My friend and I were both there at zero hour on preorder day for the Index. I got my order through for the full pack in 5 min, my friends bank denied him, and by the time he had it sorted, it was about 10 past and the full package had sold out. He had already been contemplating keeping his 1.0 base stations, since he can't expand his play area at this time. So he got the HMD and Knuckles pack which hadn't sold out yet. Both should be arriving June 28th, but it will be interesting. With the original Vive, I got my preorder through 3 min after it went live on Feb 29th. That 3 min translated to it arriving 3 weeks after the release date. It looks like Valve compensated for this though, which is welcome to me. Guess we'll really know around the middle of June though.

It’s November 2022. I am watching your video here, after being a subscriber to your channel for more than 1 year. I pointed out because I am watching this because I just bought a valve index. I bought it because I have a quest to, but I wanted some thing with higher fidelity, as a PCVR machine. So it’s funny watching your last comments here at 11:28 as you reflect on how the VR market is hitting up with the rift. And while I have no words to say anything other we know the rest of Meta’s rollercoaster ride since then lol …. They, the Valve Index and Meta Quest, remain “the exciting” ones to watch (+Pico in the background). I know I’m about to have buyers remorse when I find out what valve has been up to, lol what they are going to replace the index with, and it looks to be soon. But I don’t. Watching your video 2 1/2 years later is testament to valve index. It is still some thing that is better than worth while 2 1/2 years later. There’s flaws, but nothing that’s going to kill it. Not like, say…, Oh, I don’t know… Quest pro? Lol. Thanks for this vid I really enjoyed it. A suggestion for something in the future would be stupid videos that walk through the interfaces of the quest to, steam, settings, menus, really boring stuff. But, for example, I had no fucking clue that there was pass-through on the valve index. I’ve had it for two months. Also, I didn’t even notice there was a little round button on the bottom of the front. That you could push that and turn on steam . That’s the kind of really boring level stuff that no one is covering. Just an idea!🎉

If you have a Vive already you can get the headset first ($599) and use your existing light houses and controllers, save up a bit get the index(Knuckles) ($280) controllers then your good unless you have a huge VR space then you'll need the new light houses another $200 or so. I don't think that's that bad. If your worried about PC Horsepower get a Windows Mixed reality headset there 85-90% as good as the Vive due to not full scale room tracking IMO.

If valve has competitive re-projection performance it will be an instant buy for me.

I'm just getting into VR and holy crap this thing is expensive. I have a VR capable PC and I've been researching which one to get. The index is a very nice headset and has everything any consumer would want, but that price tag is outrageous for newcomers. I like how Mike said that Valve was targeting enthusiasts while Oculus was going more for ease of use and simplicity: I couldn't agree more with that statement. Personally I'll be getting the Rift S since I'm JUST getting into VR and well... this thing costs half my salary #college

I'm in the same position, but I've been saving up for a long time with the intention of buying a VR set when something new comes out. Not gonna lie, it's honestly a bit more than I was willing to pay for, but it makes sense looking at what's inside of it. Just ended up biting the bullet and pray to God it'll be worth my money. The €1079 it costs is not an insignificant amount of money for me. At least I'll have something else to cry about if it's not as good as people were hoping for.

As somebody beginning with VR, you made the best possible choice, you got a cheaper headset with less hassle to setup, whats not to like? :) You can always upgrade later if you end up loving VR and being able to save up for a 'more pc like' VR experience. Again, as somebody new to VR the Rift S is going to be awesome, you did well :P
@suicidalbanananana 5 жыл бұрын
@Spicy Meatball "Not really worth chucking 1k+ at the index unless you have the cash to burn, imo" hits the nail right on the head, the Valve Index is aimed at enthusiasts with a budget to spend, if your new to VR its pretty logical to think of the Index as a pricey headset, and something like a Quest or Rift S would be a much better option. And thats exactly the difference between Valve and Oculus, Valve is still going for the enthousiast (like they did with the Vive) but Oculus has started trying to pull in the general public, both are great ways forward in their own right.

@@ThereminHero Sadly the FOV is all thats next gen about a Pimax, and while this Valve Index can be considered next gen (as in, they improved every aspect, so this kinda starts generation2) it still accepts current gen hardware to run it. So if you ask me, the Valve Index actually _is_ next gen, while the Pimax was a fun (but expensive) way to look at the future of VR at best. Realistically we likely wont see such fov's again till generation 3 or 4, because its getting pretty clear that people want less screen-door-effect above anything else, and currently large fov's just means even more screendoor effect then on cheaper headsets.

@suicidalbanananana 5 жыл бұрын
Everybody has the vision of VR available for the general user, even companies like Valve or Pimax want that, its just that right now some hardware cant be had for cheap prices, so for the foreseeable future there will be clear 'levels' of VR, cheap and okay levels, but also very expensive levels that will give much more immersion, the end goal is for it to all be cheap but also have the best hardware, for that to happen the best hardware has to become cheap, and for that to happen it has to be sold alot, so that will at first still happen at high prices. Its bscly exactly what you end with, VR has to evolve, and different price ranges of VR is how it will evolve, soon enough cheaper price ranges will try anything they can to get the same features as high end VR, meaning price drops across the board.

Yes. So, you can get only the headset and buy the rest later. 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.0. However, you cannot make your original Vive headset and controllers work with 2.0 base stations, because the 2.0 base stations lack the synchronization pulse original Vive expects. Vive Pro supports 2.0.
