I was expecting someone to say like, Vive or something. The Quest is that good?
I see it being pitched as stand-alone. Does that mean you can't use it to do VR for PC games (e.g., Skyrim)?

It's not just about the raw specs, it's about the experience, and Oculus are doing everything right there. It's standalone; the tracking is worse (but not so bad as to be a problem) because there are no lighttowers; it uses optical recognition of your room instead.
This means you can go absolutely anywhere, put it on, and be playing a game within sixty seconds.
I've never had it fail on me, while I've lost count of the number of times I've had to reset the Vive. Getting that thing ready for play is more like five minutes.
Might not seem like a huge deal, but it makes a difference.
I also find that the curation matters. The Quest store doesn't seem to have bad games, just games that might not be to my personal taste. Steam... Not so much.
It bascially turns into a Rift.
