I'm still over here with my DK2. CV1 isn't supposed to ship until late July, early August. Should I get a Vive? Think I would get it before then?

You probably would, yeah. Looking at the order page now for the Vive orders will ship in June if ordered today. I ordered mine in March and got it this week.

I haven't used both, but went Vive for the option of the room-scale VR stuff, and because they're less proprietary and an incomplete product - Vive is on the SteamVR platform, no Oculus Rift store, Rift dismissing room-scale VR and the touch controllers not being ready, etc.

Your call, hard to say. Depends on your priorities.

If you are like me and on the waiting list forever then check out nowinstock.net. It gives you text and email alerts when items come in stock. I chose the Oculus obviously and Thursday morning at 3:30 they came in stock and now mine comes today. Was able to jump the line significantly which is good for me since work will be really busy by the time I would have gotten my Oculus and I wouldn't have time to play it.

Additionally iRacing support for the Oculus comes tomorrow, so I am really excited. It's really good timing.

At Best Buy this weekend pitching my wife on the TV I want to get and HDR in general (different BB than the one closer to home, had awful demo stations for HDR, really counterproductive trip

) there were at least 3 different areas people were demonstrating Oculus Rift.

FYI in case anyone's interested in trying one.

Hopefully a common thing with third parties, Ubisoft's VR releases today were announced as coming to Rift and Vive the same day as PSVR.

Hmm a Scorpio exclusive perhaps?. Bethesda did confirm it was going to be for Scorpio. Very interested in Microsoft's E3 conference this year.

They also said it's going to launch in 2017 and the game will be playable from start to finish in VR.

Got my VIVE finally today. Got everything setup and running then got some OpenVR addons that upped the visuals as well as added some advanced settings etc..(like a separate floor reset feature instead of having to do the whole room setup again)

Anyways turned on Brookhaven, 1st wave... **** pants and went to Graffiti game.. lol
So far I am really happy!

Really happy to see this, SteamVR releasing base stations this year. I wanted an extra set of lighthouses for my Vive, but they're pricey.

Just love the direction SteamVR in general is going, all the wireless addons for the Vive are coming out later this year, multiple competing options too.
