You sound like you don't know anything about the tech or what's good. You literally tried it for 20 minutes.

Could be. I'm old enough now that I tend to be more sceptical of new stuff. As in just because it's new and kind of cool I'm not all in any more. Though I've been sceptical to VR for the last 20 years.
Holodeck VR would be cool. Or again, AR where the goggles are light weight and you can actually move around an environment.
But VR in the living room? I don't see that taking off outside of enthusiasts.
It's like 3D movies. Nobody cared. Most people I know preferred non-3D over having to wear anything on their face. And those glasses were just light plastic for the most part.
You'd also need to be able to get the sound through external speakers for social gaming/movie watching. No one wants to sit on the couch with friends and family and have to wear headphones and possibly use voice chat with someone right next to you.
