I tried ED in the Vive for the first time. It was incredible and everything was big.

I wasn't going to mention it but a dude should never say that he can see another guy's little dude.
Or his "landing gear is huge". Without context.
Absolutely nice Vid... +1 Convinced me even more to get a Vive...
Lol love the video.
I need dis!
I also need the following:
A desk
A chair
A PC capable of running VR
A Vive/Rift
HOTAS
My girlfriend not to mind <- most important

My big problem with the HTC vibe is the price. Or, rather, that else I could spend the money on. The vibe itself is £700 (I think) and a PC capable of running it is going to be that again, at least. £1500 for a video games system that could be obsolete in 12 months if it doesn't catch on?
Yeah, i'd like one. But right now I think the price is sky-high for the early adopters. Give it six months and probably save yourself £3-400 and know if the OR or Vive will be the winner.

I don't think pricing is going to drop that quickly on HMD's. If you want to run VR, be prepared to pay for it. £1500 will only be a down payment long term. However, it is optional.
It's a bit of a catch-22
They won't be cheap until they're mass-market. And they won't be mass-market until they're cheap.
I seriously don't know how much you need to "do" VR. To do the best job possible you clearly need the best equipment possible. But does that mean you can't do something adequate with average equipment? What experience can you get with a gtx610 or r7 250?
My guess is that the first real success story will be the first reasonably priced all-in-the-box version, or possibly a console accessory. I don't think pc-based solutions will carry it. Sadly.

Thanks a lot for all of the comments everyone! I've been asked a few times about the config I'm using for VR which is funny because I'm literally just using the VR Low preset with a GTX 970. The game looks fantastic in the headset and I cannot wait to upgrade my GPU so I can start using VR High and above. However, some of the text is pretty blurry so I hope there's a way that can get sorted out soon.
I so incredibly much want a VR setup! Been thinking of how it would be since I was a kid, and now its finally here. But alas, I didn't listen to my parents, didn't do my homework, the band didn't work out and now I don't have any monies.
For my part, I invested $450.00 on a new 26 '' screen just for this game.
It seems in any case that E.D. appear larger and more dynamic with this type of interface ?
Question O.P. No There is no risk of dizzy after some hours of gaming with this device?
Mmmmm. maybe one day, I might have the opportunity to try this kind of helmet.
The game is beautiful, and for that, no controversy at all.

You view everything in it's actual true scale, be it looking at the avatar's hand, a 7km long station or 14 km high mountain. Haven't seen anyone mention ill effects after a long session, been using mine for 2 years now, have done 6/7 hour stints in virtual reality when I get a day to myself.
Brilliant. Deserves to go viral.
I got lent a DK2 for a weekend just after ED was released. Frame rate and blur meant you couldn't do long stints - but the scale. Omg the scale of everything..
Everyone who plays Elite needs to at least try it.
