Sorry @sharpfish - but the LG PC (highend) headset will not be for consumer deployment. They may change their mind after 19' but may not be worth getting your hopes up.

....I don't think I can hold out til 2019 for a rift 2, I'll be looking at LG's new one, and whatever comes next year, but it can't just be the HMD/tech, it has to have some decent backing (so basically Steam VR or Facebook are the only choices right now) and needs to be ergonomically sound.

AMD new cards are not looking very good when it comes to pushing new performance numbers either this year. Granted they are selling 1080 and Ti versions for less that will help push getting more customers into the hardware they need to run VR, but for a better higher end VR headset - it's not looking promising this year. Next few years will give a better outcome for sure, but agree I don't really wanna wait that long either to get a headset really.

It's kind of nuts to me that you guys are saying you can't wait 2 years for a better headset...2 years will fly by. How often do you upgrade your phones? I'm definitely a tech enthusiast, but I'll wait 2 years to upgrade my phone and am not disappointed. The jump between CV1 and 2 will likely be great, however it won't seem worth it at all if you've spent tons of money in the interim upgrading to every new headset released. Just compare it to other new tech iterations - I believe they said that it would fall somewhere between console and mobile phone refreshes, and that sounds just perfect to me.

Well thing is, those god rays you mention can mostly only be seen with things like white text on a black background (the kind used in the opening credits). Meaning once the game launches those god rays are no longer perceivable, so you don't get to hate them at all.

The Rift has god rays and I'd hate them just and much if not more than the rings.
