I know I'm probably in the minority, but I still don't see this VR thing really taking off. I enjoy driving games once in a while and this tech is very well suited to that but I just can't see myself spending hundreds for a peripheral I would likely only use for a couple of games. I haven't seen that 'killer' game that makes me conclude that I MUST play it in VR and is worth the investment.

As a PC gamer, I can justify paying a few hundred every few years on a GPU because that gives me lots of options for games and entertainment, but this? Not so much.

Just picked one up today - prime day $399 + $100 Amazon gift card. Now that's a deal.

"I haven't seen that 'killer' game..."
You've never played Robo Recall have you?
Try it, standing with a full play space. Then tell me your opinion. I believe you'll think it's worth MORE than they are charging. I know you've never experienced anything like this because it just didn't exist until recently.

I can't describe it for you, you just have to experience it for yourself.
Also, I just wanted to say I believe the currently value of the oculus is FAR more than they are charging. If anyone has been on the fence then I say do it now you won't regret your new amazing device.

(I only wish I had more time to play it.)
