CheeseMan42 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 The Vive Virtual Reality headset was announced last March and is the collaborative effort between HTC and Valve, and the price has just been announced. The Vive will release in 24 countries in April at an MSRP of $799, $200 more than the Oculus Rift. The price includes a pair of controllers that "you’ll need to power the Vive’s 360-degree tracking experience," which is being referred to as "the complete package." Worth noting is that the Oculus Rift won't have controllers available until the second half of the year and they aren't included in the initial $599 price tag, which means the two devices could be closer on price when that is taken into account. Vice President of VR at HTC Dan O'Brien described the price stating, "Because it is the price for the complete system. It is the price for a system with input and controllers. For 360-degree tracking at full room scale. With safety and chaperone. All the things that we’ve thought about to make it the best possible experience. That’s what that price is for. And we feel really good about it. It’s giving that user that one-time, out of box, it’s all there for you."
