Smart of them to offer this for free to certain developers. Sony has had something similar to a VR device available (For around $900) for a while, but Oculus has been focused on a low price to bring VR to the masses. If the HTC Vive is too expensive it could push them out of a decent share of the market.

On the other hand, if they want these things to sell like there is no tomorrow and have developers jump on their bandwagon then they should offer a $100 or $200 discount coupon for anyone that purchases Half-Life 3.

Gabe pretty much confirmed no Half Life 3 in an interview recently, albeit indirectly. I don't remember the exact wording, but when asked about whether it was in development he basically said that Valve is now a service provider and has moved away from games development.
