<p align="center"> </p><p><p>A quick news post for anyone following the HTC Vive announcements: as we reported back at MWC, the official pricing and timing for pre-orders was announced. For your $799 on February 29<sup>th</sup> at 10am EST, you get the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>HTC Vive head mounted display (HMD)</li>
<li>Two Base Stations (for location)</li>
<li>One pair of controllers</li>
<li>A Link Box</li>
<li>Vive Ear buds</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p>As part of the package, two titles were also announced as being bundled: Job Simulator (the demo of which I still remember vividly as trying managed to microwave steak and wine) and Fantastic Contraption. As of yesterday, HTC announced that Google’s Tilt Brush will also be a part of the pre-order bundle for a limited time. Tilt Brush is the VR equivalent of MS Paint, that initial drawing platform allowing users to create, but this time in a full 3D environment.</p>
