AR/VR will be more than niche and go beyond gaming. VR arcades and the cutting edge.

I've been using Oculus Go since it was just called Gear VR. I cannot really imagine that it's much better for that price. But I might consider getting it so I have something separate from my phone.

edit: I bought it now from Amazon. Let's see how good it is.

Give us a headsup when you get your delivery. You tried PsVR/oculus/vive so you can give us a baseline to compare it off of? I think it'll be a wise purchase for what it is, certainly not going to be good for gaming beside the odd few games like Ultra wings, rangi and hopefully something along the lines of cool paintR. Daydream will at very least have good apps and media and I think that's where this thing'll will shine. Watching Netflix in 5.1 surround sound laying in bed, sitting on a bus or simply while someone else is hogging whatever TV should be worth the price alone. I've always found using my phone to be a subpar experience however the headset should be a bonus over the TV and much more comfortable than holding your phone. There's also the 5k czeck porn videos I hear this thing should be able to run but I can't get comfirmation on how well they run anywhere. 

Anyway, 5,1 virtual surround sound simulator with no drift at 200 quid. Damn, bargin. Looks like a comfortable device too albeit suffers from the strap design. I'm actually pretty excited for this device even though i know its shortcomings.

I've only ever tried Gear VR and it was passable. I never tried tethered VR because it's absolutely useless for watching porn. I'm waiting for a killer app for PC and super premium HMDs before I get into that. So I will only be able to tell you about the visual quality compared to the GearVR with a Galaxy S9. According to reviews it should be about as good as the Rift.

We'll see on Monday.
