    Meanwhile I’m over here still wanting to try it out.

    The closest I’ve ever gotten was trying out virtual boy when it was brand new in stores and had one set up for people to try out.

    I’d love to try it before buying. Not really interested in buying without it, but that’s not how things work anymore. So I guess I’m just gonna skip it unless it gets massively popular and it’s just everywhere and I’m stuck missing out on something huge if I don’t have it.

      Some best buy stores have demos in the US where you can try it out for a bit. I honestly find the social aspects to be the most interesting part of VR (and I’m not a people person). A 10 minute demo isn’t probably going to completely sell you on VR but they can answer questions etc.

        Well apparently mine doesn’t. But I really don’t go there anyway. I went there for something specific a while ago to buy for someone else, but in general everything they would have I can get cheaper online somewhere else. Their online store occasionally has a good deal tho. If they had a demo for it I’d go to check it out tho.
