The HTC Vive is up. £689.00. What they don't tell you is that's excluding tax and delivery according to the htc website. Though it might just be excluding delivery as the HTC website puts it at approx £750.

I was impressed by it for the 10 mins I had a go on it at insomnia. Kinda worried about long term affects on your eyes though. I mean isn't it kinda like sitting too close the TV? (twice?)

I'm not sure. I think it may be like a mirror, where it gives you false depth of field due to optical effects, and thus doesn't cause the same eye strain? I guess we'll find out within a few years!

Yeah considering I don't think I'll be buying in at this pricepoint, hopefully we'll know by the time the price falls

There are some issues with it, but different than just starting at a screen really close. I'm not sure I want to deal with that given I already have some problems with my eyes acting weird. The price tag isn't helping sell it, either.

to be honest I really don't know anything about any of these VR headsets, what they do, what they add to the experience etc. there seem to be a load of them, all massively expensive and demanding.
