    HTC Vive Wireless Adapter Review: No Tether, No AMD

    >and there’s no question that once you cut the cord, you won’t want to go back to a wired VR experience. I went back to wired from the TP Cast because of fuzzy video, and tracking glitches. I hoped this would be better, but it's being reported that there's no compression chip on the Vive...

    Sweet. My TPLink died a couple of months ago, and was never that great, so I went back to wired. Time to go wireless again, and maybe get a Vive Pro.

    Sony Has Sold 3,000,000 PlayStation VR Consoles

    >Our review of the PSVR noted that it was the cheapest way to experience premium VR--especially if you already owned a PS4. What makes a low-end VR system "premium"?

    Strange Bedfellows: HTC’s VR Store Now Supports Oculus Rift

    Rift performance via Open VR is not good even on a high-end PC. Switching to the native Rift API makes games run a lot better.
