Support NeoGAF

[MikeyB]

Nothing. I do not want it.

 

[Handy Fake]

 

[BeforeU]

200 sounds about right at launch. Then 150ish during discount and sale time.

 

[SmokedMeat]

$200, but that's only if there's a ton of support from third parties.

 

[BadHand]

Well if it's successful I'll pay up to $250.

But I'll need to wait a few months to see if it catches on. I got burnt on the move.

 

[Ocaso]

I'd buy at launch if $300 or less, assuming adequate software support. While $199 is a more reasonable price for mass adoption, hardware launches are about early adopters who will accept a premium price, so I don't think it's a realistic price point to expect.

 

[HUELEN10]

Exactly.

 

[Servbot24]

I dunno. I feel like it would just be a novelty that I would use on a couple games and then put away. I don't think I'd be likely to buy it at any price.

 

[TI82]

349.99 is what I see it as with controllers. As for me, even after eventually getting a PS4, I would not buy it; wrong way to do immersion IMO and it's just not for me.

How would you do immersion?

 

[JP]

Not sure to be honest. I am interested in it but I need to be convinced by Sony that it's still going to be relevant five years down the line.

 

[Handy Fake]

Nothing. I do not want it.

Do you text answer C - I DON'T KNOW into TV phone polls as well?

 

[JordanN]

You're emailing this thread to Kaz Hirai, right?

How much I would pay, just make it like PS4. Stuff the most powerful parts in it while being the cheapest VR product on the market.

 

[Business]

300 eur.

 

[Usobuko]

I have to see how much oculus cost first.

But if I were to give a number now, $200 is my sweet spot.

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

£250 so whatever that works out to in US funny money, once we take off our 20% VAT it would work out around $300.

I'd be happy with paying that for something new.

 

[Guevara]

If it's really as cool as people say VR is, works for a bunch of games, maybe $300.

 

[Huw_Dawson]

If it's good?

Up to £300.

Given that it's trying to run intensive VR programs on a far weaker machine than the expected platform for the Rift, though, I'm not optimistic.

 

[Stilton Disco]

150 quid sounds fair. £200 including the camera I guess.

Thankfully I already have a couple of move controllers too, which will be useful and save me a bit.

 

[MrS]

Money is not an issue, but I need to see a killer app first.

This.

 

[fastest finger]

Already got Camera and Move, I'd buy day one for anything under 250.

But, I've got a horrible feeling it's going to launch at a prohibitively high price, especially for those needing the extra bits.

With PS4 I feel they provided a good level of technology at a price as fair as possible, so I have faith, but looking at prices of other add-ons gives cause for concern.

 

[Piercedveil]

Not more than $100 probably. I'm basing this number off what I believe the final product will be, but I could be surprised and be willing to pay more.

 

[archnemesis]

It depends on how well supported it is. The Eye Camera, Move, and Wonderbook didn't have enough exclusives to win me over.

If it has enough interesting games then I'm willing to pay up to €300.

 

[ironcreed]

I need to try this VR tech before I would commit. And if I liked it? No more than $150. Even then that is a lot to ask for an add-on to the system that I already bought. Which is precisely why I don't think it will be successful unless they can make it even cheaper.

 

[geordiemp]

Around £ 350 if its technically fantastic - depends on the value

already have camera and move etc

 

[Goodacre0081]

$200 for the HMD only. $250 for the kit, (HMD, camera, move controller)

 

[outunderthestars]

$200.

 

[FF Seraphim]

If they want it to sell then I think $199 would be the smart price point. If they do not care about sales at the offset I can see them selling it for $299 because there will be people who will buy it for that price even if it doesn't come out with a decent game.

 

[Danlord]

Realistically I would be fine with a £199.99 price point. £249 might be a bit much to stomach as the highest I'd , so if that was the price there has better be some killer apps to support it from the get go.
I know No Man's Sky will have it, and possibility of Driveclub also. Outlast 2 was confirmed in development so Morpheus support for that a good possibility and an amazing fit for VR. Silent Hills would push viability of that higher price point, Surgeon Simulator confirmed already.

I'd want something unexpected to shock and awe me. I've played and loved DK2 so I'm already in love and support of VR but I want that unexpected revelation for game or even non game to be announced

Also PlayStation Home 2.0. I want OASIS or something similar. Home was profitable, surely they'd continue on PS4 and VR is a perfect fit for it too.

 

[dancmc]

If it's awesome and well supported the price is not the issue for me.

 

[phanphare]

a buck two five or no deal

 

[Skyfireblaze]

250€ at most really as much as I want VR the PS4 was already expensive enough :/

 

[Fbh]

For VR headset I'm willing to pay around $300, depending on the quality.
But I have zero interest in morpheus.


I could se morpheus launching for $200 or $250, with a more expensive option that includies the move controlers

 

[kitschbeam]

0.99

or maybe $200 Max

 

[Bsigg12]

With the camera and move controllers, $300-$350. Just the headset if you already have those, $200-$250.

 

[SeanTSC]

It depends on how good it is. The higher the quality the more I'm willing to pay. And if it's not good enough then no price is low enough. Anywhere between $200-400 would be my price range probably, unless it was absolutely amazing. A sub $200 price would make me severely doubt the quality of it.

 

[FlyingIrishMan]

249 is the best I can see them doing it at.

 

[manzo]

149€ max. Absolutely max.

 

[pr0cs]

$250 if it had at least 2-3 titles worth owning.
If it's 250 plus I have to buy the camera and move controllers and the 2-3 titles I'll probably wait

 

[MattyG]

If it's actually supported in a lot of games? $150-200. I get the feeling it'll be closer to $250-300 though.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

150-200€ max.I don't pay more.

 

[geordiemp]

Biggest danger is they go cheap and its not good.

Then I will buy a gaming PC and a PC VR device. I want a good experience or nothing.

 

[GoldenCrow]

£200 to £250 and it will be preordered before trying it. Any more and it depends upon the content being appealing, the hardware of the device being good and that it appears to be well integrated within the Playstation ecosystem on release.

 

[Socky]

£250 so whatever that works out to in US funny money, once we take off our 20% VAT it would work out around $300.

I'd be happy with paying that for something new.

This seems most realistic to me, and is around what I would pay. Sorry to say I think those expecting ~$200 are dreaming, although I'd love to see it as the more adopters the better for tech like this. I don't see how we can expect parity with Oculus at $200 when Rift dev kits are $350. I expect Morpheus to be $299/£249 or thereabouts, with slightly poorer specs than Oculus.

 

[Voyevoda]

It doesn't matter, for I will die not long after my purchase, playing Silent Hills with the VR headset on.

 

[Derphoof]

about tree fiddy

 

[Seanspeed]

It really depends on the quality, the software lineup and whether it comes with the camera and Move controllers.

I'd like to think $199 is the sweet spot, but if Sony knocks it out of the park and includes all the necessary hardware, I wouldn't balk at paying $299-349.

 

[Mihos]

I need to see content and how it's tethered...

But $200 is probably about right.

 

[Nzyme32]

Considering it's limitations to Playstation only, I'd say maybe £150 tops. If it were more compatible and able to be used in different ecosystems and applications freely, I could go as far as doubling to £300 - but I would have to have confidence in the content and hardware - which I don't for any of the current HMDs and their ecosystems. They need to launch first for me to determine that

 

[ironcreed]

Oh yeah, I forgot to factor in that I need the camera and Move controllers. Even more of a turn off.

 

[hastethedav]

$199 is the magic number.

Will pay $350 max just to experience it if it's worthwhile
