VR is expensive. Buying used might be the solution.
What to consider before buying a used VR headset
Do you have everything that’s required?
Cleanliness
Let’s just get right to it: Buying a used VR headset is somewhat akin to buying a used pair of headphones. It’s been tight against someone’s face and they’ve likely sweat into it with perhaps an eye goober or two has slipped into the mix. So, firstly, you need to be OK with that.
What you should then consider is perhaps replacing the foam face pads on your VR headset of choice. In the case of some headsets, like the HTC Vive, you can even replace the nose rest, that is, whenever they decide to ship spare parts.
Working condition
Is the used VR headset that you’re considering in working condition? If at all possible, test it to make sure. This will be nigh-impossible if you’re buying online, so you should ask for photos of the hardware working and more detailed photos of the hardware (ports and all) to make sure it’s not damaged….

First quarter sees strong double-digit growth overall, with advertising driving a bulk of the business.
Alphabet, the parent company comprised of Google and various other subsidiaries, has just released its Q1 2018 earnings. The top-level numbers are strong: $31.1 billion in revenue, leading to $7 billion in operating income for the three months. Those numbers are increases of 26% and 22% over the previous year, respectively, and earnings per share were $13.53. In short, Alphabet continues to have amazingly large growth for a company of its size.
Alphabet’s stock quickly spiked after the earnings release, but quickly leveled off to about $1070, just shy of where it last closed before the earnings release.
Unsurprisingly, Google’s advertising business is roughly 85% of its revenue.
The “Google” part of the business obviously continues to be the primary driver of revenue and income for the company, with the “Other bets” segment — a combination of small, speculative endeav…
Employees are said to begin testing the robot later this year.
In just four short years, Amazon’s turned Alexa into a household staple for millions of people across the world. The virtual assistant can already help users out with various questions and commands in its current form, but now it’s reported that Amazon will be taking things a step further by creating an in-home robot.
According to Bloomberg, Amazon’s Lab 126 – the same team behind Echo speakers, Fire TV, Fire tablets, etc. – has begun development of a robot codenamed “Vesta” (the Roman goddess of the home and family). Vesta is still very much in its early days, but it’s said that Amazon plans on testing it in employees homes at some point this year before selling it to the public in 2019.
Did anyone think Amazon wouldn’t make an Alexa robot?
Although specifics on Vesta are still few and far between, one Amazon employee says that it’s supposed to act as a portable version of Alexa that can travel to dif…
