Vive Pro on sale £200 discount at the moment.

Considering upgrading from my std Vive… worth it or hang on for next gen?

The Valve Index is also worth looking at, and is £130 cheaper. That's where my money will probably be going once they're back in stock.

The boy has an Oculus Rift, but refuses to download Resident Evil for it so I'll stick with Deus Ex and Skyrim on my laptop. rolleyes

I started this thread but sold my Vive some time ago. I then fancied another crack at VR so got myself an Oculus Rift S. It's much nicer than the original vive, easier to use and was much cheaper than a Vive Pro (I would have needed the full package)

Tracking is built in and the image is a lot clearer.

Could be an option for you?

That's a very good price for the Rift S, didn't realise it had gone camera free. What's the tracking like?

I think the Index is a better bet than the Pro and you can use the same basestations/controllers.
Or the Pimax if you can put up with the poor support, the product is pretty good but the company, not so much. The wider FOV is a total gamechanger.
