That's really amazing, they're using the light detectors (can't remember what they're called) instead of IR like the Oculus. Brilliant.

I wonder how much it will cost, I say it's gonna cost a lot of money for this.
I probably won't get it because I like to just play with a controller, and TV screen.

ImHut People say without the controller it won't feel like gaming, tell that to PC players..

A PC gamers controller, is the keyboard and mouse.

I honestly don't want virtual reality. I love having just the controller and doing everything by hand.
