Valve's Index has been a very hard to get item as of late and it became harder when Half-Life Alyx was announced. Besides being in high demand, the coronavirus also caused shortages of parts needed to build the HMD.

If you're still looking for one, you're in luck. Well, you'll have to be lucky. At 10AM on March 9, 2020, all of the various Index bundles and parts will go on sale. If it's anything like when it was first put on sale, the items will sell out quickly.

I wouldn't be surprised if all of the items sell out before Monday is up. I was lucky and grabbed the Index back in June of last year and it's by far the best HMD I've used. I just wish it had a wireless option like the Vive as that add-on truly was a game changer. Nevertheless, it's the HMD I use for my main gaming and the Index controllers are legit.

$1000 will net you all the items needed to play with the headset coming in at $500 and the controllers at $280. I'll probably try to pick up some base stations at $150 each myself. If you already own a Vive or Vive Pro, you can just pick up the headset and controller for $750 as they are backwards compatible with the first version Lighthouses.
