HTC has this week announced it has reduced the price of its HTC Vive Pro virtual reality headset by $200 allowing you to purchase the stand-alone headset for its lowest price since launch at $599. Although if you don’t have the controllers or sensors already you will need to purchase these to be able to use the VR headset. Even with its $200 price reduction the HTC Vive Pro is still priced higher than the Oculus Rift S which is now available priced at just $399.
