Not sure if I would spend that much money without testing it myself. I haven't see a place that sells them in SA, so will have to order from over seas.
Takealot.co.za (The old take2.co.za) has a item request feature, which includes imports.
Thus far, I am very happy with their pricing around this feature as well.
Might take a couple of days for them to properly source and price it, but all said and done, excellent overall service.
I would understand the need for testing, but in this case you would be shit out of luck.
Nowhere in SA will you find a demo setup of this, or the Sony headgear for that matter, for you to "test".
Importing goods is what it is. You just have to be a little more careful and do some deeper research.
On this particular products, I have actually done exactly that.
It is an excellent product.
The only part of it that might "fail" you, is false expectations and gimmick value. There have been millions of awesome devices on the market in the history of computing. All of them excellent products. But a very large portion of those items are brought by people who stop using them after a week.
These headsets, glasses, and alike products very easily fall into that category of products.
All said though - the Wrap 1200VR is an excellent product. Buy it for the right reasons, and you will not be disappointed.
The Sony headgear, with almost identical specs, should be available worldwide some time early 2012, will carry the same sort of pricetag, and be more bulkier to use...
