Here we go – diving into the messy magic of the HTC headset escapades. Picture this: 2021 hits, and bam! HTC throws the Vive Pro 2 into the spotlight. It’s like the bold kid on the block, still showing off what it’s got as the star of HTC’s VR lineup. Now, hold onto your hats, because it’s getting a price cut. Yep, that’s right.
So, there’s this Summer of Gaming Sale happening. And I’ll tell you, it’s staying live till June 30th. If you’re eyeing a last-gen VR headset—and why wouldn’t you be (they’re like vintage)—you’ve got some sweet deals on the horizon. We’re talking bundles, folks!
Get this: Vive Pro 2 Full Kit, usually $1,199, going for $799.99. It tosses in the headset, SteamVR 2.0 Base, and the wand controllers. Or just grab the headset itself for $499.99 if you’ve already got the other fancy bits.
Now imagine, dipping into a world of over 1,000 VR titles with two months on Viveport Infinity. It’s like a virtual candy store—yum?
Let’s hit the nitty-gritty for a sec: the Vive Pro 2 slams down a 2,448 × 2,448 per eye resolution. Sounds all techy and cool, right? It’s like having tiny movie screens strapped to your face! Oh, and those Fresnel lenses, chunky but classic—fresh out of a sci-fi flick. The headset’s big, sure, but it’s cozy, like a fluffy oversized sweater for your head. Weird analogy? Maybe.
Wait—backtrack—do I even need to mention the specs? Kinda have to… 90Hz or 120Hz on the refresh rate if you’re counting. And a bunch more techno-stuff that makes it sound powerful.
But let’s be real: it’s a bit of a chonker compared to Bigscreen Beyond 2, which is tiny and packs a punch at just over a grand. Yet, at $200 cheaper, it’s got decent credentials, including everything you need like stations and controllers. Well, unless your PC’s a relic from the Stone Age.
Oh, then there’s the Vive Focus Vision, latest and smug, rocking standalone and PC VR vibes—now that’s elegant, if you ask me. Till June 30th, you can snatch a couple of bundles that might leave you grinning with freebies like Arizona Sunshine 2. Although it kinda feels like a sneaky Oprah giveaway?
But hey, a twist: tariffs on China products made them hike the price by $49 after May 31st. A bit of a slap, right?
Europe folks? Not left out. Discounts over there too. Vive Pro 2 and even the Vive XR Elite are up for grabs at reduced rates. Feels like Christmas came early?
Anyway—oh, and there are trackers too. You track things. I mean, what’s not to love about chasing VR tails with a futuristic dongle in tow?
All in all, buy it if you want. Or don’t. Options, options. Tech toys galore!
