With shutter glasses you will very likely have ghosting (where the left eye sees a little bit of the right eyes image in the left eyes image, and vice versa), I would think that you would get no ghosting with the HMD, but the problem then becomes field of view, if you like sitting close to your monitor to get that wider field of view, you will not get that same immersive feel with an HMD which most are 36-41 degree (diagonal not horizontal!), a game like quake3 sets itself to something like 90 or so degrees horizontal (try setting quake3 to something like 36 degrees, its like walking with a card board box around your head, yuck).

I myself am waiting for the HMDs that will be high resolution AND a wide FOV, an adjustible field of view would be cool as well (in the form of an attachment would be satisfactory), then you could switch between immersive and theatre. Until that time, I think I will wait it off, besides they are a larger investment to make then shutter glasses. And finally but on the later end of my list is head tracking, which I believe works for certain movement of the head (like twisting), but not all movements accurately enough to feel good, at least that I am aware of, the only accurate tracking I know of is magnetic, tilt/acceleration sensors are terrible in my experience although supposedly some company has some patents on an improved version of it.
