Take a look at your VR headset options

If you have been paying any attention to GDC, you'll have heard a lot of talk on virtual reality headsets, there are headsets in development from heavy-hitters like Sony, Microsoft, Valve and Razer (lest we forget the Facebook one too). It's hard to keep your chickens in a row when there's so much going on.

In light of that, we thought to share a list of the platform gaming oriented VR headsets equipped with specs (if available), prices (if available) and pictures (always available).

Without further ado, here's what we know:
