Star Strek: Bridge Crew for HTC Vive (Online Game Code)

Pros: The game was deciding factor to purchase HTC Vive

Cons: I would not have made this purchase if I knew game came with, in my opinion, virus (DRM) software that is not mentioned but is forced upon you if you wish to actually play the game. HTC Vive was bad enough in not loading drivers until you give them your personal information. That was uncalled for! Steam I understand, but as far as I'm concerned, Vive and Ubisoft are strong arm thugs in this purchase. Would recommend you avoid offer if, like me, you value privacy and feel more junk software on your PC makes it less stable.

You must have onine connection to install hardware drivers. WHY?

Pros: Once you gave in to demands to provide your personal info, it worked. Although each time starting up afterwards there is an error that it can't connect to the HTC mother ship.

Cons: There is zero reason for this online requirement for drivers. Shame on HTC for making that a requirement. NOTE: Installing drivers has nothing to do with Steam verifying your games.

You must void the warranty if you want to change harddrive

Pros: Appeared like a nicely built laptop from the write up. Not some proprietary no serviceable parts inside device.

Cons: I purchased with the intention of changing hard drive before powering it up. Changing hard drive should not be against warranty on a computer. Now I have to void my warranty on a brand new laptop just to do so. Would not have purchased and paid shipping had I known. This isn't a Microsoft XBOX, its a bloody laptop.

Don't rely on this device

Pros: Easy to setup and while it works, it works well.

Cons: It will fail on you. I purchased device couple months ago to use on business trip. Installed and used the device for 3 days. Dead. Plug it into any USB port and windows reports USB device has malfunctioned. I'd have been better off to try another device.
