I have put off getting one of these for our family for quite some time now. I hesitated in regards to technology and the metaverse and the affect it can have on children. I now feel that it is a great gift for the whole family, if it is treated as a family item and time is limited. We just wish the battery lasted longer. I understand one needs to take a break after an hour or so but with a family of 5 it would be nice to take turns without having to charge it in between. Wonder if this is built in on purpose to force people to take a break, if so, I'm with it...play something together as a family while it's charging right? Quality family time.

Im older and this recent addition, NOT disappointed! Plethora of game categories to choose & learning the controls is intuitive. Puzzle games, learn VR Tai Chi, a different language, travel around the world, or watch a movie in a VR theater with family in another state. Not only a toy to go pew-pew. Only negative is battery life < 2 hours, AMAZ $75 BOBOVR S3 head strap, takes weight off your face, 10kmA rechargeable batt extend fun 4+ hours (honestly worth it) You're going to be plugged in. The BB crew geeks can help you decide on sufficient cord if plugged in while playing. I recommend 7ft+sitting_12ft+ standing USB C TO USB C or USB w-ever is easier. BB has 7ft 20Gbps 60w braided <--in store. Lastly VR sickness is real! Its motion sickness takes about 4-5 days to get used to if your a pew-pew type. Enjoy!

I like this vr, got for my grandbaby! Being a gamer myself, I found it weird that the controller aren’t rechargeable. I might be returning if i dont find any. Nobody should have to find a battery whilst in game time. This is such a xbox thing, u spend all this money then have to find battery packs or wireless rechargeable controller. Please fix this money grab! Item is already expensive for single person use.
