Want to know how much a replacement HTC Vive Base Station or SteamVR controller would set you back should the worst happen? HTC’s Vive accessory store has been updated to include these items, along with some eye opening prices.
The HTC Vive accessory store launched a few weeks ago, and stocked a selection limited to peripherals and consumables (namely ear buds, facial interfaces etc.). But now, for those of you particularly accident prone, or simply willingly reckless with their HTC Vive hardware, HTC has added critical electronic components that you may want to replace.
After-market replacements and accessories, especially in the mobile phone sector, where prices often creep up beyond expectations, and the HTC Vive store is no exception. If you’re looking to replace a single SteamVR controller it’ll set you back $129.99 with a single new Base Station coming in at $134.99 for example. You can also layout hands on a new breakout ‘Link’ box for $29.99.
These prices are far from outrageous, especially in the aforementioned accessory context, but it might prove as an extra incentive to reign in that reckless gaming technique or simply to secure those Base Stations with a little more care.
