May 2, 20224 yr Basically, I have gone from "I'll place an order in 2 weeks time when the G2 is back in stock at the HP Store" to "I'll wait for the next gen of someone else's headset" in a space of 48 hours. After all the hype of the Version2 of the Gen2 coming in at the same price as the Version1, they have actually hiked it up from around £550 in stock in the store only last week to a quoted £903.22! As it was going to be an upgrade from my Gen 1, £500ish was already going to be a marginal decision. If it's heading towards £1k, I may as well just wait for an affordable wider FOV to come onto the market. It's also exceptionally irritating that in advertisements - even on the HP Store itself - you just cannot find out if you are getting the 2021 'Version 2' or the older design...

May 5, 20224 yr Author Same model now down to £610 (and it definitely isn't the omniconcept version). Not sure what the £903 was about. Mistake? 'Market Research'? Someone in HP seen this thread? 😉 Not in stock yet but hopefully, when they are, they will be no higher than this new price Ryzen 7 9800x3D @5.2GHz; ASUS X670-P Motherboard; nVidia 4080 (factory o/c); 32G 5600MHz DDR5 SDRAM; Pimax Crystal Light VR Headset; Quest 3 VR Headset
