Would a $50 savings on the HTC Vive get you off the fence

You're hardly trapped with the Rift*... but okay, the Vive is easier to set up for large tracked areas, and there's no need to fiddle with USB ports or expansion cards.

The Rift is more comfortable, especially if you don't get the $100 deluxe head strap upgrade for the Vive. But the PSVR is actually considered the most comfortable headset on the market. The upcoming headsets from Microsoft partners will use the same mounting system as the PSVR, and so will LG's upcoming SteamVR headset (sort of a gen 1.5 Vive).

*I mean I was just floating around in the rings of Saturn a minute ago, using a Rift. [] amazing stuff, except for the radiation and lasers trying to kill me.

It's only an experience but wielding the lightsaber for that guy up there? A dream come true.

Sure, that bald guy on TV had Dixon Hill. But we aren't without our own escapes.

Which game or experience is that one with Saturn? I already have about a dozen games. A couple I even paid for. And my wishlist grows weekly.

Lone Echo. It's on Oculus, so with a Vive you'd have to run it via Revive.
