HTC Vive to cost $800

Sounds about right.

 

I am keeping my Rift order. People say the rift is more comfortable and I plan on sitting for 99% of my time ( Star Citizen , Project Cars , cockpit style games ) But way less than the 1000 - 1200 I had thought of it being.

 

oh yea and my room does not have near enough room for that feature

 

Glad these are coming out and the Vive is priced pretty reasonably but I can't even imagine dropping the $ on the hardware at the moment when I'll need to do a PC upgrade next year or the year after. Plus the main selling feature of the Vive seems to be the space orientation which is more at home at a company, university, and other areas. I don't think I would use any of the extra features.

 

I have heard really good things about the Vive

 

Honestly I am surprised that HTC is getting into that market. I know they make a good phone but it would be interesting to see if the make a good VR headset. On another note I have to agree with PersonalRiots statement

Just seems to experimental to me right now
