I sometimes wonder how many people were excited about VR before trying it?



The consensus seems to be that VR is something you won't understand until you've tried it, yet it was something I had wanted since the early 90's.



I wanted VR so bad that it was motivating factor for me to spend €850 on my first and only smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus) with a Gear VR because couldn't bare the wait for PSVR to come out. I played my Gear VR every day for weeks after I first got it; didn't touch my other systems. I didn't even bother having a SIM card in the phone for three months; I was only interested in the phone as a VR device.



I also took any opportunity I could get to try out the bigger VR headsets before launch. I went to a videogame museum in Rome during a vacation just to play an early Rift, and I went to GamesCom 2015 and waited in line for over an hour to play PSVR.



I counted down the days to PSVR launch for over three months before it came out. Out of all the game consoles and gaming hardware I've ever had, I've never looked forward to anything as much as PSVR. I felt like a kid at Christmas on launch day. I took two days off work to make a four day weekend and spent over 30 hours playing it during those first four days.



The initial excitement has long since passed, and I sometimes go weeks without playing VR now, but it's still the only system on which I regularly go back to replay games I've finished before.



I have not been disappointed at all.
