Just thought I'd let you know that my Z800 and trackIR combo is up for sale on ebay. (Item number: 200066909957) No problem with it, I've just bought myself a dual projector stereo 3D setup instead. Now, anyone lend me a couple of quid till pay day? :-)

It's great. best thing about it is the stereo 3D which everyone should try at least once to see what they've been missing. I can't believe stereo 3d is so ignored in the race sim world. Second best is being able to look around simply by moving your head. I will miss this with my new setup. I haven't found it uncomfortable but I've never worn it for more than 2 hours at a time. (light-weight racer!) SVGA res is not really a problem. the fact that there's two SVGA images blended seems to help a lot. I guess if you've been used to UXGA you're going to notice the difference, but for me, the sense of real depth outweighs any resolution issue. Field of view is still not amazing with any HMD and this is the best consumer one on the market. It's about the same as a 21" screen viewed close up....but of course, you can turn your head to see more.

Thanks nikimere!

Buying a HMD is never going to be a sensible decision... it's a silly one! ask anyone who watches you racing in it! But from the inside it's very cool!

Ack.. I was keeping an eye on this one, in case Kev decided not to go for it.. but the auction is now at roughly US retail new price, and my money conscience would drag me outside and glass me in the face if I clicked the Bid button :(
