Yeah my box is chicken little 'sky' is falling certified. Marketing gimmic .. probably sponsored (groan) pretty sure the NES 'power glove' was VR certified aswell..

Those are some serious system specs. With the cost of the hardware required for VR I hope the next gen cards are up to the task for a more reasonable price.

The dell/alienware PCs seem very overpriced and they don't even come with a titan graphics card. I can see the desperate greed of the DELLs and other OEMs putting a damper on VR while most savvy gamers will build their own rig at half the cost.
