#126: HTC Vive & Oculus Rift launch woes, Playstation VR & more!

At the time of writing Patrick has actually received his HTC Vive, but at the time of recording both headsets were suffering from problematic launches. The Oculus Rift isn't expected to arrive for most people until the end of May/early June, so this has given all of us plenty of time to reassess our decisions on which headset we want, or if we even want one at all. Perhaps it might even be worth sitting on the fence until Sony release their Playstation VR, cos if anyone knows how to launch a cutting edge technology product it's them right?
