Me neither.

I don't want "Virtual Reality". The main reason I play video games is to remove myself from reality, if only for an hour a day.

Wait...but...using video games to take yourself out of reality requires immersion. What VR offers is better immersion. There literally isn't a better way to use video games to remove yourself from reality.

I'm a bit confused by your post. VR is the best way of removing yourself from reality. I can appreciate not wanting VR (I'm not sure I want it either) but it IS an interesting step towards total escape.

I'd love to try it, I've seen allot of great reviews from people who've just experienced some of the titles (Rigs, Kitchen, for example).

you mean to tell me my great old great granddad was right when he said you gotta try before you buy, otherwise she will run of with half your money.

Well, maybe I didn't express myself correctly.

It's not like I live in a dirthole with mildew and bats on the walls, that I have to completely escape my living room. I need an hour to play a game and think about the tasks within it, so I really don't need to be completely cut off from the real world to enjoy myself. 

Immersion as well, when I play a game I know I'm playing a game, it's not like I really think I'm in a game. VR will be the same thing as now for me, with only a $300 helmet to weigh me down (both gravitationally and financially).

(That's why I will never understand those people who say they are too scared to play horror games like PT. Do they not realize it is a fictional game and that nothing will happen to them?)

That's the whole point of what Sony's been saying. People need to try VR in order to be interested in buying it. It's not like a movie or a regular video game, where they can show a stage demo or a trailer and get people excited and wanting to buy the product. Becase a normal trailer can't possibly get across what VR has to offer.

i don't need to try a new smartphone to know, what i'll get
but for new technology. sure

Well.. its at least better then doing a kickstarter to "see if there is an audience".. how did they call it? Market research... interesting..

Well that's why I said 'almost'.  But there are many products that we try before we buy such as test driving a car, trying on clothes, downloading a game demo, 30-day free subscription trials, make-up samples, etc.
