Maybe I'm old fashioned but with 3 kids, we spent something around £500 in total on gifts and food over Christmas, £500 for a single gift for an 11 year old seems a little excessive, especially when the product is rated 13+ because of the potential damage to still developing eyes.

Love the first review on the JL page- some bloke bought one for his 11 year old for Christmas. That's wrong on quite a few levels :/

:smile: You've really taken offence haven't you?
It was you wasn't it?
You bought your son a £500 Rift for Christmas.
Own up :smile:
You conveniently neglected to mention the fact I pointed out it's recommended for 13+ as well, which was a good contribution to the discussion but don't let that get in the way of a good old fashioned rant.
I don't know if you read the comments on here much, but there is plenty of discussion over a lot of stuff, which is what makes it such a great place.
These still need to come down another £150 or so for me to consider but at least the price is moving in the right direction.

Boycott the game until the oculus VR update next year. Should be cheap by then too

Thats a bit like saying you are not going to have sex until Jessica Alba or another hot celeb is single again.

Amazon have price matched too. I am tempted as hell but it's still a very expensive piece of kit. Even at £499 if it came including the touch controllers it's a lot of money.

I'm confused why it's an issue to buy one for an 11yr old.. must be missing something.

11yr old should do homework, not be playing with £500 toy

Not bad, at that price I'm almost tempted to upgrade from the DK2.
...though I really want the Touch controllers.
