    Hadn't thought about this. Could be a selling point for Steamboxes to console players who really want the VR experience? Could even have Steambox/Rift bundles.

    Must say I'm a little unimpressed, they have to have 3d support for 3d tv's, yes you've got head tracking in there but not doing anything with it, just the interface hovering in empty black space.
    They could of bound the cursor to a cross hair centre view point, so you look at the thing you want to select and hit a button on the pad.
    Likewise they should of extended the interface area to the left and right, so much space to play with filled with so much nothingness.
