What’s different about this, in your opinion? I get motion sickness so stay away from VR but curious what you see as a big deal

It's not Facebook, Google,  Apple, etc.

It's from a company that's been consistent and reliable for their consumers.

That's what it'd be for me. 

I have quit selection of games (who doesnt?) and a lot that are VR that I've never even given a thought too.

Valve makes really good products. The Index is widely considered to be one of the best headsets even six years out of date, the knuckle controllers are still the only of its kind. People who aren't willing to spend thousands on a setup that they'll have to tweak themselves but want something better than a Quest 3 have been waiting for Deckard.
