An “early adopter” friend of mine just got a new Rift S, and he let me borrow his Rift to see if I’m interested because he wants to sell it.
Last night I got the Rift set up with Project Cars and my Logitech G27 wheel & shifter, and it was flippin’ amazing. The added situational awareness and immersive feel is inestimable.
Even though the new price is a little steep at $400, it’s a steal at half that for a used set in great shape. I’d think now is the time to find more of these out there as people upgrade their units to the newest ones. Plus, if all you’re going to do is drive with your own wheel, I suppose you don’t even need one with working hand touch controllers, and you might be able to find steeper discounts for those.

I got one for $230 from an old guy who used it once and got sick, apparently. With the touch. It’s so great.
Check Swappa.com for a good place to buy.

Or if you wanna get into VR on the super cheap, especially for a racing application, windows mixed reality is always a bargain that works just as well.
* when the game supports VR properly

Ive been chewing over the mixed reality but with so many variants and questionable support its a bit hard to drop the coin. Thats aside from me having aged and lighter duty computers than most who would claim vr ready.
Got any good resources on it? If its cheap enough and flexible enough id love to project cars and beat saber.
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

I can’t wait. I’ve tried VR a few times and loved it, but I'm too cheap to buy new. I'm still kicking myself for passing on a good deal I saw at a pawn shop last year. I don't have to have the latest and greatest, so a used setup will be just fine for me.

Basically runs on SteamVR, so should be compatible with most non-exclusive rift titles. I got mine on sale for half price at B&H; its not the greatest panel density but its easy to drive (granted I have a GTX1080).
