HP can be as abusive as they want as long as there's no way to remotely disable your device and you can play Steam games on it.
I don't care if my HP account gets deleted.
The hovering headphones are amazing. You know the Reverb 2 uses the exact same ones as the Index, right?
You can dislike them, but you are very much in the minority on that.
Audio-science time! (for a given amount of science in a field full of homeopathy): the headphones NOT touching the ears is important to preserve the feeling of sound coming from around your head (the outer ear shape is not compressed) instead of from withing your head.
Porn was one thing the original Oculus CV1 package did good – they've included a special pilot for multimedia.

You can use your own headphones (there’s a 3.5mm jack) and you should stop watching porn.
I got one to try to replace my Rift because of this FB account fiasco but sold it 2 days later as it was so disappointing. Horrible black levels, those horrible hovering headphones, also bad for porn since the controllers are not easy put on one handed.
Now hoping the HP Reverb G2 is the thing although HP has a horrible rep for being abusive to customers as well as waiting to see.
