HTC will open up the pre-order flood gates for its Vive headset in a few hours, but how much will it cost outside of the US? The US pricing is $799, but for a country like Australia it's been bumped up to $899 - without shipping. With the dollar conversion right now, we're looking at around AU$1261 without shipping - add another $100-$150 for shipping and we're at $1400 or so.
What about the rest of the world? The HTC Vive will cost £689 in the UK, while Canadians will expect to pay CAD$1149. Here's a breakdown of the rest of the pricing for the launch countries that the Vive will be hitting when it launches in April:
