Would-be Vive owners, meanwhile, report that their credit cards were declined and didn't get subsequent attempts. The hiccup led to some buyers either losing their orders or being bumped back in the queue, which is bound to trigger a heart attack if you rushed to spend $799. HTC pins the problem on "processing issues" at banks and is aiming to resume orders in the right order, but it doesn't have a solid time frame for when everything will be fixed. Look at it this way, though: if you're a Vive buyer, you can at least take comfort in knowing that your Oculus Rift brethren aren't faring much better.
