BARCELONA — If you think the Oculus Rift's (http://mashable.com/category/oculus-rift/) $599 price tag (http://mashable.com/2016/01/06/oculus-rift-price-pre-orders/) is a lot of money for a virtual reality headset, you're **t going to like how much the HTC Vive (http://mashable.com/category/htc-vive/) is going to cost.
HTC an**unced at Mobile World Congress (http://mashable.com/category/mwc2016/) the Vive will cost $799 in the U.S., a $200 premium over the Oculus Rift. It'll cost £689 in the UK.

Pre-orders for the VR headset will still open on Feb. 29 (http://mashable.com/2016/01/11/htc-vive-pre-orders/), with devices shipping out in early April.
Before you freak out (http://mashable.com/2016/01/06/oculus-rift-price-rage/) over how expensive the Vive is (and how much VR will cost for first adopters), it's helpful to understand why.
While the Vive and Rift headsets are going to offer very similar visual experiences, the Vive ships with something the Rift doesn't: proper VR controllers (http://mashable.com/2015/07/18/htc-vive-hands-on/). The Rift comes with a wireless Xbox One controller and **t the Oculus Touch (http://mashable.com/2016/01/06/oculus-rift-consumer-version-touch-controllers/) hand controllers, which won't be available until later this year (http://mashable.com/2016/01/01/oculus-touch-delay/).
