  • Peter

    Could somebody please write down the dimensions & weight of the box it was shipped in? I’m going to have one fedexed to me on release to holland and I am curious what my shipping cost wil be. Thank you in advance.

      Unless you’re fairly well off, most likely, as the phrase goes, an arm and a leg.

      • Peter

        This might become a seated experience after all then lol

  • RockstarRepublic

    And still no word on the consumer iteration Its unfortunate that they are just doing another glorified devkit of sorts.

      That was announced a while ago. Preorders for the consumer version start on Feb. 29th. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/11/10748770/htc-valve-vive-vr-preorder-date-february-29th

        It doesnt say anything about the actual consumer version, is it just the dev kit (pre) opened up for everyone or is there an actual consumer version?

        • MountainK1ng

          “HTC tells us that the company will reveal the pricing, shipping date, and final consumer design “close to” the preorder date.” So, should be pretty soon, a week and a half?
