We already informed you last year about Valve’s Index being sold out in US and Canada. Now the headset is unavailable in all regions except Japan. All versions of Index are sold out, even the full kit. Only the headset and the headset with controllers versions are available and only in Japan.
Valve said they are working hard to make more units available and meet the high demand. They are targeting to bring the headset back in stock before Half-Life: Alyx ships.
So it looks like Valve’s Index is a major success and people are eager for anything Half-Life. Unfortunately we have no idea if the game is actually any good and if it does indeed worth the asking price, including the headset.
Hopefully Valve will not disappoint and give us a title worth having the name Half-Life.
Half-Life: Alyx is scheduled for release somewhere in March 2020.
Thanks RoadtoVR.

Playstation VR cries in a corner
I doubt that, it probably still has the highest install base at over 5 million. Doesn’t help how crappy an experience it is though.

“HE”? You mean your boyfriend? Or did you forget to spell check, CHRIS? And what if HE already owned a VR headset.. is it still part of the asking price just to buy the game? One might consider that it’s multipurpose and it ain’t all about Alyx when factoring in value.
VR is different than normal gaming. You can get a much better idea of gameplay from watching videos since it involves your actual body which you are very familiar with. Pretty much any VR game is fun especially if it has good mechanics and graphics. Moving your body is always fun and the controls in vr are insanely better than anything else. Just shooting a simple gun in vr is more fun than most anything you could ever do in pancake games.
I have no idea why you wrote this.
Probably the same reason you wrote your drivel.
Are you a friend of YouRong? Tell him that I bought a Vive when it launched, so I’m confused to why he is telling me all that.
Without actual sales numbers this doesn’t tell anything.
You mean like most cases with EGS titles that devs claim have sold millions?
You just ended this man’s already dead Video Game Analyst career.
It tells us the Half-Life name still holds a lot of weight even though we have not had a Half-Life game for 13 years.
copy/paste this sentence to all Epic news about their sales and success
Why, they usually post actual sales numbers or revenue.
I was going to answer then i remembered you’re a robot
I’ve never seen them providing sales numbers, just buzzwords.
They just published their 2019 numbers couple of days ago.
It does, it tells you that its selling much better than Valve anticipated, and/or could provide for.
Glad I got mine when i did, its so much better than the rest iv had.
But do we know if it “does indeed worth the asking price”?
lol
I seriously doubt that it’s that much better and certainly not worth more than twice the price of the Rift.
all 2 kits per country? damn
I couldnt find any useful data doing a quick 2 page google search. No info on how many units were made, sold, nada.
It’s possible Valve played it safe and only made a thousand of them and they’re sold out already.
It’s only because they manufactured few of them. Pretty easy to say it’s out of stock everywhere when it was a couple of tens of thousand being sold.
And people speak like it’s millions…. Fooking marketing.
People stoopid…Fook dem all!!
good ‘ol Japan lover of all things PC. Oh yeah thats right. Still watching on that Dark Souls PC patch. Its only been 9 years.
I bought one. Boneworks is amazing.
It was always available before the Half life announcement. After a month it was coming soon, then after it became available again for few hours it went out of stock until now.
Its all the VR from all manufacturers than are running out of stock.
So the Index for EU only? No Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Ukraine, Turkey?
No S America, no S Korea, Australia, NZ?
