@sketchy: Totally agree. I hadn't thought of that. The cost and reward of a 4k tv is ridiculous if you've looked into it (the content, the drop off distance for visible pixels, etc).
What gets me is that you're paying for an iteration of technology and quality, just like 3D tvs and RealD theaters. Just like an iphone 5 vs 6, 5.1 vs 7.1 vs atmos surround, new maps in Destiny. The marketing hype machines try to sell you that these are the greatest new things, So Fast, So Immersive, etc
Using the Vive isn't just a totally new technology, it's the first time in probably a decade that the quality of the device not only met, but continues to exceed the hype for me. And I've been totally jaded by marketing bullshit for so long, this came as a complete surprise to me.
I'm guessing that most people on GiantBomb, IGN, NeoGaf etc are totally jaded too, but for me, this is the most fucking exciting thing in video games I've seen since Mario 64 came out.
