You Can Now Try Out Htc Vive Units At Select Microsoft Stores

If you are thinking about buying a VR headset, but you aren’t sure if the experience is worth the money, Microsoft has an option to alleviate the indecisiveness natural with the advent of such new technology. Going forward, the tech giant will let its customers test out HTC’s Vive VR headset at select Microsoft stores.

With all the VR hype in the air, all the major technology manufacturers are unsurprisingly focusing their efforts towards creating new VR compatible products, despite the increasingly popular tech remainings quite expensive. The HTC Vive itself has a $799 price tag, so it’s perfectly logical to want to try out the product before parting with this amount of money.
