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.

My DK1 is sitting on top of my HD-DVD player. Guess which one I still use... Also I should have said 'hope' not 'faith' as well. ;)

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 had such high hopes for mini disc but digital storage is so much nicer.

I loved my Sony Minidisc player. Especially loved the editing ability and the little discs. Was way better than CD but yeah mp3 kinda rendered it pointless.
