Well that seals the Rift for my choice, only reason at this stage i would go with Vive is if their game selection becomes a major factor, but only time will tell on that one.
But that also suggests that Vive VR developers can expect that everyone has the hardware for "free movement", but Rift customers do not. Of course that's only an issue if there are initially titles that only work on one HMD and not the other.

Free roaming is more up to the type of game and the software Dev if they want to take advantage of it, Both HMD's allow standing and walking around. I'm not seeing walking around as a issue, both HMD's really are very similar and it will come down to the finer details about them and the range of games, will Devs code for both or pick a side is yet to be fully confirmed.

Where is this coming from? I've seen posters stating this throughout Reddit. If true, it seems like a terrible thing to brag about. I know HTC has said it's to have premium content at a slightly higher price point, but can you show me where they said it's being priced as a premium device?

If they're not bound to an exclusive agreement, devs will code for as many HMD manufacturers as possible. They will also make sure their content will support walking AND seated/controller locomotion. And hopefully, in the near future, we'll begin to see devs move toward a more universal API like OSVR.

I found this in regards to Vive price
http://www.pcgamer.com/vive-will-launch ... o-htc-rep/
I used to think the Vive would be priced around $600-800 but after reading that I would put my guess closer to $800 -1000 now
