The act of console gaming has always been evolving: controllers got more buttons, then they went from digital to analog control. Games were on cartridges and then CDs, before upgrading to DVDs and Blu-ray discs. The biggest change in recent years was the adoption of motion control: Nintendo Wii, PlayStation Move, and then Microsoft Kinect.

A quick bit of calibration and you are ready to go. Not too bad.

And the first impressions of the headset? It is pretty comfortable to wear and it is easy to position to find the sweet spot where the picture is as sharp as possible.
