Brand new Oculus right now is $800 (CAD)+ tax, + shipping... basically out of the question for me. 

 

However, I have several other options. People are selling their DK2 kits in the $200-250 range as well as CV1 (consumer version 1's) in the $600 range (no tax and no shipping). 

 

So my question to you, Oculus users, is which is worth it and why? I would be using this purely for racing sim games (with a wheel and full setup) ONLY. I don't care about hand controllers or other games. I will only be using this with Project Cars etc. That's it. I do A LOT of league racing and take it very seriously, that's why I'm looking into this. 

 

Thoughts? Go the cheap route with a DK2 or invest more in the CV1 for better future compatibility? 

 

Thanks in advance. :)

I've got a DK2. When I first put it on, I was shocked at how low the resolution was. After playing minecraft for an hour, I got used to it. I got mine for 150, see if you can talk the owner down. You can always sell the DK2 again if it doesn't work out
