I agree that the VR stuff costs a lot of money, but given a compelling game, and a compelling price, I'd play those games :-).  From last week's gamer cat comic.

I was not expecting a game like this from UbiSoft (and, what the heck? is this blog turning into star trek all the time?!).  In any case,  this game seems quite interesting in terms of what it does with virtual reality.  Also seeing Star Trek Alumni getting into the game and seeing their enthusiasm about this is pretty infectious ;-)I tend to be more of a solo player, even within MMOs
