I've got one of the first gen ones
It's "okay". I've played with the second gen one it's "A bit better". You'll get a bit of motion sickness if you're using modded games like Skyrim etc and there are a few decent things out there, but it's definitely not the finished article yet.
Having played Valkyrie with the full HD version recently at a show, they are really close to getting it perfect ... but I can say they're at last a year away from getting that version to market.
You'll also need a rocking graphics card with good 3d support (obviously), 3/4 GB of RAM and that's going to set you back at least £250+ as a minimum too.

Maxed out my ram to 16gb when it was cheap
Got a GTX580 starting to age but overclocked stable to 920ghz still plays most things well.
When you say "full HD version" is that Dev kit 2 or something else?

I assume he means the dev 2 at 1080
I almost clicked 'buy' the other day too, just from Elite: Dangerous reviews. This one in particular, even though it's the lower def dev kit, really brought home to me why I need one in my life, like, yesterday. www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/12/20/elite-dangerous-oculus-rift/
