I want one more and more. I’d be especially interested if does eventually release with Android, and presumably some access to the Android roster of apps.
Now there’s an interesting tie-in — the Oculus Rift and Android. Yeah, something like that would be pretty sweet.
Imagine shows or movies designed for this thing. It’d be a really fun and immersive experience.
The Rift by itself isn’t enough to sell me. Now give me the ability to move around in the game… then you might have something. Too bad this thing is so expensive, I really want to try it!

I’m really looking forward to this, just the cost of it is going to be super high
