Even the Go isn’t really plug and play yet. I wanted to watch the Connect 5 keynote yesterday morning. Pulled out my Go.

- Wouldn’t turn on. Took me a few times plugging both headsets in to realize I was pressing volume not power.

- couldn’t connect my controller. Thought maybe I had grabbed the wrong one but it turned out to be a dead battery

- Oculus Venues needed an update. Did that

- then it asks for my FB login. Take the headset off, get my phone

- turns out it’s a new phone, need to reinstall the Oculus app. Wait for that to download

- Connect my FB account via the browser

- now Venues loads, needs me to watch a Terms of Use video. Watch it. Nothing happens.

- hit the < button, the only identifiable option, it just takes me back to the Venues menu

- click into Connect again, watch the Don’t Be An Asshole video again. Still can’t move past it in any obvious way. Press all the buttons repeatedly

- close and restart Venues. No change. Give up

Total waste of 30 minutes.



Is it because you rarely use it? I remember having this issue with the PS3. Every time I wanted to play I had to wait for updates to finish.
