Anyway, looking forward to more reports from early adopters, such as this one: http://widescreengamingforum.com/for...-t1-hmd-head-m

I think motion sickness will be problem for some users with or without headtracking. It's issue for sure if headtracking is not up the task and there is no easy and cost effective solution to do 1:1 tracking without lag and drift +other issues. So to me it's good thing not to have tracking built in, price would have been much higher or it would have been useless at this price...
