HTC Vive pre-orders begin on Feb. 29

Pre-orders for the HTC Vive virtual reality headset, being co-developed with Valve, will begin on Feb. 29, HTC's chief executive told The Telegraph today.

HTC said back in December that it planned to ship the headset in April, and had hoped to begin online sales of the unit by the end of last year.

The HTC Vive's price is still unknown.

Last week, the Oculus VR went on sale for $599, to begin shipping on March 28. For more on the HTC Vive, check out our in-depth hands-on from July.
