HTC Vive

I went with the HTC Vive over the Oculus rift because I'm betting on the overall in room experience will be the future of VR and because they have already developed controllers designed for VR. I don't need another xbox controller. Plus partnering with steam and having that streamlined process to acquire new games give them an advantage in the future. However, given that oculus is owned by FB, they have the infinite resources to potentially beat HTC Vive and steam in the long run. I can foresee many of us buying multiple VR headsets the same way we buy multiple consoles as prices decline. But for now, I'm giving HTC Vive a big 5 stars for being the first to create a true VR experience.

HTC Vive as a company are appalling, there customer service is non existent and they are thieves. I bought a HTC Desire22. I decided before it arrived it wasn't what I really wanted so tried to cancel it but wasn't able too. It arrived on 13/11/22 and after a day trying to get a returns label I agreed to there £20 return postage fee. I sent it back next day and they signed for it on the 15/11/22. The phone was unopened and still sealed in the packaging they sent it out in. I called 2 days later to ask about my refund and was told they need up to 15 days to check the phone. I explained it was still sealed but they claimed it had to be opened and tested... The lady said she would try and speed it up. It is is now 06/12/22 and they still haven't refunded me so I will have to do a charge back. Avoid this company at all costs, they have the phone and £399 of my money for nearly 3 weeks and just ignore you.
