    I like it. I have a Playstation emulator and hooked up a ps4 controller and it is pretty cool.

    NextVR is cool for watching live sports and the sports videos they have on there. Netflix is kinda cool since it gives you a big screen feel. Gunjack is a pretty cool but simple cockpit fighter game. Drift looks cool but can get a little annoying ha. Oculus arcade is cool. Lots of old arcade games and puts you in a virtual arcade but only 20 minutes free per game. I head Herobound is a really good game but nothing crazy with graphics or anything. The Night Cafe is like going inside a Van Gogh painting and looks really cool but havent used that app too much. Jaunt VR has all kinds of cool videos but they have it for Cardboard too. Samsung internet is cool because you can do everything by voice and watch 3d "adult movies" if you go to the channel on pornhub.

    My son is buying a new PC, probably with the powerful nVidia Pascal based GTX1080 or GTX1070, just to have something that can drive one of the 3. Not positive which VR model he'll get, but the new nVidia cards come out at the end of this month.

    it's pretty cool if you want to experience VR without shelling out $100s. The pictures aren't HD, but besides that it's pretty awesome. I'm glad I bought one with my S7

    He should probably go with the HTC Vive, And he's right to wait on the 1080/70. The early reports show it being a big jump in performance and not costing 1k like the Titan does. I think those cards will be awesome for early VR

    Agree on both the 1080/1070 cards; I hopefully plan on buying a 1080. I have heard really good things about the Vive, but not so much as far as Oculus Rift is concerned.

    Which one of the platforms supports POV pr0n?

    I predict that that will be the one that kills the others. That was why VHS killed Betamax...

    Yeah it is pretty cool. It looked good when they did it on the Gear VR, I can only imagine how much better on Vive or Oculus.

    More importantly, can anyone please answer my very important question. Thanks in advance. I assume Jontro would also appreciate a quick answer.

    Gear VR does just through the internet app on Pornhub. They have a channel that is all VR. The ladies kind of tower over you though it feels like ha.

    They have videos from the NBA Allstar Weekend you can view in VR. It's pretty cool. It's like you are sitting on top of the backboard during the dunk contest.
