Throw in the wireless adapter and sell the full kit (with index controllers) for 1000 bucks, and I might bite when my CV1 dies.

Actually the $899 is for the Vive Pro starter kit w/1.0 base stations/controllers. Probably ok for most unless you have a pretty big play area. The full kit w/2.0 base stations/controllers is now listed at $1199.

So annoying. Shouldn't even be selling v1.0 base stations in my opinion. I remember all the talk about v2 being cheaper to manufacture.

Dunno if the user is talking out of his bum, but there's a comment related to this article that might explain it:From my understanding things didn't go as planned and failure rates of 20-30% at factory (Flex @ Buffalo Grove Illinois - assembled in USA using foreign sourced components) meant production is off schedule. Some redditors report waiting from before Christmas for replacement 2.0 base stations with no ETA, and a number of these reports were for 2.0 dead on arrival or failure soon after powering up.
Speaking to developer at event recently using Vive Pro, he said they'd had over a dozen 2.0 base stations fail within a year, compared to 1 failure of 1.0 over 2 year prior. There have been revisions of 2.0 base stations from units supplied to HTC and perhaps ongoing revisions for Valve's units for Index?
