Has anyone tried this out yet? If so I'd like to hear your thoughts

I think its great so far. Slip your earphones in and you are taken into another realm. You can easily forget about the world around you. I've only played free games so far. Some have been good and others awful. The focus wheel is not 100% accurate so I often have to adjust it depending on what I'm looking at. The 360 videos are amazing. They're not HD though which sucks but I think they're already massive files. I experienced a ski slope, a rollercoaster ,wave surfing and swimming with sharks. One of the games Temple Run left me nauseated for hours it was so intense after 3 minutes game play


I'm not a fan of the controls on the headset. There is a separate control pad I haven't bought yet. This is impressive technology I can't wait to see a Star Trek game in 360.
 
Yeah, taking tours of classic Star Trek ships in recreated in VR will be awesome.

As for actual gameplay, I'm very excited to try the Vive, Gear VR, Oculus Rift et al, although I'm not likely to early adopt at this point (i.e. this year).
