fitness88 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Is Vive or Rift retail sold...I want to try them before buying? Any retailers or is this just an online purchase? Thank you.

If in USA as stated Best Buy has demo kiosks in a bunch of stores, but be aware they are closing a bunch of them because not enough people are using them. So get on it if you are interested before one in your area if there is one closes. As for the Vive, you can try that out at Microsoft Stores. They offer demos so hopefully you have one in your area as well.

fitness88 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) I went today to the Microsoft store where they had a special demo area set up for both Vive [1149.00cad including hand controls] and Oculus Rift [849.00cad]. Edited February 14, 2017 by fitness88
hansangb Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 The Oculus VR Store Demo's are being closed down. Not completely. I think a subset of Best Buy VR stations are being closed down. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1
Torso Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Currently there are 500 Best Buys with Oculus VR pop-up stores in them. Announced 6 days ago(Feb 8th) Oculus is closing down 200 of them. So they will not all be gone but many stores will be losing theirs. 300 left until they decide to close more of them. I guess demo traffic at them after the holidays has died down significantly.
fitness88 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Posted February 15, 2017 Yes some of the Best Buy locations I called didn't have demos set up, fortunately the Microsoft Store does along with Vive so you can compare.
