So I am toying with the idea of getting either a Vive or an Oculus Rift in 2017.

 

I haven't actually tried any current gen VR, let alone been able to make a considered comparison between the two and I would want to do so before dropping upwards of a thousand bucks!

 

Is there anywhere in Auckland where I could try the above in a relaxed, low-pressure environment?

 

 

 

Cheers

If you were wanting to give it a decent go, I know quite a few people who have hired the Rift and Vive from this place on TradeMe - http://www.trademe.co.nz/services/other-services/other/auction-659537518.htm

 

Pricing is a bit expensive, but you have it for a week so would have a good chance to test it out
