GameCookerUSRocksVR Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 What do you think of the new HMD coming? Anyone know the price? Personally, I can't wait for it. Does anyone know when we can pre-order it? Or even request a press review prototype. I want mine asap.
boombome Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 The pro looks amazing, and i cant wait either. i do hope that there might be an "upgrade" option for those of us with a vive already.
Se7en Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I had a look and it looks impressive. I will put it on order the second i can preorder it. unless those nice people at HTC want to donate one to me.
SourceOG Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I got the vive for last christmas and now a new one coming out sigh... what to do with the current one now?
Wasted Potential Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I really like the new Vive Pro but I'm on the fence as for purchasing. I usually do every other update on things, but this is a little more complicated as I do understand it will be long while for the next gen Vive after this and at that point, a new computer would be needed most likely. So updating now is being seriously considered. So like most people, I guess it really depends on the price. If it's cheap enough, I'll get it. If it is more on the expensive side, I may just wait and see if they release a Knuckles, Tracker 2.0, VivePro kit in the future, buy that, and then just donate my old Vive to a family member.
CaTaPulT Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 From reading a few news articles from people at CES, the new Vive Pro will be available for purchase without base stations or controllers, just the headset, from the sounds of what I read, almost sounds like you'll have to prove you already have the Vive to buy the headset alone. My guess this thing will not be cheap. As for the Knuckle controllers, these are not a product of HTC but Valve, unless they give the manufacturing rights to HTC and permission to bundle them with the Vive and Vive Pro then you may have to purchase them from Valve.

Bighouse Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I hope they release the pricing soon. I am looking to purchase 25 units sometime this year and if the price works for me, I’d much rather have the Vive Pro than the original.
Se7en Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 sell to your friend and then you always have someone to play a multiplayer game with you.
ymo1965 Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 Have a look at this. Might be nothing to it but if its true then I'm well happy. https://medium.com/silicon-valley-global-news/htc-vive-pro-price-rumor-9e311ee6c5a5 I'm in the uk, so hope that we don't get shafted with a higher price compared to the u.s. The tpcast was set at a lower price bracket and we know how that ended up. Soon as the new vive wireless solution appears the TPCast price is sure to plummet. They're just raking it in as it's the only wireless unit atm.
GameCookerUSRocksVR Posted January 16, 2018 Author Posted January 16, 2018 What to do with the one you have now? Enjoy it. Play VR until your heart is content. It doesn't matter what is coming. What you have now is what matters. I have no regrets having my VIVE for the past 2 years even with all the later releases getting newer more quality games for free. You can't wait for future tech to come out to have fun otherwise you may as well never buy anything. We live in a time when innovation is growing at an exponential rate so don't fret. Get excited. ;-)
