I may just order the quest and hold off on the s until I see exactly what valve has cooking plus reviews. 135 fov and reverb visuals could reverse my decision quick with good reviews.

My god 135 FOV. If that is true and the headset turns on, I'm buying it.

Wow, Undead Citadel looks fantastic! This is going to be one hell of a year for VR.

What may early Index adopters be able to play on Steam - of great new titles coming out later this year - thus removing all Rift exclusives from the equation. I'm probably forgetting several titles, but if Index is superior to Rift-S, these would probably be the most interesting AA(A) Steam games - to me:

After Oculus dashed my hopes with the Rift S, I now have VR headset with an adjustable IPD to look forward too. Valve has always developed decent products, but Oculus developed better hardware until now. I understand there are always trade-offs, but Oculus really dropped the ball with their software IPD adjustment considering the relatively small sweetspot of VR lenses.

Unless Valve subsidize this headset, I'm guessing it will cost a lot more than the Rift. So they'll take the high-end of the market, while Oculus eat up the middle with the Quest and Rift-S.
It's HTC who are really screwed. They have no real technology of their own, so no way to compete with the company that produced their technology.
As for whether I'll buy one, not this year since I'm waiting to build a new PC first, but maybe next year if there's no Rift 2 by then.
