I have ordered and received my own unit.
It is one of the best WMR headsets (higher FOV) (excluding the Samsung which is very expensive).

  Fyi they shipped with DHL and I think it was about 5 days postage.

    No worries. It's definitely a great price to take a dip into VR.
    I'm sure it could be resold on trademe for more if it isn't your thing.

  This doesn't come with motion controllers, does it?

  Doe anyone know if 3rd-party motion controllers are compatible?

  If so, can anyone recommend a good set?

  Thanks :)

    No motion controllers but any windows mixed reality controllers will work. The Dell Vrc100? Are the only controllers sold separately.
    You can also get vive and rift controllers to work I believe.

    As someone who already has a VR headset, it'd recommend you buy the lenovo with the controllers for ~ $170 USD. It's cheaper than buying them separately.

    Also motion controllers are really needed to get the best out of VR (immersion is ALOT better, and VR is all about immersion) unless you're planning to play mostly cockpit type games, like racing and flying space ships/planes/cars/mecha and the like.

        I have seen it that low at Amazon but shipping throws the price to about $400 NZ.

      Ahhhhhhh, why you do this to me??? At 200 bucks this is almost a "why the hell not!?" purchase- but your pointed and relevant crtiticism is holding me back D: Over 300 bucks is too much of an investment…

        That's how I felt when I bought it. $190 to experience VR is pretty good value. There are loads of games that use normal gaming controllers.
        You can filter V R + controller in Steam to check them all out.

        But I would always feel a bit incomplete :( Like playing Star Trek Bridge commander, or archery games and such…
