      Editing … You'd be getting a higher res screen (so no utter garbage display, as you put it), the best head tracking on any headset so far, as well as the ability to play more games (Oculus "exclusives" are locked only by DRM--something you've strongly opposed. Do you really want to support this terrible business practice?), but that DRM has been cracked for Vive compatibility, EZ. Vive has plenty of exclusives due to its superior hardware, games that the Rift couldn't possibly support.

      Editing … I just want the one vr headset with the bigger games library and which works in a very confined space (I.e. my tiny 25 square meters apartment)

      Editing … Vive would have the most games, but the games that are compatible with it (but not the Rift) would probably be roomscale. However, Hover Junkers, for example, doesn't require a large space at all. I think that Job Simulator (if that interests you) is pretty much just standing and turning. First-person shooters in the Rift would also control more traditionally than a Vive or PSVR shooter, where you've got the motion controls (and I don't think the Oculus Touch controllers will be as efficient at shooters as these others)

      Editing … I heard that early VR adopters are gonna get shafted big time when smaller, better versions of the tech come out in the next 1-2 years, because that's just how technology works bitches!

      Editing … It's pretty cool actually. So far there are a bunch of experiences like getting the opportunity to travel to the top of Mount Everest, hike through the grand Canyon and travel to the moon without ever leaving your couch, that have me tempted to get a vive or Oculus rift..

      Editing … Out of all the vr headsets out there, I'll probably end up owning a PSVR and none of the others, simply bc Sony's offering is the most user-friendly one.
