Surprise, surprise: the starting HTC Vive Pro price is mighty expensive – in fact, it’s equally as pricey as when the original HTC Vive first launched. Yes, HTC Vive Pro pre-orders have been opened for $799 or £799 (about AU$1,015) for the device to arrive by April 5, the headset maker has announced.

The pre-orders have gone live through HTC’s own Vive.com website and other retailers, like Amazon. That rather ‘enthusiast-level’ price gets you a free six-month trial to HTC’s Viveport Subscription, a game subscription service that offers five games or videos per month from more than 400 pieces of content available. Otherwise, the service costs $8.99 or £8.99 a month, up from the standard $6.99 or £6.99 for existing subscribers who get this latter price through the end of the year.
