Oculus at $400 was a better deal. Luke from ltt thought the oculus beat the vive anyway.

From what I recall was stated early on, the Rift was rated as more comfortable, and the touch controllers were more intuitive than the Vive ones, but Vive had the better room scale experience. I don't know if that has changed, especially the new strap should help with the comfort.

The vibe has better room scale with two sensors. If you get a third for the oculus, it is a lot better. The price difference of $200 is not worth it. I was able to get flagship games like robo recall and dead and buried for free.

I think best buy is selling rift bundles for 350 in their BF add -- but as stated in other comments, at $599, at least IMO is a meh price.

id honestly wait for the next gen VR headsets, when they can up the resolution, VR is fun but its only fun if you dont use it alot, the initial experience is wow this is amazing, then after using it a few days or weeks it gets kind of meh when you get used to the VR space, but of you have it on a party situation then its really fun.

the vive is still better with room scale when the rift has 3 sensors, its when you get a fourth they balance out.

Also the vive has more 3rd party accesories and the controllers charge over usb. You don't have to use AA batteries

It might be nice to be able to continue playing and only switch the batteries out

Does it even come with controllers. I thought all of the mixed reality headsets came with controllers.
