Amazing.

Doc Holliday · Jan 6, 2016

WTF are they thinking?

How is this that more expensive than the Dk2? Jesus, hype got to their heads :/

acksman · Jan 6, 2016

I bought one, I agree with everyone else, about $150 too much.

what's with the "rip vr" comments? this was always going to be niche just because of the system requirements, it'll sell well with an audience that's less price sensitive.

vr was never going to go mainstream until a few years down the line when mid-range computers are better and they've driven down the headset cost.

People predicting $300 for PSVR are probably deluding themselves too.

As are people saying that this is a 'profitable' cost. Sure, if you think there are only manufacturing costs involved in something like this. There's a lot of R+D to recoup here before it starts making money.

lol at the price.

I feel pretty good about my $275 kickstarter backing.

yeah no crap lol. I am so glad on got in early

Caayn · Jan 6, 2016

$600 is along the lines of what I expected. But holy hell why do you have to charge 700 (that's $750 fucking dollars) where I live and don't even have the decency to include shipping >.>

Nakkilokki · Jan 6, 2016

FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY-NINE US DOLLARS!!

Wow.

fred · Jan 6, 2016

Idiots. Should be $500 at the most. Going to be interesting to see what HTC do now. Making it the same price with their controllers included will make the Oculus Rift a flop.

Anyone know the UK price yet..?

nubbe · Jan 6, 2016

69900

NOPENOPENOPENOPE

Looking at HTC

Foggy · Jan 6, 2016

Preordered. Shame we don't have anything more than just March for estimated ship.

Steel · Jan 6, 2016

At that price and with the weird compatibility test coming up and saying that my USB 3.0 ports aren't good enough(wah?) I think I'll adopt a wait and see approach.

Dusktildawn48 · Jan 6, 2016

Anyone else not able to place their order, saying something went wrong

Donnie · Jan 6, 2016

Got to go to work now as well, this is pissing me off!

FelipeMGM · Jan 6, 2016

Now I fear that is impossible for PSVR to be $299

fuck, we really cant have nice things

NOLA_Gaffer · Jan 6, 2016

So assuming the VR headset costs $600 and a computer beefy enough to operate it is probably a little under $1000 you're looking at a $1500 entry price?

Yikes.

Yep, got through, £500 for the UK.

Fuck that.

Is that including VAT and shipping?

Curious how you cancel. There is no actual cancel button on the order history page.

You can't cancel THE FUTURE~

dejan · Jan 6, 2016

700 EUR without shipping. I said wow.

CryptiK · Jan 6, 2016

Wait 699 Euros? Wow and I thought Australia got shafted.

deoee · Jan 6, 2016

699 - WOW WOW that's stupid.

Fuck off..

gunslikewhoa · Jan 6, 2016

At least I know now that I can still get a decent price for my DK2!

Wow $599 was bad but this is a straight-up joke. Dead on arrival in regions where it's priced like that.

Zurick · Jan 6, 2016

"affordable for everyone" they say...

"$600" they say...

dkeane · Jan 6, 2016

Expected, but still insane. Especially when you consider the hardware you need to run it and the additional controllers later this year. Made my decision to wait easier though.

jabberwocker · Jan 6, 2016

amazingly overpriced. where is haz?

Funny thing, I'm not seeing the prices in euros, and I'm here in Western Europe.

Instead, it costs $59900!!! Because somehow the point isn't rendering I suppose?

LOL! Maybe $599 is a steal then

arts&crafts · Jan 6, 2016

1 US Dollar equals
1.41 Canadian Dollar
---------------------------
$599.00 USD
=
$843.57 CAD

victreeb3l · Jan 6, 2016

Just noticed it's only for high end PCs as well. Cant use it with my Mac so I guess I'll pass for now.

Trago · Jan 6, 2016

We still expecting this to succeed?

At least it's bundled with two games....

Holy shit, haha.

For a minute I was really thinking that might be the real price.

Trying to complete my order, but it keeps throwing me an error.

Minions · Jan 6, 2016

Well that explains why they didn't expect to sell out. First to market premium price tag.

Omegasquash · Jan 6, 2016

Oof. This feels like the PS3 pricing announcement.

Because of that 20% VAT.

Don't be surprised when it comes in at the same price or higher.

I'd bet against that.

hawkeyye293 · Jan 6, 2016

Well, it DOES include Lucky's tale so....

Wow Sony could actually sell at half that price and take the cost... and market share.

Sony would have 100% of the Playstation VR marketshare anyway.

piccio_ssl · Jan 6, 2016

699?

your move Sony

MiloFoxburr · Jan 6, 2016

European price is insane, 699 before shipping

DaSorcerer7 · Jan 6, 2016

Hmmm, what we be a good second job?

doctorcdcs · Jan 6, 2016

$914.00 CDN after shipping

my brain can't process this correctly

Galava · Jan 6, 2016

Seeing how the dedicated GAF gamers are abandoning boat, the average consumer won't even think about buying this thing. byebye oculus

741 euros in France... That's a nope.

Lol, what's happening.

Looking forward to them explain this.

FUCK. That's a pretty expensive start for VR.

But Sony could do their hero thing again and announce PSVR for $299.

Judging by the costs of Oculus, Sony would only do this if they're willing to either take a massive loss up front or sell a wildly inferior product.

AKA, it's going to be almost just as expensive.

Grylvak · Jan 6, 2016

Nope. Too expensive for me. $399 would've sold me right on the spot.
