    Steam vr should also work.

    What games are you planning on running?

    You bastard. I still have to wait for my sister to get back to work and then for it to make it over here. It has been delivered to her work though so that's one step done but the anticipation is killing me.

    At least you will have worked out all the bugs by the time it gets to me though haha, can't wait for some Dirt Rally action.

    Befor my Vive i had a DK2...in my opinion, the vive is not much better. For racing only, i would choose the DK2, because the price is so good.
