Well, this is annoying. I wanted a Vive so I bought one. Works great, super immersive. Google Earth VR is intoxicating. But I bought it for simracing and guess what? Despite racing in real life with no issues, VR racing makes me motion sick. DAMMIT!

 

Mint condition, only a few weeks old... It's only the simracing that does it to me, and it's only at racing speeds - if I toodle around in the sims at road speed I'm ok. So it's back to 2D screen based simracing for me, LIKE A SAVAGE.

 

Everything is there and unmarked, all packing etc. I have updated all the elements to the latest firmware so it's ready to go.

 

Purchased from Noel Leeming just after Xmas - will include invoice with sale for warranty.

 

Best price I can see for this is $1496 new... I'd like $1200 shipped within NZ.

 

Guts me to sell this - it's amazing tech, but it frustrates me that I can't race without feeling sick.

 

Cheers - N

Damn i wish i had seen this before buying my Vive this week also!. I've not had it more then a few days but in Assetto Corsa, Project cars and even in iRacing i start getting a little motion sickness especially if i ever spin. (i try not too haha)

 

 

 

Such a cool thing to play with, im wondering if my astigmatism in some ways isnt helping.

 

 

 

Anyone keen on buying a Vive for a good price let me know

Im a little peeved with myself given i didn't do alot of reading around only to realise SLi isn't that great in VR. I tried with SLi and without, but a friend
