I am really really really looking forward to get a valve index and would like to know your thoughts, it would be my very first vr headset (If we forget the chink phone vr adaptor googles).

I've read there are some issues with the included cables; like them being flimsy or the headset not working with 3rd party cables for some reason. Are these true? It would be a shame for a 1k buck device.

Also, are there rumors for any updates or new valve vr models in the making? I wouldn't like to buy one just for a new better model to be launched after a few months, I'd rather wait if that is the case.
