Been seeing news updates constantly over the last few months, must say it is impressive and very tempted to purchase one when it's released

This really is a massive step forward in gaming if they really do nail it and it truely works, I wouldnt want a monitor :D playing counter strike would be the most amazing experience and dont get me started on Arma 3 ;)

The dev kits out there are pretty cool but the res is very low,  but there is also the motion sickness, as there is a bit of lag.

Once that is out I am with Khrispy with this for Arma!!!

$300 isn't too bad. If the finished one is that price or less it'd probably be worth picking up.

I would've loved to have shown off the DK2 at the October LAN. Will bring it along in March!
