When it comes to shopping for the holidays, even shopping for yourself, you are always looking for a good deal. Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Vive is offering some awesome discounts for those who are looking to get into virtual reality, or even just extend their current library of Vive hardware. This is the best deal you are going to find on the Vive Pro too, so stay tuned for some of the best deals HTC Vive has ever strung together.
Starting this Thursday night and going through the following Monday afternoon, you will be able to save $300 on either the Vive Pro Starter Kit or the Vive Pro Full Kit. The Vive Pro Starter Kit is going to be just $799, and for what is included, it is going to make it feel like theft by the time you get home. In this bundle, you will be receiving the Vive Pro headset, SteamVR 1.0 base stations, and the common first-gen Vive controllers.
If you are looking to be on the newer side of the tech, you can go for the Vive Pro Full Kit. This will include the Vive Pro headset, SteamVR 2.0 base stations, and the newest Vive controllers. This will be priced at $1,099. If you already have the Vive setup and the controllers, and you are simply wanting to upgrade to the Vive Pro headset, that is going to come at a huge discount as well, with a price point of $599. This is the cheapest price we have seen a new Vive Pro headset, so capitalizing on the discount is going to be a big deal this weekend.
If the Vive Pro isn’t appealing to you, but the Vive Cosmos is, then you are in luck. The Vive Cosmos is seeing its first sale of its life with a discount of $100. That puts the Cosmos at $599 for the headset and the controllers. The Cosmos tracks from the inside-out, making this headset not require any external base stations. Other deals this weekend include $50 off the Vive wireless adapter, and a temporary price reduction of the Certified Pre-Owned Vive Systems for a price of $349.
To put a cherry on top of all deals this weekend, Vive has included free Viveport Infinity to all users if they buy any hardware from Vive this weekend. There isn’t one deal on here that won’t be used over the next week. Viveport Infinity alone is a great deal, and getting thousands of free games is a perk not many can say no to. If you aren’t buying hardware but want Viveport Infinity, there is a deal for you as well. Through December 2nd, anyone can purchase Viveport Infinity for a full year for only $60, a solid 45% discount of what the price is usually.
All of these discounts are fantastic. Vive has a wide array of discounts to appeal to a lot of different people. What surprises us most though, is the Vive Cosmos being at a discount. It is only $100 price reduction, but for their release of the year, it must not be ideal to put it on a discount this early in the year. The Vive Cosmos is not selling like it should be, and the software has been riddled with updates and betas since the first day of launch. Hopefully this idea to get more headsets on heads works, as nothing else has yet. For more VR gaming news and community updates, make sure to check back at VRGear.com.
