Whoa—okay, so HTC’s been rolling with their Vive Pro 2 since 2021—feels like ages ago, right? Suddenly, bam! They’ve dropped the prices big time. Seriously, it’s their Summer of Gaming Sale, happening till June 30th. Perfect if you’re hunting for a solid, albeit kinda nostalgic, VR headset. They’ve got deals like a full kit bundle and just the headset too.
So, here’s the nitty-gritty:
-
Vive Pro 2 Full Kit: $1,199 now sliced down to $799.99! Comes with everything: the headset, SteamVR 2.0 Base Station, and those wand controllers.
- Vive Pro 2 Headset: Was $699, now $499.99. Just the headset—no extras.
They’re throwing in a couple of months of Viveport Infinity too. That’s like a ticket to binge-play over 1,000 VR titles. Pretty sweet, huh?
About those specs—don’t zone out on me here, this is cool stuff:
- Resolution’s like, 2,448 × 2,448 (per eye, mind you), and refresh rates at 90Hz and 120Hz.
- Lenses are Fresnel, but two parts. IPD adjustments and whatnot too.
- But hey, it’s got this thick, chunky feel. Maybe bulky’s the word? Not like that slim Bigscreen Beyond 2 dude, though that one’s pricier. Decisions, decisions.
Anyway, back to the point—especially since I kind of drifted there—HTC also has this whole Vive Focus Vision thing going on. Launched late 2024, it’s for those who want to dip into VR and mixed reality sans wires. The future’s wild. Here’s what’s on deck till June 30th:
-
Vive Focus Vision – PC VR Kit: $1,149. Gets you the headset, controllers, Wired Streaming Kit, and games like Metro Awakening.
- Vive Focus Vision: $1,049, same game bundle. Wait—wasn’t it cheaper before? Yeah, tariffs bit its price, pushing it up by $49 after May 31st. Ouch for the wallet.
Flipping over the pond, they’ve got sales in Europe and the UK too. Headsets, trackers, controllers; you name it. With prices in euros and pounds:
- Vive Pro 2 Full Kit: €839/£699—same full package as stateside.
- Vive XR Elite: Whether just the headset or with all the jazz like trackers and controllers, they’ve mixed things up.
Honestly, it might be old tech by now, but with some clever pricing, it’s still kind of tempting. Especially with the gaming lineup they’re offering. I mean, for anyone with a VR-ready PC, it’s worth considering. But hey, that’s just my rambling. Maybe this deal’s for you, maybe not. Up to you to dive in, or whatever.
