Recent news was #release about the Oculus Rift price, an expensive way to get into the #virtualreality game scene with the revealed $599 price. The HTC Vive, the one being developed by both HTC and Valve, is reportedly to cost $1,500 USD.
The report from Focus Taiwan, another site that sources the estimate from foreign brokerages. Needless to say, this is a rumor as of now.
The HTC Vive will go up for pre-order on February 29, 2016. It’s worth noting that we didn’t learn about the Oculus Rift’s official price until it was officially up for pre-order last week, so we might not hear the real word on HTC’s VR entry until the last day of February.
