i would like to watch movies or play games while laying down.  Makes no sense to have to play sitting upright.

It makes a lot of sense. Cinemas have seats not beds. 😛

Dear Oculus, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, please.

Skybox allows using the cinema whilst laying down and anything used with Virtual desktop can be set at any angle including videos.
Internet browser can also be put at any angle.

Ya, that's pretty sad.  The main reason I purchased the Go was to watch Netflix lying on the couch or in bed and that app won't support it.  It works with youtube though,.

Don't know what you are doing wrong but the Go and Netflix work perfectly well lying down.
A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.

I watch Netflix in bed using my GO and it works fine?

You just press the button at the top to move the screen.

Maybe they modified the app since I purchased it.  This great news!

As someone wrote in another thread. I think the whole UI, not only movie apps, should be possible to calibrate to a level other than horizontal.

Such feature could be of great value for disabled people not being able to get out of bed.
