My DS has gotten into VR. We have traveled to local museums that offer experiences and the like. VR equipment is #1 on his Xmas list. He is 10. He is a very smart kid and I feel like VR has some opportunities to expand that.
I have been eyeing up some Oculus Rift that is for sale on Black Friday at Best Buy. But we would also need to get a new computer to run these. (Will probably need the new computer in about 3 years but wasn't going to do it until then.) This is more than I would spend on a normal present but would be willing to if this is something that would grow with him.
We currently have no gaming systems in our home (well the original Wii). We plan to buy DS a gaming system in 1-2 years. (He used to ask for this nonstop until VR took over his interest.) So another option for this year would be to buy PS4 now and get the VR that goes with that.
I guess my question is which has better VR options for a tween that can expand with him as he grows into a teen. I am not interested in FPS games or the like. I'm also trying to figure out which will be more budget in the long run.
