Amazon have announced they’ve started selling the SteamVR powered HTC Vive VR system in their US online store.
Consumer virtual reality systems like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift are still just months old and already it feels like they’re making inroads to being accepted as every day products. And today, one of the biggest retail outlets online, Amazon.com, has announced they’ve started selling the HTC Vive in their US store.
“VIVE offers consumers the most immersive virtual reality experience available today with the most complete hardware system and a robust portfolio of content. Our expansion to Amazon further underscores our commitment to our customers to deliver options across virtual reality,” said Dan O’Brien, VP of VR at HTC.
The Vive, which launched online in April, is available for the same price as from HTC’s own website, for $799 with free shipping. Interested? Check out the Vive at Amazon here.
