Microsoft Discounts Mixed Reality HMDs by up to $200 Today Only
As part of Microsoft's "12 Days of Deals" push towards achieving more and better sales of Microsoft-branded products, the company has pushed a pretty hefty discount for its MR HMDs mere months after their release. The discounts see the Acer Windows Mixed Reality, Dell Visor, HP, and Lenovo Explorer take price-cuts of $200 over the base price, while Samsung's Odyssey HMD sees a much more level $50 price-cut.
With a move so close to holiday season and in the wake of steep discounts from Virtual Reality headset makers Oculus and HTC, Microsoft is pushing as hard as it can towards shipping enough units to build a new VR ecosystem. Consumers are the ones that stand to gain the most here, however. Though if you want to get your hand son one of these, be fast: the Acer and Dell options are already sold out, and the others' supply might also be inferior to the demand. So go there, and grab them while they're hot.

One other note I do wear glasses and can play pretty much without issues until I start sweating and have to adjust my glasses.
Game application wise Windows Mixed Reality uses the Store we all love to hate in Windows 10 and the only game I picked up from there is Space Pirates Training. Very smooth purchase and when it was finished downloading you get the prompt in the cliffhouse like if you were looking at your monitor and very easy to get into. Steam VR can be easy but sometimes I've had to go through task manager to end Steam services to get the app to even see my headset which is plugged in all the time or at the worst restart the PC. Once I get Steam VR to launch correctly Arizona Sunshine, The Lab, and Pinch-Hit Baseball have played flawlessly. I do have Revive on the system to try Oculous games but haven't had time thanks to Arizona Sunshine and Space Pirates :)
Overall I'm extremely satisfied....especially for the price payed.
