Whoa, okay, where to start? HTC’s Vive Pro 2, right? Took off in 2021 and it’s like their go-to PC VR headset — been holding that throne for a while now. But wait a sec, now it’s cheaper than that time I found a dollar in my old jeans.
So, there’s this Summer of Gaming thing, running till, err, June 30th or something. And if you’re hunting for a VR headset that’s not the shiny newbie but still kicks ass, they’ve got you covered. You got two things to grab: a whole shebang hardware bundle or just the headset — depends on how deep your pockets are.
Here’s what you can snag:
-
Vive Pro 2 Full Kit marked down from $1,199 to $799.99, comes with the headset, SteamVR 2.0 Base Station, and those wand controllers that make you feel like a wizard.
- Vive Pro 2 Headset itself—what’s it now, $699 down to $499.99? No extras, just the headset. But hey, who needs bells and whistles, right?
And they’ve thrown in some Viveport Infinity thing — a pass to a massive game library for two months, just in case you want to hole up and disappear into VR land.
Let’s talk specs for a second. It’s got a pretty snazzy resolution and fancy lenses, but it’s older tech. Fresnel lenses, chunky build — like, do they want us to work out while gaming? But hey, if you stack it next to something like Bigscreen Beyond 2 at a thousand bucks, it’s not a bad offer. Plus, it’s got all that SteamVR goodness in the box.
You’ll need a solid PC for it, though. Your dusty laptop from college? Yeah, probably not gonna cut it. There’s a link somewhere on their site to check if your rig can handle it — basically, do your homework.
Oh, and there’s also the Vive Focus Vision. Launched in 2024, it’s doing its own mixed reality thing. They’ve got bundle deals too, tossing in some games to sweeten the pot.
Here’s the rundown:
-
Vive Focus Vision – PC VR Kit for $1,149 includes headset, controllers, and a display port kit, and they throw in a few games.
- Plain-old Vive Focus Vision for $1,049, same deal with the games.
By the way, did you see the price hike on the Focus Vision? Tariffs, man. Never a dull moment with that mess. Raised it after May 31st. They tried to keep it at its launch price before the bump, though.
And there’s more — Europe and UK folks, you’ve got deals too:
- Loads of kits, tracker packages, and controllers — the lot, with varying prices and stuff.
Anyway, no idea why I remembered this bit, but, there’s something oddly satisfying about the click of a VR controller. Or maybe it’s just me. Anyway, where were we? Oh, yeah — get in on these deals before they skedaddle.
