Smash Hit is super fun and free.

Thanks for the suggestion, downloading it now! I thought the highly recommended VRSE stuff, ROSE, Jurassic World, Cirque du Soleil were all kinda disappointing. I ripped a 360 video from YouTube and dumped it in my Milk VR too.

I was scouting for a cheap one (people who got it with the roadshow or otherwise) for more than a week and found one. Try mudah.my etc.

If you're patient and willing to spam clicks, you can wait till Tuesday and try to get RM200 voucher from 11street.

Does it matter what speed my memory card is if I'm just saving photos and maybe putting some videos in it? I'm guessing the Samsung Pro microsds are only necessary for 4k recording?

I like it. I don't think the cardboard can possibly be better than the Gear VR, judging from what I've read. Sure, it's not super high-res because of the limitations of the phone itself, but it's still a good experience and some games are still quite immersive.

I got one for RM298. Wasn't willing to pay RM459 myself.

Brand new, box was still sealed. I was thinking he got it from the roadshow, but I think he buys phones from SG and brings it over to sell, lol.

Congrats

Definitely try Catatonic by VRSE for people playing with VR. With headphones.

It's definitely not HD, but if adjusted properly and aligned correctly, it looks 'clear' but with a noticeable screendoor effect.

Both are the same.

It's very hard to show you how it looks like in a video, like showing you how a 3D movie in the cinema would look like on a normal 2D TV. Only way to know is to try it, but I guess display units don't have good demos. It's definitely not HD 720p/1080p or whatnot.

Eh, I disagree. Some people like playing games with the Gear VR (which from A LOT of comments that I've read, is a lot more immersive than VR Box). Stuff like Dreadhalls (horror game) is pretty immersive despite the limitations of the display. Some people like being able to simulate watching a movie in the cinema (imagine having a huge screen in front of you and you're in the cinema with seats all around you).

To each their own, I guess.

I think it's pretty unfair to say the VR Box and the Gear VR are similar. Judging from what I've read the VR Box has a significantly smaller FOV compared to the Gear VR, and if anything merely a google cardboard in a plastic case. The Gear VR isn't just an empty case with lenses on it; it has a custom inertial measurement unit for rotational tracking.

While google cardboard is an introduction to VR, it's no where near as immersive. (My cardboard arrived yesterday, lol)

My battery went down by 7% in 3 hours with 0 hours of direct usage (no screen-on time but active on whatsapp via web browser). It says Android OS took up 43% and Android system took up 29%. Doesn't seem normal to me ... any idea what I could do to further figure out what's happening?

Nope. My phone drops about 4% overnight (night click off, wifi on, auto-sync on (I think?))

Eee, malas leh. I'll continue observing for a few more days and see if there are any changes. It wasn't like this a few days ago :/
