£799 for the headset, just had an email from HTC
VAT accounts for 20% of the difference. US prices are always listed without sales tax as each state has a different rate.
Heard it all before.
This thing is priced 15% above where it should be at current exchange rates...

Hmm that's a pity as I was definitely hoping for a more sensible price as you end up with two headsets but only one set of peripherals.
I wonder what my Avegant Glyph glasses will go for on Ebay when Ready Player One is released because surely a direct retinal device is the only way to watch it

If you've experienced as many VR headset's as I have proper tracking can be worth it's weight in gold.
The important thing to remember with the VIVE PRO is that it isn't primarily a gaming advice but a professional headset designed to be used for real world applications such as by designers, architects, doctors etc. to be able to visualise projects, scans etc. It is one of the reasons they have put the tracking area up to 10x10m so that they can fit whole cars into the space and be able to walk around them and view them from all angles.

Called it what do I win?Iam calling it £799.99, well HTC has to make some money.
I've experienced pretty much every major VR platform available. Windows MR has no area limit for tracking and in my experience has been as smooth as the Vive apart from issues with controller tracking when outside tracking area.
Exactly. I got so annoyed when the controllers lost tracking when holding them down by my side or trying to look at something one way, while holding the controller in the opposite direction.

i've got an Odyssey but I am going Pro - the screen on the Odyssey isn't all that tbh, it's a bit warped and has loads of chromatic aberration.
also the odyssey is incredibly uncomfortable

Didn't they mention a special upgrade offer for current owners at CES? IS THAT WAS THIS PRICE IS???
I was really looking forward to upgrading, now there's no way I can justify paying that. Not a chance is the new headset £800 worth to upgrade over the current headset with the DAS. Such a shame.
