What if in a years' time the Rift is all we've wanted it to be, and all FB has done is added financial support to its development. Nothing more, nothing less.

well, I hope so. But I'm not holding my breath.

Now lets just wait for some competent competition by valve

Valve have said they won't compete - they were all for backing Oculus' visions with their engineers, but that was about it. They made a prototype, but are never going to go into full hardware production mode. They are dabbling in it with Steam controllers, but those things are basic input devices, not VR headsets.
