Htc vive announces official price in spain.

The most important video game sales company of the moment, Valve, together with that of mobile phones, HTC, have announced enough news about their VR, the HTC Vive, to compete with the Oculus Rift.

HTC Vive

The Taiwan- based company announces the value for which this viral technology will be sold in the euro zone. The HTC was announced its price in dollars worth $ 800. What can lead us to think, what many companies usually do is a conversion to euros of 1 dollar = 1 euros (something that should be prohibited to me). In addition, between taxes, shipping costs and among other things, the HTC in Spain will cost a value of € 899.

The final price seems somewhat surprising to me, after having lived on twitter the commotion of “how expensive” the price of the Oculus Rift is. We recall that the Oculus Rift had a value of € 750 approx with accessories such as an Xbox controller among other things.

Despite this harsh price compared to the Oculus Rift, which has been heavily criticized for filling the Internet with articles and analysis of why it was so expensive, more than 15, 000 units have already been pre-purchased in its first 10 minutes of sales.

Also something to clarify, all the VR need, for now, the same PC power to be able to be used since the games have to be rendered twice at 90 FPS, something I don't know how they will do so that it can be used on the console or in games where it is rated at 30 or 60 fps.

What we do know is that, despite the high prices for this new technology and the harsh criticism, the world continues to massively buy these VR in a few minutes. You would do it?
