Great purchase for the inquisitive mind
The box arrived with no damage, and was well-taped. I opened said box and found a few "shipping envelopes" instead of normal packing, which was an interesting twist. The set came with a powerful cigarette smell that I wiped away with a damp cloth.
As to the hardware itself though, barring a few technical issues with Steam VR I still need to work out, I could not be happier with the purchase so far. The set has been quite well cared for, and works nearly perfectly in Windows Mixed Reality (rarely, a controller will drift, or the boundaries will shift slowly, but that's no fault of the seller and I'm happy to live with it).
A family member happened to come by as I finished setting up the Mixed reality set up and she had a lot of fun as she tried it (even though she had absolutely no idea what she was doing lol). I think this VR set will be a good way to connect with my family in this digital age. It beats a phone and everyone gets to share in a single digital realm (as opposed to one watching cooking videos, another watching a Lets Player and so on). On top of that, it's a fantastic way to show them my digital creations the way I see them. A 2D image is one thing, but seeing your digital creations in a "real" space you can physically interact with is another thing entirely, for instance. There may be a lot of opportunities for family interaction in the future.
So I am quite happy with the purchase. This Samsung HMD Odyssey is living up to its reviews and that's exactly what I wanted it for :D
