Pretty standard. Seen hard drives on offer for less than half the price they are here, it’s very frustrating.
I did speak to a HP lady in the states, and she confirmed that the price difference was correct, and she didn't know why it wasn't on sale in other parts of the world. HP UK chat don't even bother hiring support assistants.What's up with the crazy price discrepancy on this? $299 in the US versus £595 in the UK.
Well, it's gotten even worse now... Not just HP themselves, but SystemActive have also upped their price. It's £680 there as well now.
Really want this, but I just cant justify it when they keep putting it on sale for $300-$400 in the US... Can still buy it from the Netherlands for the original price. With import and tax you'd be looking at around £590-600 again.HP Reverb G2 | SystemActive

Honestly.
If you tried a G2 and a Pico 3 link side by side, you'd save yourself £270.
Unlikely but good idea - it's never exposed to direct sunlight though. I hadn't used it for about a year though and did install a new cable (which seems to work fine). As the anomaly follows the headset (rather than the graphics) it must be "optic" related I guess though rather than "electric" but it's odd it's in both eyes (albeit slightly more visible in one versus the other)!It's not sun damage is it?
I have a G2. it's a good SIM headset but buying one when you have an index? hard pass from me! keep your index and then maybe consider a pimax crystal or quest 3 when that drops imo.Currently weighing up buying the reverb g2 this late in the cycle. Had a break from vr whilst doing up a house.
I have an index and was waiting for index 2 but am losing faith than it will come soon. Also not sure it will be pcvr enthusiast friendly.
I am mainly a sim gamer so would run the index and reverb at the same time. Play dcs,il2, msfs2020 and iracing.
Looking at the vr 2023 landscape it feels as though pcvr gaming is dying. I read about the Somnium which sounds good on paper but who knows what it will be like in reality.
Getting bad fomo in that the reverb will be one of the last reasonably priced high fidelity pcvr heatsets.
Advice welcome....
Cheers for comment - sounds as though im getting carried away. Still wondering what the next pcvr upgrade will be after the indexI have a G2. it's a good SIM headset but buying one when you have an index? hard pass from me! keep your index and then maybe consider a pimax crystal or quest 3 when that drops imo.
it's an outside chance but maybe psvr2 will be modded to run on pc
Thanks. These do look interesting - great specs and work with the index base stations. Price is not too bad - guess i should sit on the index a bit longerIf you have an Index kit and the money the new Big Screen Beyond looks very interesting.
true but you could sell your index HMD for some cash back. the quest 3 will be an all in 1 solution and that I think will be better than the G2 as well.Cheers for comment - sounds as though im getting carried away. Still wondering what the next pcvr upgrade will be after the index
Pimax crystal looks great but still over 1500 bucks.
Probably too late now, but here you go.I’m looking to get G2 V2 faceplate for my G2 V1
Could someone with G2 V2 go to https://parts.hp.com/
and type in their serial number?
I wonder whether the latest face gasket part number come up as an available replacement part.
For my G2 V1 serial, i get the following for the face plate:
M09578-000
SPS-FABRIC FACE MASK & HEADPAD
Could anyone with version 2 (two piece face gasket) check?
my advice. removed the gasket completely and buy a VR cover oddyssey face pad, then blue Peter it with some velcro it is what I do with mine, it is comfy and absolutely maxed the FOV and sweetspot of the lenses. cost me around £30 all inI’m looking to get G2 V2 faceplate for my G2 V1
