Netflix DVD service used to get new films months before they were available for streaming, and had more titles available than all the streaming services combined. They had obscure things that were available nowhere else, and rarities that to purchase would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars to buy. It was like the Library of Alexandria of movies, and it's passing is a loss to humanity.
VR hardware Reviews always talk about key features, but they almost always skip a buying concern that is ALL over the support forums! Oculus Rift is the only VR option that has decent hand controllers that don't break too often, with replacements available and for less than half the price of A whole new goggle set! That is a huge selling point for Rift and the reason I drooll over the Vive Pro but would -never- buy one. Vive controllers have a switch that breaks way too fast, and you have to buy controllers in pairs for a fortune. WMR vendors won't sell you replacement controllers AT ALL! One breaks or you bought goggles without controllers? Then most games are unplayable unless you throw away your goggles and buy a whole new set! It's like having to buy a new car every time you need tires. THAT is a major reason why Rift is so popular despite lower spec's and higher prices. Who wants to spend $400+ and if you smack a real wall while playing you'd have to toss your whole rig? A d yet, nobody mentions that massive reason to pick rift in these reviews...
