I'd rather the first main piece of VR technology have high standards and a high cost. Overtime as the technology becomes cheaper, companies will strive to match the better piece of tech for lower prices. This just sets a high standard for the equipment used in VR.

Whether Facebook wins the VR war or not you will be kicking yourself either way for supporting them.

Just sold my DK2 for a decent profit. Definitely waiting for Vive. As @The_Dude said, the companies involved give me hope it will be worth the wait. The games support alone should make it the clear winner, although I am sure similar things were said about Betamax, Minidisc and HDDVD. I guess time will tell.

Smart move - I also sold my DK2 for a nice profit on ebay (winning bid was $590). While I do believe the Vive will be a better VR experience, I think the CV1 will be 'good enough' for right now, so I pre-ordered one within minutes of the offering.
I will order the Vive and MS Hololens when they are available too, and probably sell which ever HMD doesn't get used. Although I could see myself owning all three and using them in games/applications that cater to their individual strengths.

I'd want to wait for a camera. Combine a headset with the AR type applications M$ is coming with could be a lot of fun.
If the shit was wireless you could basically emulate a silent hill type game in your own home using your own home. Just think of the hours of fun crying in your closet while unknown terrors scream into the headset.
