Looking for a sub $1000 HTC Vive. Hoping for a good deal during 20% off sales. RRP from Vive Australia is $999 so anything under that should be sweet

I've looked into the Dell and Acer ones and I don't think they look as good. The only consideration I have in waiting is that the Vive Knuckled will hopefully be released soon. They look bloody fantastic
I've been digging myself for a deal on a vive man,
Nothing in Australia under $1000 at the moment, even when the 18% off eBay wide starts tonight. A lot of sellers on eBay have sold out of the vive from previous sales and haven't restocked or have unlisted them. The ones remaining are $1300+ So you are just better off getting from HTC direct.
Yeah unfortunately Microsoft eBay store used to have them and sold out. They've had them as low at $900 AUD. US retailers can send them to aus for about $850AUD but I'd rather buy local
I heard Vive will be using cloud technology so that you don't need a fast pc…
Would need extremely fast net - faster than nearly everything here in Aus..
Would be interesting though.
Lolwhat? What part of cloud technology could it ever use? The processing power is done by your CPU and graphics card, which couldn't be done in the cloud without huge latency.
Hi,
Just got for $860 ish, delivered.

USE PLUG20 for 20% (excludes delivery which was $60 to Melbourne)

Windows Mixed Reality are releasing soon starting with Dell Visor $469 USD RRP (includes everything for room and controller tracking) mid October … I'd wait and see how those pan out and what they do to prices. On paper the specs look better than Vive (1440x1440 90Hz each eye) and it looks a lot more comfortable to wear as well.
Products from Acer and Lenovo are also due shortly.
