YOU WILL NOT GET FALLOUT 4 VR WITH THIS PURCHASE. I bought this bundle on March 25, it arrived at my post office and was ready for pickup April 2. The HTC code for Fallout 4 VR is a PROMOTIONAL CODE that ENDED on March 31--two days before my "bundle" arrived in the mail, and because the code is...

Easy to install and is very comfortable. I am usually very picky about sound quality and these sound great for what they are. They actually sound better than the headphones on the HTC Vive Pro I tried at a friend's.

Later revisions may improve the bugs and lack of variety, but for now this is just another VR tech demo that's all promise and too little polish.

A fun reinterpretation of classic rhythm action games; that looks great and has a potentially infinite music library

The gameplay gets repetitive very quickly, no matter how different the music is you use; Very buggy, particularly the menu interface

Removing yourself from the Vive's virtual worlds is an odd, disorientating experience. Despite the fantastic worlds into which you're submerged it's so realistic it's unnerving.

The HTC Vive is up against the Oculus Rift and Sony's PlayStation VR in the race to be the best and most successful virtual reality headset. I'll say right here and now that as a piece of technology, it probably is the best, but that as a consumer device, it probably won't be the most successful.

Brilliantly immersive; Can be worn at length; Plenty of good games

Neither cheap nor simple; Inevitably bulky & cumbersome; Very few great games

We'll start with the good, and when it's working, it's an excellent and immersive experience. The headset is not heavy, the cables do not really get in your way and once the tracking units are set up, you can forget about them.

How do you even begin to encapsulate the polarity of feelings the HTC Vive can inspire in an overall verdict? The HTC Vive is the bastion of high-end virtual reality in 2016, but its cost of entry isn't just a monetary value (despite that being the largest factor).

Truly stepping into VR for the first time; Intuitive motion controllers; Simplicity of Chaperone system

Very expensive for general consumer; Base Station fitting is a nightmare; Mediocre library at launch

Now that both the Vive and Rift are out and both systems have their own motion controls for full functionality, they end up looking very similar on paper. The Vive has the benefit of whole-room VR, though cable management is inconvenient if you're lurching blindly around a room.

Immersive experience; Includes motion controllers and external sensors for whole-room VR

Expensive; Tethered headset makes whole-room VR tricky

Take the blue pill. HTC's Vive weaves a VR fantasy you'll never want to leave.

Incredibly immersive; Hardware works well; Decent launch library; Precise; intuitive controls; Easy to set up

Headset cord can get in the way; Field of view isn't wide enough for full immersion; Headset can get sweaty

If your life is perfect and nothing every gets lost of breaks, this may be a good gaming product.

DIdn't get to use it long enough to find them

We lost a part; HTC would not sell us a replacement; They said to buy a new unit
