With both Sony and Oculus refusing to give much in the way of a solid release window for their VR products, knowing companies as large as Valve and HTC have a product that will ship in calendar 2015 is great news. It also means you're going to need to own a very powerful PC to run VR games at that resolution and at that framerate. For now, we have a release window and some very promising specs on paper.
