I'd say signs point to yes. Jury probably out until Sony VR is released but I really doubt it is going to crash and burn.

Put my name on the list. The specs are the same as the Vive for 400 bucks.

I like the idea, but would have liked to see what cabling looks like, and how do you get controllers, how is it tracked (camera, lighthouses, etc) ?
LOVE the idea of it being user upgradable as higher resolution solutions become available. Was my first thought once the honeymoon period wore off.

Well I'm glad I found out about the super sampling multiplier (Super Sampling Screenshot Steam Overlay comparison : Vive) as it seems to be the only thing that's made my Vive's screen clear.
I'm running it at 1.6 now with a 1080GTX and it's like night and day.

Yes, but in many ways it doesn't matter whether the first generation is successful. The concept of VR is well proven and will be successful even if the first gen falls on itself. Beyond that, VR is limited by core technologies that will be developed no matter what for mobile devices.
VIVE, PSVR, Oculus knocking it out of the park speeds this along a bit because they're able to dump money into taking core technology and doing everything they can with it by developing supporting tech (ex: head tracking, optics, the SDK, game support etc).
VR is very cool now, will be incredible soon (2-3 years) and will be massive later (5-8 years).

I set mine to 1.7 last night and just used it briefly before going to bed, but I didn't notice any real stutter/slowdown on my EVGA SC 1080. People in the Reddit thread were talking about setting it as high as 2.5, but that seems like itd only work for simple games.
Gonna try setting it up to 2.0 tonight and then probably work my way back down.

I have a 980ti. Will see how high I can get it without issue. What's the most intensive app/game to test it with, I wonder?

I tried 1.2-1.5 and it still seemed quasi blurry, and 1.6 was the sweet spot for me when I stopped noticing it at all. After reading how it worked I didn't see much use in increasing it further. For anyone interested there is an internal multiplier 1.4 that you're multiplying by. So 1.6 would be really 1.6*1.4, I've included a chart I've stolen below to show how the multiplier scales to the super sample resolution.
1.0 is 3024 x 1680
1.4 is 4234 x 2352
1.5 is 4536 x 2520
2.0 is 6048 x 3360
2.5 is 7560 x 4200
3.0 is 9072 x 5040

Why the fuck can't the game industry get on the remake bandwagon like fucking Hollywood has? XvTie would be amazing in VR,

I appreciate you early adopters driving the price down and the quality up for future VR hardware.
Seconding this. I'm really looking forward to seeing the improvements over the next few years.

PSVR games looking kinda pricey, hope a number of the ~50 titles for launch are low cost PSN releases.
$20 for a 1 hour Batman game (if initial news of duration was correct) and $50 for Rigs seems like a bit much. Retail release/console tax I suppose?
By comparison, there are 0 titles for the Vive on Steam, of the 322 compatible, that are above $39.
