I think I just found my second major HMD purchase (Lenovo)

Lenovo made an augmented reality headset for 'Star Wars' games

'Jedi Challenges' and holochess are some of the first experiences.

Disney was also rather tight-lipped on the game itself, but teased a
brief video of a woman suiting up for lightsaber training complete with a
motion controller resembling the famous Skywalker-family lightsaber
handle. Footage of a real-time ground battle game with troops, turrets
and AT-ATs and holochess were also shown. Pro tip: Always let the
Wookiee win.

I got this for Xmas. Here's my unboxing and review of it. Pretty cool high tech toy I'd say..

Thanks for sharing @SadGamerDad 
Appreciate the review as I was finding it hard to get a honest run down and FOV comment.
Sadly, I think you may have to wait a long time for a new software update!

So now, not only do you get to look ridiculous wearing that headset, but you'll also see everybody around you laughing at you, as you pretend to wave a lightsaber about looking like a right dick. Progress.


Someone named "Chazmeister" is worried about looking like a dick?




Not just a dick though, a right dick. What is that?

I cant believe any one would pay 200 for a hmd that only plays a star wars game. for 150 more you could have gotten an oculus on black Friday that plays more games.

It's marketed for diehard star wars fans, they will buy it regardless.

I think it looks like an overpriced baby's toy with terrible games.  This can't play anything else right?  The lightsaber fights looks lame.  He's deflecting blades by barley flicking his wrists, the chess game looks like it was slapped together. (Make the chess game from star wars, these star wars nerds will buy anything).  The RTS game looks ok, but not worth $200!  This should only cost $50, but the components alone would cost more than that.  Is anyone here going to buy this if it's not in the clearance bin?
