Are you going to buy an oculus? ;-)
VR is the future, but just, if there are enough games supporting it and if it gets cheaper. So yes, I think it's worth, if the game is good.
Edit: ChromaGun looks nice -> wishlisted ;)

VR as a concept? Sure. But VR as a box you clamp to your head?

I disagree.
The games where you need to physically walk around, yes, those will probably be a gimmick, with a limited appeal. But, to sit back with a controller, and have the entire world wrapped around you, rather than having to look into a computer screen - that I believe there will be a big market for.
I'm talking about games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim, which are all about exploration, horror games like Alien Isolation and Amnesia, and story-rich FPS like Bioshock. (or even less story-rich ones like Call of Duty).
For those games, the extra immersion will absolutely be worth it.

Ok it's your opinion and I respect it. Anyway I still thinking VR will finish like Move and Kinnect. I don't need that and I will definitelly not buy it. A lot of people have Kinnect and Move because when that stuff go in where was a big market too for it. But where is Kinnect and Move now? You can say "Xbox, show me TV program"? Wow, awesome :D I think there will be hype in VR for entrance, but after few years I just think it will die like previous stuff like VR. Then it maybe will be back to try again for 10 years. When people will forgot how crap was that.

the difference is that kinnect and move altered the way you play games - you had to physically move (e.g. swinging your arms, jumping, dancing).
VR can alter the way you play games, which, I agree, is mostly a gimmick that few people will really care for. The "innovative gameplay" or whatever they're touting, which involves walking, swaying back and forth, etc., probably won't take off.
But, separately and distinctly, carries the function of being an AV device. Everyone uses monitors, most people use speakers or headphones, and plenty of people prefer larger monitors and would welcome the wrap-around visuals.
I see it having value as basically a better monitor with attached headphones, as plenty of people will enjoy the enhanced visuals. That, I believe, has a lot of potential.

Nope definitely not. Still seems like a pointless idea to me and I still think it will die out again soon enough.

I'll probably go for VR when there will be mature products, more efficient, less expensive, and widely supported in gaming industry. Seeing how Oculus creator screwed his backers, I'll try to use something else, if possible depending on the aforementioned criterias.

Not for a while. I generally don't like being a gen 1 adopter. In a couple years there will be a new model and a lower price and hopefully a stronger market. Right now I'm leaning towards the Vive but hey, lets see where things stand in two or three years.

I think it has a long way to go before I spend $800+ on it(not to mention having a good enough computer to run it). Even then I can't see myself paying that much for another gaming gimmick. Kinect and Go are terrible and while VR is completely different I'm going to have to see some badass games being made in the next 2-3 years to even consider it.

Until it something that is not strapped to my face NO!

Hi guys,
we have invested a lot of time and made our ChromaGun VR ready!

Are you guys going to buy an Oculus or Vive?
Do you think it's worth the effort to add VR support?
PS: Here's a GTA V gift for your help! ;-)
