        That Nintendo is such a slut-boy. Time to hit a lawyer and gym up?

        What is the 3rd logo? Some Japanese website I’m guessing but which one?

      I just picked up a Rift + Controller set since its only 500 dollars now. Pretty good time although I have a few nitpicks, but that mostly stems from first gen.

          Amazing thanks for being that guy. Must be a blast at parties.

          Also the conversion rate made it 50000 yen. Which is about 440 dollars now that I look.

          But again, really glad people like you post here!

            Wait, what, I didn’t mean to be that guy, what country are you in? They announced the permanent price cut at Oculus Connect last week. Wished whenever people here mentioned dollars they’d actually state which dollars they meant. Goddamnit, I want profiles back.

            If you are an Aussie, I’m sorry. If you’re Canadian, you’re sorry.

            Anyway, welcome to the world of VR!
