Spent a good 2 days with both Vive and Rift (A friends) and decided to cancel my..

Yeah... I thought for sure my main room would have plenty of space with everything pushed away, it's pretty big, I was kinda shocked that it wanted MORE. Also I had a hell of a time getting it to "see" the Vive headset. It kept telling me to put the headset where the satellites could see it, but they never did. I ended up finding the firmware update section and pulling down an update for the headset then it seemed to work... Why didn't it just do that automatically...

I have had some issues with the Oculus though. For some reason my Oculus games have started crashing randomly, like 10-20 minutes in they just freeze. I can hit the home button to exit the game and start it up again but it's extremely frustrating. Also for some reason the Oculus software keeps popping up while I'm just working in windows. I'll close it then a few minutes later it reopens and flashes at me. Maybe I have some driver issues, not sure, everything is updated but I haven't reinstalled Windows in a long time, might be time to do that... Also Oculus keeps bitching about my system being lackluster and that I will have a bad time, because my CPU is a little old, despite having a GTX 980 TI and being able to run everything at max settings. Not a big deal :P

I will also say that Vive has MORE content right now. The Oculus home store is a bit empty, especially once you ignore all the stuff that is old / lame Gear VR ports and the few things that are kinda crap. Despite that... After trying a dozen things on Vive, the only one I really want to go back and put more time into is The Gallery, and maybe Job Simulator to try the two jobs I didn't do yet, while on Oculus there's at least 3 games that I've already dumped several hours in to, and will continue.
