Just in under £700. Not too bad.

I'm glad there's people on this forum rich enough to afford both. The Oculus might win my personal preference for the headset. But both companies have decided to sell their headsets as games platforms, and so it could come down to the user experiences that the platforms provide. We can only find that out once the headsets are commercially available.

I trust the opinions of the people in this forum.

Alas I'm not rich enough to afford both. Going to stick with my Oculus pre order for now.

Is that inc P&P and vat? If so not bad

 

[Qubit]

That price includes VAT, but P&P costs have not been specified.

Also, shipping starts from 5th April.

Here's the official blog info from HTC:

I think P&P is extra.

 

[Bobbydylan]

That must include P&P. Why would I buy it an not want it shipped to me?

curious, has anyone played fantastic contraption or job simulator? seem like weak titles to bundle with the ViVe , not exactly killer VR games or are they?

Killer Vr games are most probably still not ready - and want to be sold separately because anyone who will buy the VIVE will buy the games anyway. So, why make it a gift ?
Oculus makes it the same way.

I swear we will see some anoncements in April.

Just to keep things tidy.
