I sat on the sidelines reading of SDE, lack of 4k per eye, and the usual gripes. I figured I'd wait for second gen. My interest was restricted to driving sims and maybe sit-down RPG. I had less than zero interest in room scale, thinking it was a gimmick.
The Rift Touch bundle dropped. I figured what the hell... I can resell for no loss if it's crap. I was late to the party so there was only one left locally. I picked it up.
Was it a PITA to get working. YES
Is SDE always noticable? YES
Does the resolution look like something from 2007? YES
Is it absolutely incredible and totally worth buying? YES!!!
Within two minutes of firing up Oculus First Contact I was 100% sold on VR & room scale. I was absolutely blown away by the end. I played Toy Box, Invasion, Ghost In the Shell, MISSION: ISS and I was in awe. I can't remember the last time I've been so mesmerized by a new technology.
I ordered parts for a dedicated VR build the next day.
TL;DR Just buy one.
