We already knew that the VR goggles from HTC would be expensive, here in the EU however that's going to be a notch more expensive. The HTC Vive in the Benelux will be released on April 5th at a price of 899 EURO.
For the money you will receive the glasses, Link Box, two Vive base stations and a controller. 899 EURO is 200 EURO more expensive compared to the already expensive Oculus kit at 699 EURO.
The pre-orders for the HTC Vive kit will start today. The Vive cannot be used without a PC. HTC recommends a GeForce GTX 970 or Radeon R9 290 as recommended spec.
