HTC Offers Limited-Time Discount on Vive Pro 2 Headset & Complete Bundle

Oh boy, so HTC threw the Vive Pro 2 into the ring back in 2021. I mean, can we talk about how it’s still wearing the flagship crown for HTC’s PC VR lineup? And just like that, blink, it’s going cheap—at least for a moment.

So, brace yourself, HTC’s having their Summer of Gaming blowout till June 30th. Deals? Oh yeah, a few nuggets here. Been eyeing the Vive Pro 2? Well, whether you want the whole shebang or just the headset—your call, buddy.

Vive Pro 2 Deals:

• Full Kit: Usually at $1,199, now $799.99. You get the headset, SteamVR 2.0 Base Station, and those Vive wand controllers.
• Just the Headset: $699 slashed to $499.99. You’re solo though, no base stations or controllers.

Oh, and they’ll throw in two months of Viveport Infinity. Love free stuff? You can dive into over 1,000 VR games. Sweet, huh?

Specs Peek

Here’s where it gets geeky:

• Resolution: 2,448 × 2,448 for each eye. LCD magic.
• Refresh Rates: Options at 90Hz or 120Hz.
• Lenses: Dual-element Fresnel (fancy name, right?).
• Field-of-view: 120° horizontal.
• Tracking: Uses SteamVR, either 1.0 or 2.0.
• Audio & Microphones: On-ear headphones & dual mic setup.

Sure, it’s got a thicker profile thanks to those Fresnel lenses. Kinda like comparing a brick to sleek, aerodynamic gizmos like the Bigscreen Beyond 2 which is whispering promises of higher res and featherweight feel. But hey, the price difference is nothing to sneeze at—$200 less than the Beyond 2!

Vive Focus Vision

Now, shifting gears—Focus Vision entered the scene late 2024. It can do VR and mixed reality all on its own. Plus, you can sneak in some PC VR wireless or cabled fun. Till June 30th, they’re bundling in games. Tempting? Maybe.

• PC VR Kit: $1,149. Includes headset, controllers, the whole DisplayPort streaming shebang, along with games like Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine 2.
• Just the Headset and Games: $1,049.

Why the price hike, though? Tariffs! Yep, US tariffs have nudged prices north of their original launch tag by $49 after May 31st.

UK & Europe Sneak Peek

Oh, and across the pond, those lucky folks get these:

• Vive Pro 2 Full Kit: €839/£699.
• Just the Headset: €469/£449.
• Vive XR Elite: €829/£699 with some VR games for good measure.
• Vive XR Elite with Trackers: More bang-for-buck with trackers and a wireless dongle.

Random thought—controllers sound like technology’s way of playing fetch, right? But with some weird gadgets instead of tennis balls. Anyway—keep your eyes peeled if any of these make your wishlist. Deals like this don’t hang around—and neither does my attention span, apparently.
