The HTC Vive is now officially the first high-end virtual reality headset that you can buy like a normal tech product, instead of preordering and then waiting a month or two. HTC is promising that any new Vive order will ship within 72 hours, and it's also slightly expanding its offline retail presence, so there's a better chance of just picking one up at a store. A $799 product isn't exactly an impulse purchase, but this still makes the Vive more attractive to people who weren't totally committed to the platform already. So, obviously, this raises a question: now that the Vive has had two months to mature, should you buy it?
And just like two months ago, there's still a simple answer: do you have a lot of money, patience, and tolerance...
