International Pricing and Painting App For HTC Vive Revealed
Last week, HTC announced the price for its virtual reality headset, the Vive: $799. HTC has just confirmed the international pricing for the unit as well as a application that will be bundled with each headset in addition to Fantastic Contraption and Job Simulator: Google's Tilt Brush.
You can find the prices for the Vive for various countries listed in the table here.
As far as Tilt Brush goes, it's an app that "lets you paint in 3D space with virtual reality." We got some hands-on time with it last year and came away impressed; you can watch Tilt Brush in action here:

Our Take
Regardless of what you might think about the price, it's super handy for HTC to provide that much info about pricing. Also, Tilt Brush looks pretty neat.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
