Only confirmed for NA right now

"There will be a bundle in the SCEA region [North America] with Move and a Camera," a rep sitting in on the interview told Tech Insider (after much cajoling from Yoshida himself). Sadly, the rep wasn't able to give a price for the PlayStation VR bundle that includes the (required) PlayStation Camera and (not required, but important) PlayStation Move controller.

This was blatantly obvious.

LiK · Mar 15, 2016

Of course.

boredandlazy · Mar 15, 2016

Shocking.

Lingitiz · Mar 15, 2016

Probably just want to keep it a quiet thing so people aren't saying "PSVR is $500"

Bornstellar · Mar 15, 2016

KalBalboa · Mar 15, 2016

Glad I have a cheaper option, as I own the camera and moves already.

Movalpolos · Mar 15, 2016

You dropped the ball by not adding "PSA" to the title OP.

ArtHands · Mar 15, 2016

I be getting the bundle if its not too expensive

Boke1879 · Mar 15, 2016

Take the loss and make the bundle $450

Will likely be around $100 extra. Can't see them starting too much from RRP.

Boke1879 said:

They're likely to sell through their first allocation as it doesn't sound that big. I can't see them doing that when they don't need to.

Probably will somewhere down the line.

Might be better to buy those things now...unless they bundle them for $50 more.

Same same.

Andrefpvs · Mar 15, 2016

Hope the newly manufactured Moves use a Micro USB interface.

Lingitiz said:

Yeah

I'm actually glad I can get the headset standalone but not making it clear that the bundle would be available was a dumb move.

EvB · Mar 15, 2016

Surely there is going to be a new design Move controller due out too?
One with a Share button and a design that matches PS4.
At the very least they will be manufacturing more of them, so why not update it

GeoramA · Mar 15, 2016

And there it is.

I already have a Move controller, I just need a camera. Just gonna wait when a good deal comes along.

Raylan · Mar 15, 2016

Of course!

- Makes sense
- Expected

ZarKryn7 · Mar 15, 2016

Lol. As expected.

They've actually said there's no redesign planned a couple times. Wouldn't be surprised if there was one down the line but it probably won't be coming for a while.

eksy · Mar 15, 2016

damn, expect to drop $500 in total, just for the hardware.

this better be some damn revolutionary stuff. the trailer showcasing the games don't look all that amazing.

i'll wait until they have fully realized 3d worlds and towns to explore.

Movalpolos · Mar 15, 2016

I think they will do $479 for the bundle.

What's to update really? The current moves don't have start and select and it's unconfirmed if navigation controllers even work.

TheDarkKnight774 · Mar 15, 2016

Just need the camera as I have 2 move controllers already. So bought the camera on Amazon for $44 and standalone $399 for day one.

You cannot judge VR by looking at trailers.....you need to try it it is a different experience.

No it wasn't.

They wanted to focus their message on a headline price, and then the news about bundles etc would come out in the press over the following days.

Tankard · Mar 15, 2016

Shocking news.

Indelible · Mar 15, 2016

So this bundle will be close to $700 in Canada right?

Really hoping Sony goes big with Best Buy (most reasonable choice??) and gets demo stations up all over.

Boke1879 said:

Agreed. Take the loss and bring more people in.

Edit: I'm sorry Boke1879, I misread.

loaf of bread · Mar 15, 2016

Will probably be around $449-59

The camera is only like 40 dollars now and the move controllers are only like 25 bucks each. I'm sure they'll give a bit of a discount.

Yeah, if any mainstream press picks this up, they'll just be talking about $399.99 rather than any other price. They won't dig any deeper as per usual.

Yeah this is something they need to do.

My PS Move has Start and Select buttons. They're on the sides, almost hidden.

Truly stunned by this news.

Lingitiz said:

People will say that anyway. They should have announced it a the show as a headset only version and a everything in the box version. It just looks shady holding back sharing this info with prospective buyers who aren't all going to be people clued in.

Isn't consumer choice what Sony was hitting MS over the head with.

Hale-XF11 · Mar 15, 2016

They should offer a straight up $800 bundle that gets you a PS4 + PSVR + camera + 2 Move controllers.

Elandyll · Mar 15, 2016

Choice is good, glad they offer both options.

Announcing the standalone first was smart, avoids the unnecessary sticker shock when you can buy the camera separately for cheap months before investing in PSVR if you're tight ($44 and probably less on ebay).

Hale-XF11 said:

I could see that. An "all included' bundle, the rest being " a la carte".

Oh, I should probably take these things out of the box at some point before VR gets here!

AncientDiety · Mar 15, 2016

People are grossly exaggerating the camera issue, you can get them as cheap as 20 bucks on sale.

Yes they do.

NinjamicWZ · Mar 15, 2016

Hopefully Move will be put back in circulation, so you can get them by themselves without hawking listings for stuff that doesn't look like it was submerged in Jersey for the last 3 years.

I've said this already.

BahamutPT · Mar 15, 2016

This was obvious. Let the presentation focus on the base product. Announce accessory bundles after.
PS4 price/date reveal was the same: 2-controller/camera/game bundles announced later post-conference.

Deadstar said:
Uh...no thanks. I already own a camera and two move controllers. Why would I want another camera?

? Did you read this thread at all? A 399$ headset exists, this is about a Bundle with the camera +moves. That poster isn't saying that this Bundle should be the only one available, just that it should be procedimento at 450

Move controllers have start and select buttons. They work as share and options. That's what people told me at PSVR GDC thead.

Living Proof · Mar 15, 2016

I've got at least one Move along with the PS4 camera. Hopefully the Move doesn't get any kind of significant changes or I'll feel compelled to grab another one.

Mathieran · Mar 15, 2016

Alright I cancelled my camera order on Amazon. Hopefully will pay off.
