HTC Vive marks first anniversary with a one-day $100 price cut

The HTC Vive virtual reality headset debuted a year ago today, and HTC is marking the occasion with some new offers and deeper discounts. Among the offers, HTC is cutting the Vive’s price for new customers by $100, bringing the overall price down to $700 on April 5. But it’s only for one day.

HTC’s Vive Day celebration will include the launch of the Viveport Subscription with a one-month free trial. And customers who already bought a Vive will receive a free download of Vive Studios’ Arcade Saga, which otherwise costs $20.
