I'd like to see how it handles first, as well as price point and the 3 VR games Valve has going for it.

I think the games and the headset will be great.  Half Life VR is the only one that's rumored so far.  

I'm just worried about the price.  The rumored specs are closest to a $1200 headset. (On the bright side that headset is very much overpriced...).  I'm thinking in the area of $400-800 is most realistic.  Probably $600 though.  

Knuckle controllers included?, because I trust what I've seen of them so far and I'd say those controllers are well worth their asking price. The headset is the iffy part, as well as the games.

What I'm looking for in VR is some polish and a stable library, but seeing as how some VR games are locked to either certain headsets or consoles, my interest is lopsided to "not at this time". I want to hope that in a few more years, we don't see fully splintered VR libraries.
