@mlnews at that price, I might actually consider one.

I was seriously considering it yesterday... but realized it would just be another gaming peripheral I don't have time for.

I was playing Subnautica last night, and I hit a big milestone -- completing the Cyclops submersible. As I was touring the interior, the game crashed. Last save was an hour prior. Soooo I went to bed. Tonight, I'll get back to where I was and I'm going to set up a 15 minute save timer. I wish that game had auto-save!

That's was my second excuse. I'm really waiting for the next generation, I think once you can go wireless, or damn near wireless, then this technology with have some serious teeth.

I wonder how much I'll care about wireless. I don't want to get up and move around, I want to sink into the couch and be immersed in the game world.

@scottalanmiller I want to do both. Imagine Chivalry in VR where you can swing your virtual maul around and not be bound by left/right/overhand/underhand attacks. or ninja/jedi fights.

That's part of it sure. I just don't want to throw up every time I put the headset on. Wired or wireless have nothing to do with it but I think that the next gen will be wireless regardless.
