Valves next AAA game will be a VR title. The vibes on that being correct is very high.
If this is a good price, might be my first VR Headset.

We know for sure Valve has at least 3 VR games in development.  Gabe made it pretty clear that they were going to be substantial titles.  

One of them is heavily rumored to be a Half Life game between 1 and 2.  

A Half Life game (even if its not 3) will tempt me enough to buy a VR Unit.

Yes, this is great. I hope others will follow suit on keeping the VR industries alive.

Whatever happened to the Steam Machines? Are they still a thing?

This is an interesting time to enter the VR market. I'm excited to see what they're offering that makes their hardware special. And, if there is nothing special, I hope we sometime learn why they decided to go with an also-ran product at this time.

I remember when my friend kept talking about how Valve is making games, it's just taking a long time. And that one of their games was Left 4 Dead 3 on the new Source engine with VR stuff too.

I shouldn't have trusted that rat bastard.

You should better wait until there's confirmation. We all know Valve has a problem with the number 3.

OT: I'm curious about what they'll come up with, but I'm not interested in VR. Yet.

I'm prepared to throw my money at the screen. Very intrigued on how deep the controls for their VR games will be.
Everyone who tried out Valve's VR techdemos know that there is a huge potential in their full VR games.

Well I want VR to succeed, but I wouldn't have much hope for Steam here.

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