They are doing demos at certain Best Buys. I played EVE Valkyrie and it was amazing. I mean, I am not sure playing regular games will ever be as satisfying again.
The headset was lightweight and comfortable. I nearly forgot it was on my head. The "screen" goes all the way to your peripheral vision so there is this odd suspension of disbelief. I know I am just playing a game, but I cannot look anywhere else. Everywhere I look is cockpit.
I cannot wait to do this with a racing game.

Ya I imagine sim games will have a huge benefit from VR headsets. I always loved mech warrior games and between those and racing games I could see myself "investing" in a VR headset in the future.

The only "problem" I see with the non-super expensive kits like from Rainbow/etc is the weight limit for the swings won't handle my fat ass.. but I'll save myself a couple grand and just not swing.. 
The best deal is probably finding someone selling one in good shape on craigslist for cheap.. I think I'm a year or two out from really buying one though.

Jeff, I am having the same experience looking at playground kits for Ethan. $400-600 for hardware and building plans. Still need to arrange for lumber. F that.

We found one on Craigslist we are going to go look at today. We visited the Rainbow and Play N Learn showroom up by us. It's kind of crazy to me that they sell $15,000 playgrounds.

I'd guess as long as you get one that's not much older than ~5yrs old it should be in very good shape. I'm guessing some of the older sets that haven't been cared for and/or have rotting boards might just be more trouble than they're worth..? Ultimately the good thing about the swingsets is they're not exactly rocket science.. I've thought about buying a cheaper set and somehow sistering up the beam that supports the swings so it could handle adults..
