So, I don't have any VR...I haven't even tried any. I have been waiting and waiting to get one. I was ready to jump and buy the Rift back in March, because I kept hearing so many good things about Elite's feeling with it.
"Hold on for few months!" They said. "The Oculus Rift will be launching before Christmas!" They said.
And here we are again, in a position of not knowing when they are releasing the darn thing. We've been waiting for years now of push backs...
Then the VIVE comes along...supposedly better and in a more completed state, but hey! Is not available either, and we don't even know yet when it will be! Supposedly before the CV1.
But I'm a little too old to believe anything the marketers say, specially after hearing the "it's almost done!" way too many times by now.
I want to experience Elite, just like you guys that talk about so much on how the stations look, and the ships, and the planets and the rings and "ohh, don't miss the combat zone!" -while I watch with hate and envy from afar with my money on hand- because I want to jump in the VR wagon as well!
So, I turn to you, experts of the VR, with your experience in the matter, and if you were in my shoes, what the heck would you do if you didn't have your cool VR right now?
or, simply do nothing at the moment because Elite is a mess right now with the Oculus anyways and who knows what's to happen with the Vive???
Confused and frustrated here!!! Vote, comment and help me to make a decision please!!
Thanks!!

p.s. It wouldn't come as a surprise if you find the most ignorant statement in some of the above lines. After all, I am widely illiterate on VR, computers, and all things related. I'm just a layman consumer. I like to flight my ship and I was told not to update Windows 10. That's as much technology I handle for Elite. I leave it at that and be happy and contempt about it! So, no, didn't read that article on Wired that says <latest development here>. Thanks!

- Would you buy the DK2 -because better to have something now instead of waiting for the uncertain future?
- Would you hold for Vive because is going to be better than the Rift or - at least supposedly earlier?
- Would you hold for the CV1 because is the best of both choices??
