[rjinaz]

Yeah the only thing I don't like is that the camera is seperate. If it's required it should be included especially since one does not come with the PS4.

 

[ramparter]

200$ too much for my tastes.

 

[paulogy]

Does the breakout box double as a camera?

I'm glad I won't be paying for an extra one, I'm just surprised there isn't a second SKU that includes camera (and/or move controllers).

 

[MDSLKTR]

Have a camera since ps4 launch and a move since killzone 3 came out, just let me preorder this sony

 

[Dinjooh]

Ok.
So headset, plus ps4 camera, plus move?
And you can just get 2 of the extra seperate move controllers correct?

Again, move is not required.

But yes, you can go out and buy 2 move controllers from wherever right now and it'll work.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Does the breakout box double as a camera?

lol no.

499 with camera and 2 moves? That would be great. Also expecting ps4 bundle at 799.

Actually...I'm not entirely sure how great that deal is considering the headset is likely tied to the PS4 hardware.

Did they mention whether or not the headset would work with future PlayStations? $400 is a lot to drop on a console that is half way through its lifespan already with no guarantees it will be forward-compatible with the PS5. That would certainly make me feel better about a PSVR purchase.

Again, move is not required.

It doesn't matter if it's REQUIRED or not. People will want to buy them because Move controllers will provide a proper Room VR experience. You'll get them and everyone else will want to as well, just like with the Oculus.

 

[Thewonandonly]

Are pre orders up?????

Want this and need this day one

 

[Bitch Pudding]

There were quite a number of people hoping for $299 and lower.

Of course there were, but Sony still found a sweet spot, as a cheap(er) solution would have affected the VR experience quite badly.

I am pretty sure that you will have to pre-order one if you want to use it as a Christmas present. At least in Germany, that is.

 

[Hasney]

Okay where's the price including headset, camera, and Move controllers Sony? I need to know so that I can pre-order the package.

Can't see it being less than an extra $100, maybe they'll chuck an extra game in there.

Most likely going to be cheaper to grab them before the price of Moves jack back up, which I already did.

 

[CorrisD]

I am fine with the price, but for £349 I would have expected the camera to be in there as well.

 

[takoyaki]

Great price!

couldn't watch it live on Periscope, what does this mean:

Will those games have VR modes or only cinema mode?

 

[SephLuis]

Do I need to buy PS Camera for this to work ? Or just the $400 is enough ?

 

[Digital-Hero]

$699 + for entry.

 

[MUnited83]

Lol@ not including the camera. How cheap can you be?

 

[AncientDiety]

Too much for the second- to third-rate experience this combined with the PS4 will provide but we gotta start somewhere.

Did you try it? Impressions have been excellent. This is not too expensive for new tech at launch.

 

[PR_rambo]

I paid that much for a PS4 day one knowing full well I'd get hours upon hours of enjoyment out of it. I don't feel so sure about VR. I don't think I can just buy it on potential alone.

 

[DrFunk]

Price is about right, for VR. LOL @ some of you thinking $299. Guess I'll bite

 

[HooYaH]

If Sony was smart, they'll release PS4 slim with a camera for $299 this holiday.

 

[CraigerGamer]

When do preorders go live??

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Any word on the amount of space between the pixels? I feel like that's a much bigger deal than the actual resolution.

 

[LiK]

where's that app to check if my PC is compatible? Kappa

 

[Enordash]

Hmm, $399 with no camera/controllers or packed-in games isn't really all that much cheaper. I suppose total cost considering PC/PS4 is reasonably cheaper though.

 

[Karak]

Again, move is not required.

But yes, you can go out and buy 2 move controllers from wherever right now and it'll work.

I need a setup that is just going to work regardless of title

 

[Huggers]

I'm sure the price is fair but it's a little too high at £350 for me to jump in. Will watch how it develops over time.

 

[Ocelott]

Do you need the Camera at all?

