Okay, so picture this: It’s 2021, and HTC’s all about the Vive Pro 2. This thing’s kinda like their main gig in the VR space, right? Fast forward to now, and boom—it’s cheaper than a waffle maker on Black Friday. The catch? You gotta hurry; it’s a limited-time offer.
HTC flips the switch on their Summer of Gaming Sale. It’s already in motion and keeps going till June 30th. Lots of goodies for anyone hunting down a solid but, let’s be honest, last-gen VR headset. They’ve got a bundle deal with the headset, base stations, and controllers. Or just the headset if that’s more your style.
So, here’s the lowdown:
– Vive Pro 2 Full Kit was a wallet-busting $1,199 but now it’s $799.99. Comes with everything you need to dive into VR like a pro.
– Just the Vive Pro 2 Headset itself dropped from $699 to $499.99.
Bonus! Both options throw in two months of Viveport Infinity, which is like a candy store for VR games—over 1,000 titles ready to roll.
About those specs, if you’re into that techy jazz:
– Eye-popping resolution and all the usual tweaks like IPD and eye relief.
– Refresh rates to make your eyeballs happy—90Hz or 120Hz.
– The kit even includes those iconic Vive wand controllers. Classic!
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. It’s a bit on the chunky side. The Fresnel lenses and its heft make it feel a bit dated next to newcomers like Bigscreen Beyond 2. That one’s sleek but costs more. Choices!
Here’s the kicker: if your PC’s got the muscle, $800 for the Full Kit isn’t all shabby. You’ll be dancing around in VR like a champ.
Meanwhile, HTC’s also playing the field with newer stuff like the Vive Focus Vision, which popped up in 2024. This thing does mixed reality and wireless streaming. During the sale? Two bundles up for grabs with extra games thrown in:
– PC VR Kit with a bunch of extras and games.
– The basic Vive Focus Vision bundle also includes some game freebies.
What’s wild? The Focus Vision costs more now due to trade tariffs. Inflation strikes again, am I right? They kept it at launch price till May 31st, but hey, tariffs are real.
And don’t forget, if you’re across the pond in Europe or the UK, there are deals there too. Different bundles with sweet price cuts on various accessories. Tempting, isn’t it?
Honestly, it’s tech. It’s deals. It’s a bit of chaos wrapped in a virtual bow. But, hey, if you’ve been eyeing a VR setup, maybe now’s your moment. Or maybe you’ll wait. Ah, decisions.
