"The much-hyped virtual reality headset Oculus Rift is finally shipping to its first customers this week, and the Facebook-owned company dished out a few of them ahead of time to select publications.
"The embargo lifted Monday morning and we have waded through tens of thousands of words contained in nine reviews so you don't have to in order to bring you:
"The Final Word on the Oculus Rift.
"And that word is: Wait.
"The VR poster child already had quite a mountain to climb, having announced that it will cost almost double what people expected – $599 (£420). As a number of reviewers also noted, they had to upgrade their PCs to even get it to run. You're looking at a minimum $1,000 (£700) spend for hardware.
"Then add the fact that the Rift's hand controllers aren't coming out for another six months, so you're left with slightly rubbish Xbox controllers; and the fact that there is a permanent 13-foot cord attached to the back of your head while playing.
"So before anyone even gets playing, the Rift was going to have to blow people's socks off to get a great review. And in that it, um, failed to do so…."
