Hey all,

I just got an email coupon from Razer that would allow me to buy an HDK 2.0 for $200 USD. I already own an HDK 1.4. For those of you who have done the screen upgrade or have otherwise compared the 1.4 to 2.0, do you think it's worth $200 to upgrade?

Note that the coupon doesn't seem to suggest that I would have to turn in the 1.4 to get the deal - it seems to be a straight purchase of the 2.0 at $200. So, I could sell the 1.4 or give it to a friend. If I could get even $100 for the 1.4, that would effectively bring the upgrade cost down to just $100.

My reservations would be that Microsoft's headsets seem to be just around the corner, and so do Valve's new controllers and lighthouses, which would be incompatible with the HDK's tracking system even if purchased separately.

I'm not concerned about game compatibility in the future given OSVR's supposed involvement with the Khronos Group, I'm just unsure if it's worth dropping money on the HDK 2.0 when it might be better to just keep saving for a room-scale VR system in the future.

edit: My desktop PC also only has a GTX 970, which I know is the "minimum" for VR at this resolution. If anyone would like to offer their experience with an HDK 2.0 and this particular GPU, even if they didn't upgrade from a 1.4, that would also be appreciated!