 

[Nzyme32]

I can easily afford this, but it is not worth more that £250 me. £100 too expensive.


i think £149 is when the rest of the UK will buy into it.


i will check prices this time next year.

For £349 i want PC compatibility.

This is the start of getting these headsets out. Prices will drop over time. No harm in waiting a while

 

[Zombie James]

So like $599 CAD then

The dollar's slowly picking back up. Up seven cents since mid-January!

 

[TheJoRu]

Uhh...no camera included? It's a decent price regardless, but this is not a $399 product. Good marketing trick though, Sony.

 

[valkillmore]

$399 this is good very good!

 

[SolidSnakex]

Great price!

couldn't watch it live on Periscope, what does this mean:


Will those games have VR modes or only cinema mode?

Those games have nothing to do with VR. He mentioned them as games that'll be launching this year and that the PS4 is the best place to play.

 

[ChronotriggerJM]

Just to be sure, we're positive this isn't shipping with the camera?

 

[SOLDIER]

So besides the camera, are you going to need the Move and the Nunchuck? Or two Moves?

Fortunately I already have the camera, Move and Nunchuck. I'm hoping I'm good to go.

 

[IcyRhythms]

200$ too much for my tastes.

And that's why it will fail. Sony has a horrible history with pricing(and failing)on things that aren't the PlayStation console itself. Well, we could talk about the PS3, but that's for a different conversation.

 

[Moon_frogger]

I will get a second job to afford this. Who needs car insurance?!?

 

[PodcastFips]

$699 + for entry.

Do you know how to calculate?

 

[Rebel Leader]

So wee need the camera... are the move wands necessary aswell?

 

[Sweep14]

If 399 included the camera I would be down for day 1. I dunno, let's see

Camera is 30

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I'm guessing at least $500.

And if they do a complete bundle including a PS4 console itself, that likely ends up close to $800.

Which would actually be close to that silly Amazon Canada price from a few months ago as $800 USD is a bit over $1050 CAD.

 

[3AD101]

Knew it.

Lol at ppl saying $499

No Move controllers

No camera.

I have those so it is $399 for me.

 

[AncientDiety]

Lol@ not including the camera. How cheap can you be?

Holy shit...they will most likely announce a bundle with the camera....it makes sense...what about people who already have one? No need to include the camera in every bundle.

 

[Venom Fox]

Well, I was expecting exactly this price, but for a complete package with Move controllers.

How? Seriously? I asked a few pages ago but the thread is on fire so...

Are Rift and Occulus extremely over priced in your opinion?

 

[Windforce]

Is the move controller mandatory?

Nice price.

 

[shandy706]

I think it's hilarious people are calling this expensive.


For VR, and what may be pretty good VR...this is cheap as dirt guys.


Also, you can get a camera and move for like $30-$35 TOTAL for both if you go used.

Less than $50 gets you BOTH new.

 

[tensuke]

And we have a VR winner. Sony is killing it this generation.

Way way way too early to declare that.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Cheap, day one for sure if the games are there.

 

[Herr Starr]

Did they mention whether or not the headset would work with future PlayStations? $400 is a lot to drop on a console that is half way through its lifespan already with no guarantees it will be forward-compatible with the PS5. That would certainly make me feel better about a PSVR purchase.

There's no way they'd make anything resembling a promise about a potentially future Playstation at this point. It might or might not work, but if we get a PS5 and if that console supports VR, expect a new version of the PSVR to be released for it, leaving this one either incompatible or compatible but with lower quality.

 

[zewone]

if Amazon has the 20% reduction on this, I might partake.

 

[whyman]

Too expensive. Would have been ok if camera and controllers were included. Will wait for 399 for the complete package.

 

[alr1ght]

Peripherals that don't include everything needed to to work always do super duper well.

 

[bebop242]

Yeah the only thing I don't like is that the camera is seperate. If it's required it should be included especially since one does not come with the PS4.

Yep this is going to be a problem.
