A steal at $199 for some but if you own a Rift are you a little bit interested in this standalone VR HMD?

I'm waiting for  how Santa Cruz will turn out then I will decide between the two

I already have the rift so no I won’t buy the go or the Santa Cruz for myself. I am however mildly interested in possibly purchasing for my older kids . My thinking is if they have their own then they will leave my rift alone lol. But I want to wait until after they have released to see if they are worth it first.

I'll want to know the actual specs (how it compares to a Galaxy S(x) or Note (x)) first, but I'm most likely buying one for my mother. She loves VR and enjoyed the GearVR. Her phone is too old to run a GearVR otherwise I'd give her mine (it's worthless to me, my Note 8 won't fit in it). All of her computing is done by an ultrabook and an old imac, she's not going to get a gaming pc.

The Go also seems better from a developer point of view. Less software bloat in the way, no need to keep inserting/removing the phone. I might get one for myself for my planned warehouse scale experiments.

Headsets: Wrap 1200VR, DK1, DK2, CV1, Rift-S, GearVR, Go, Quest, Quest 2, Reverb G2

If you don't have a good desk with your PC or laptop all ready and set up you won't use that PC/laptop much.

This will get used so much more than a Gear VR with phone.  It's a great step forward.
Big PC, all the headsets, now using Quest 3

not sure if I'm going to get one for the kids or not..
Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

Depends on the quality and amount of software available I guess.

Not a chance, Candy Crush VR doesn't interest me. 😛

What about Bejeweled VR? Or Angry Birds VR!

The Rift master race presence is quite strong here.

The Rift Master Race presence is strong EVERYWHERE. Why do you think there isn't an HTC Vive forum..? 😮 😛
