Go on you know you want it.

I`m going to wait for reviews before I take the plunge.

If I didn't have the Pimax then sure but the Pimax is a really good headset and only cost me £402. Defo getting the Knuckles though.

Full Package - £919
Headset and controllers £689

Knuckles - £259
Base Stations - £139
Total bought individually - £1226

Interestingly the headphone don't touch your ears. They hover just over them to give better dispersion and so the sound doesn't come from inside your head.

Na don't like that. Also did you notice the wording in the fov section "this headset provides 20° more FOV than the HTC Vive for typical users."

Translates to same fov if you shove you face into your vive with no face foam.

I think the base stations are £139 each?

I hate those two tested cretins, they make my piss boil!

you also predicted in the same post they would be able to go price parity with rift S... some would call that hedging your bets

£920 tho. is P&P on top?

I can see this being popular with the Vive die hards, but its a bit much to swallow for the complete package especially when you consider the fov is only a fraction more than the Vive. Will Valve go inside out with their next offering? those base stations are far to expensive.
And its LCD, which kicked up a sh*tstorm when the RiftS was announced.
