Posted August 21, 2017 Sauce: https://blog.vive.com/us/2017/08/21/htc-vive-announces-price-drop/ Quote Starting today (8/21), we are reducing the price of Vive by $200. The high-end, PC-based consumer Vive that is in market today, and will be for the foreseeable future, will now be available for $599. All Vive purchases come with a free trial to Viveport Subscription, where consumers can choose up to 5 titles per month to experience, and copies of some of the most popular pieces of VR in Google’s Tilt Brush, EverestVR, and Richie’s Plank Experience. So, yay I guess? After the Rift's price drop Valve/HTC had to follow of course. It's still an expensive piece of equipment though.

Posted August 21, 2017 I was tempted by Oculus' $400 deal... but I'm still waiting for a v2 of the vive with better pixel density and the knuckles controllers.

Posted August 21, 2017 can you use the vive just as the headset for games like simulators to look around in the cockpit, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game supports VR, yes, you can use gamepad and Vive together. Or in the case of flying games, joystick/HOTAS and VIVE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
