Thing is I've had my eyes so set on HTC vive for awhile now but just haven't pulled the trigger yet cause of price.
Has anybody tried both?

I've tried Vive in a demo, and Rift here. Vive room tracking is amazing with the Lighthouses but I hear it has more issues overall in terms of support (can only do SteamVR, not Oculus exclusives and SteamVR combined) and the controllers are not as good. The price is a big barrier as well since HTC hasn't dropped to counter - I'd buy Oculus at $549 vs Vive at $800+.
Like mentioned below I ordered direct from Oculus. 549, no tax, free shipping, no duties (ships from US).

If I can still get the 550 deal no tax + free shipping might have to

You can get it until late August but you may get the new kit which doesn't include a XB1 controller and Oculus remote.
