That #### is awesome. I can't imagine how good the real deal is since my Galaxy S4 is pretty out dated. A real OLED screen and proper head tracking must be insane.
Is Xbox getting a VR head set? If not it looks like I'm buying a Playstation cause there is no way I'm missing out on this.

Doesn't look good:

For those hoping for an Xbox One VR headset to launch, it appears Microsoft might be about to disappoint you.
The company already have their own standalone Augmented Reality device, The Hololens in the works and it seems they aren’t too bothered about entering the already crowded VR market.
"Would we ever do our own VR device? We could, if we thought we had something unique to add," Phil Spencer told Cnet.
"I don't think the unique add is to plug into the Xbox One console. That's not the magic unlock to me.

All I can think about lately is how Sony is going to have to bring back the Sharpshooter. I'm not entirely sure why the original wouldn't work, but this article explains that they've demo'd it at a convention using a stripped down version. For those unaware, the Sharpshooter was a Playstation Move peripheral that held the Move controller in the barrel of a plastic assault rifle.
I've been watching Vive videos of shooting ranges – and while they all look awesome – it looks like holding something other than the controllers might take it up a notch.
Here's the article on the modified Sharpshooter -
