I also played some spider shooting game where you can move your hands/guns around using hand held joy sticks. Completely immerses you in the environment
It has flashes of brilliance for sure. This model is not HD, but in 2015, the HD version will likely be out. That should make a huge difference. Try the coaster with a fan blowing on your face and someone rocking your office chair -- it really confuses the body.

I went to Universal Studios in Orlando a couple of weeks ago, and the Harry Potter ride was absolutely fantastic; full motion actuation, immersive screens, etc.

If that exists, I haven't found it yet! But you CAN sit in a virtual movie theater and watch whatever, so I guess porn is included.

Yup. His endorsement is in the promotional video, and when he fully left id to join Oculus, it was exciting news.
