I'm thinking about getting one, something to help get me moving and working out more. A couple of questions:
1. Is there any games that make for a good workout that you can recommend?
2. Is there any significant benefit for getting the 256GB over the 128? Has anyone seen their storage pushing the limit of the less expensive version?

The supernatural app is great but it has an $18/month cost.
After that some good apps are, Thrill of the Fight and Beat Saber (beat saber is more of a workout at higher levels).
There's also FitXR but it seems to be a knockoff version of supernatural. Supernatural has a huge selection of songs from legitimate artists across genres/eras while FitXR has imitation songs of popular tracks. Supernatural also has a lot of different real world environments while Supernatural only has 3.

I have the 128gb, but I've only had it a few weeks.

Just bought one today.
Not sure about exercise games yet. Although I walked into my 16 y/o sons room this evening and he had stripped down to his undies because he was sweating so much playing Gorilla Tag. So you can definitely work up a sweat without exercise specific games.
If you want to pay the extra hundred for more GB then go ahead but I don't think you need it. Most games are 3-7 GB. You can always delete some and redownload later.

I just played for the first time. I can't imagine how many calories you burn with actual exercise type games because I was seating and my heart was racing just playing the Star Wars Vader game, especially the Dojo training. I downloaded The Thrill of the Fight because it's supposed to be a good boxing workout. Only $10 too. Haven't played yet. I can't imagine what the future holds for VR because I was blown away the first time playing.

This is the kind of thing I'm hoping for. Hard to get out at times, so it'd be nice to be able to get some done at home.

256GB isn't worth the difference. Pistol Whip is a great workout, in addition to the ones already mentioned.

BoxVR is good, but it's pretty much a couple of very short, light exercises or else single routines which go from basic to mastery level complex within minutes. There's very few routines which stick to the newb or middle ground areas so you either stick to the basics or you do only the first few minutes of anything else.

Onward is a fun military 5v5 multiplayer sim (and other modes)

Nah bruh.
VR porn, for sure.

LOL. VR porn? I may have to check that out myself.
Seriously though. The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners is awesome. Haven't gotten too far but there seems to be a lot to do with gathering, crafting, all kinds of different weapons, upgrades. The thing that blew me away is your arms. You look down and you have sleeves rolled up, hands are dirty and get bloody when you kill walkers. Having to bandage your arms, eating and drinking. I put a can up to for my character to drink and I catch myself actually opening my mouth like I'm drinking. Even though the characters and environment are cartoons, like the Tell Tell TWD series, it feels real. Plus it's set in New Orleans.

Pro-tip: Try playing it outside, the natural ambiance adds an extra level of realism.
Also, sneaking into safe-houses and jacking all their shite is a fun rush.

Combining these two makes for an... interesting take on the game

This game would be amazing in a basketball gym or a large grass field. You could basically walk the entire maps without using the controllers for walking.
