VR systems are not standalone - they need to be hooked up to some kind of processor. Right now we have 3 options:

PC - Best Experience, however Most $$$$ (HTC Vive and Oculus Rift)
Playstation 4 - Not as expensive as the pc ones but still costly experience not as "great" as on Pc.
Samsung phones and tablets/ Android and iOS - the Samsung is Cheaper and lighter
than the Pc counter parts but made for mobile, the Android and iOS is the Cheapest option but "worst experience".

Minimum PC requirements for Vive and Rift

Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 or better.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 or AMD FX 8350 or greater.

WonderWoman

(http://znews-photo-td.zadn.vn/w660/Uploaded/wopthuo/2015_04_03/vNLT46f.jpg)

Now Hear me out Wonder woman is the epitome of amazing, its in her name "Wonder" She can put a beat down on the same level as Superman, she is a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. She has an array of weapons to choose from. She is fast and durable. Wonder woman is synonymous with the one Dads have spent their life with raising children. The best gift you can give your children's father is being the person who he fell in love with 24/7, 365. You may not have super speed, flight or can crush a tank but he loves you for who you are. That being said one of those gifts would be pretty awesome too.

This rounds up our list, we wish you all a Happy Fathers Day and many more to come :).
