Okay, so here’s the thing. HTC’s Vive Pro 2, right? Launched back in 2021. Feels like eons ago, doesn’t it? Anyway, it’s been the rockstar of their PC VR headset lineup, but now—surprise, surprise—it’s discounted like never before. Kind of a big deal if you’re hunting for some VR gear.
So, HTC’s got this Summer of Gaming Sale rolling until June 30th. Pretty sweet deals if you ask me, especially if you’re cool with grabbing a last-gen headset. Yeah, it’s got some age, but let’s not nitpick.
The full kit’s at $799.99 now—used to be $1,199. What do you get? The headset, SteamVR 2.0 Base Station, and some Vive wand controllers. Or, if you just want the headset, it’s slashed down to $499.99 from $699. Pretty alright, right? Both options come with two months of Viveport Infinity, so you can munch through over 1,000 VR titles.
Now, the specs. Numbers can be dull, but they matter, right? It’s got a resolution of 2,448 × 2,448 per eye. Not too shabby with 90Hz and 120Hz refresh rates. Lenses? Fresnel, dual-element. The field of view? 120 degrees horizontal. Adjust as you want – got that IPD adjustment and all that geeky goodness. Connections and tracking, tick those boxes. Anyway—where was I? Oh, right—it’s got all the stuff you’d expect.
Granted, it’s not the sleekest cat on the block. Biggish lenses and, yeah, it’s kinda bulky. Compare it to, like, Bigscreen Beyond 2? That one might have a slightly higher res and less heft. But hey, for $200 less, including all the extras like base stations and controllers, still a solid choice. Just make sure your PC can handle it—trust me, you’d want to check that.
Okay, jumping tracks a bit. HTC’s also got some fresh bundle pricing for the newer Vive Focus Vision, out since late 2024. It’s capable of VR sorcery—standalone, mixed reality, PC VR wireless streaming. From now until June 30th, grab two special bundles. One’s a PC VR Kit for $1,149—comes with a headset, controllers, a Wired Streaming Kit, and games like Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine 2. Slight heads-up: prices bounced up a tad due to tariffs. So, yeah, fun times.
Not done yet! Europe’s getting some love too. Deals across Vive Pro 2 kits, Vive XR Elite, even the trackers and base stations are up for grabs. All valid till the magic date, June 30th. Ah, global sales really do bring everyone together, don’t they?
Anyway, there you have it. A bit messy, a bit of this and that—but life kinda is, isn’t it?
