Embattled Former

Sony's nearly six-year-old PSVR headset is still the only head-mounted display for gaming consoles, and it still offers a surprisingly immersive experience. But with the expected to arrive later this year, anyone who has a PS5 should wait for what should be far superior hardware and a new game library to go with it. The PS5 works with , but it's clunky and requires a breakout box full of wires to connect. It also needs outdated PlayStation Move controllers for some games, or your old PS4 controllers and camera, plus a camera adapter, to work.

The Quest 2 used to be $299, but a surprise to $400 (or $500 for the version with more storage) has made Meta's nearly two-year-old self-contained VR headset even more expensive. But even with the increased price, the Quest 2 remains the best and most versatile VR headset of the moment. It's also, considering it requires no gaming console, phone or PC, the most affordable.

Meta/Facebook is expected to have a new later this year, but its face tracking and better displays could add up to a $1000 price. The Quest 2 remains the recommended pick until a Quest 3 arrives, which may not happen until 2023.

The base model's 128GB of storage is plenty for storing dozens of games and apps, although keep in mind there's no way to add more storage after purchase. Meta's also allowing accounts to bypass Facebook logins, although a new Meta account will still be required.

We've reviewed nearly every streaming device and major smart TV system on the market today, including Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV. These add-on streaming devices often have simpler remotes, more apps, better search and more frequent updates than the smarts built into your TV set, especially older models.

Sure, it's an expensive media streamer at $150 -- and that's before adding a game controller -- but if you want a Jack-of-all-trades video streaming player, the Shield is it. In addition to a streaming media player with 4K streaming and HDR, it offers a robust library of games, both console-level and Android, Steam Link, built-in Google Assistant complete with  control, , HDHomeRun integration and much more.

Augmented- and mixed-reality headsets aren't ready for everyday use yet, although the next generation of VR headsets could start blending AR into the mix using passthrough cameras. We update this best VR headset list periodically, but note that prices are subject to change.

It depends, really, on whether you're connecting to a PC or not... and whether you plan to do work with it. There are plenty of Windows-compatible headsets, but they vary in display resolution. Higher is better, and so is a larger field of view. Headsets can refresh at up to 120Hz now, and the faster they can refresh, the more natural and smooth VR movement feels. Most PC VR headsets have similar controller designs, and can bridge to work tools and apps. For portability or stand-alone comfort, the Quest 2 doesn't have any competition right now. For gamers with a game console, the PlayStation VR is the only option, but you'll probably want to wait for the PSVR 2 if you have a PS5. Also, consider the app libraries: the Quest has a lot of exclusive games, Windows-connected headsets have lots of compatibility with work apps and experimental tools, and Sony's PlayStation library has unique VR games, too.

Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite




Best budget streamer













Let's get this out of the way first: If you prefer the simplicity of Roku's app-based menus, you might like the better. But the Lite trounces the Express in features-for-the-money. This Fire TV remote control device's biggest advantage is a remote with built-in voice search and http://lovelyhollows.wiki/index.php/a_punter_who_won_Close_to_20_000_after_playing_the_pokies_has_splurged_Her_money_on_a_brand_new_car control (the cheapest Roku with a voice remote is the Express 4K Plus) thanks to Alexa. The Fire Stick's remote also doesn't need line of sight to work. If you're looking for a cheaper gift, the Lite is your best streaming device bet.
