The 800$ is a rumor started by Sony to make whatever price they choose look better.

 

[OnionPowder]

I'm starting to think that you get off from the collective "whyyyyyyyyyyyyy" posts regarding your postscript.

PS3UD0 WE KNOW IT'S YOU, YOUR NAME IS RIGHT THERE

Hey man let ps3ud0 do him and you do you

[Brofield]

$800 is a damn hard price to swallow, even for CDN. But with the exchange it's nearly $1,200?

🙅🙅🙅
ntyvm

 

[Gtagentleman]

I dont think Sony is stupid enough to make it $800 and actually try to sell it.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Lol no way it's $800.

Lmfao I say the same thing at times but I just say oh well. I'll let him be.

 

[……forgetit]

$800? Maybe for a full bundle with the PS4 lol

 

[Hoje0308]

Am I the only one who would not be shocked if PSVR does end up costing more than Occulus? I mean, after all Sony has to provide you with extra processing power to get their headset to work, whereas Occulus wants you to be responsible for having a PC powerful enough to run VR. I could see, all things being equal, the extra processing power that Sony is shipping along with their headset making it a couple hundred dollars more than Occulus, which is still nothing compared to what the average person would have to pay to upgrade their PC to run VR.

Yes, you would be. The breakout box is not going to add another couple hundred dollars to the price tag, because it does not do what you think it does.

What does it do, and what does it cost to manufacture?

 

[Rival]

$800 would be crazy. It would instantly be dead. Im starting to really wonder about the potential for success of these things.

 

[True Fire]

$800 is probably the Canadian price

 

[The Lamonster]

Come on with these thread titles. This is just like "No Man's Sky launches 3/3!"

Anyway...I'm excited for the details but holy shit @ $800. I'll believe that when it comes from the horse's mouth.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Next week....

K.

 

[The Libertine]

Ah the Daily Mail, you can probably disregard anything that comes from that disgusting rag. Next week they will probably be blaming VR for creating terrorists.

 

[TalonJH]

I have a hard time believing they will do a "Now available in stores". Also, they just took that price from that last rumor of the price on Amazon Canada.

 

[Polk]

Next week....

K.

Well, next weeks is GDC so that make sense they will announce details.

 

[Spirited]

Sounds about right, fits right in with the price of other HMDs

 

[jabberwocker]

$800 is probably the Canadian price

Thats still $600 US unless that includes the console that number probably isnt correct. But also seems too low to include the console.

 

[jaypah]

Sweet got my $800 ready and I already took the whole week off. Can't wait!!!

 

[Hoje0308]

What does it do, and what does it cost to manufacture?

It takes the VR image and displays it on your television. It may also be responsible for frame interpolation. No idea about cost, but there's no way in hell PSVR releasing at a price higher than Oculus. Give it a week and we'll find out more.

 

[CyberPunked]

Lol, that price is total bullshit.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

It's a joke

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

This entire article reads like someone at daily mail figured out weeks later that there is an event next week and inferred from that this is the big kickoff for PSVR, then google price rumors.

 

[sonto340]

$800? Lol no thanks.

 

[cheesekao]

What does it do, and what does it cost to manufacture?

All the breakout box does is it un-warps the image and displays it on your tv and does 3d-audio processing. Nothing else.

 

[GeoramA]

Bullshit. It better be at least half that for me to even consider one.

 

[Hoje0308]

$800? Lol no thanks.

Wait, are you actually taking the article seriously?

 

[Hissing Sid]

Oh man, The Daily Mail! I wouldn't use it to wipe my arse on.

Just can't see it costing that much.

 

[down 2 orth]

Very excited for this, even if a potentially outrageous price tag means I won't be buying it at launch.

 

[Sethista]

Daily Mail?

Why the fuck?

$800 would include a PS4.

I can see this. 800 with 2 ps move controllers, a set of free games and the PSVR.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

It must be true because I read it on the Daily Mail

 

[Alebrije]

The 800$ is a rumor started by Sony to make whatever price they choose look better.

 

[Acquiescence]

The 800$ is a rumor started by Sony to make whatever price they choose look better.

$799 it is then.

 

[dragonflys545]

LOL $800... See you when you hit around $400

 

[5amshift]

$800? Are they at least trying to fake something..

 

[Portugeezer]

Lol no

 

[Ninja Sharingan]

I dont think Sony is stupid enough to make it $800 and actually try to sell it.

No way! not anymore, they have a great team that knows what they are doing with hardware. There's no chance.

 

[Trago]

No way in hell. I didn't think this thing would be cheap, but not 800 bucks. $400 max.

 

[JumpCancel]

Maybe its $800 Zimbabwean dollars. That's the detail the Daily Mail got wrong.

Hell I'd even taken CAD dollars.

 

[Shifty1897]

800? If that's true I'll be sure to pick one up in 2026 for $50.

 

[halfbeast]

PSVR is available in stores... right now!

it already launched! in fact, it's standing right behind you!

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

At least The Daily Mail makes for a beautiful song

 

[Steejee]

Take anything the Daily Fail says is true and presume the opposite is the reality.

If they told me what my name was I'd have to go double check my license and birth certificate.

 

[Alucrid]

Maybe Sony actually has control of the global markets and plans to crash Canada's economy even more so that the 1125 cad is equal to 400 usd

 

[Spiritwalker]

I doubt it'll be higher than $599

 

[KyleCross]

I bet people are already making YouTube videos on this.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

It's either going to be ~$300 and I might actually try it, or this rumo(u)r is correct and I'll have to get all my enjoyment from rereading this thread instead

 

[Kholdy]

$800? If they're trying to murder it that's a nice price point I guess...

 

[viHuGi]

$800 is probably the Canadian price

LOOL i cant hahaha

 

[Slayer-33]

Two and a half jobs worth

 

[Death Metalist]

I wish it turns out to be 800$ so I could see the reactions.

Spoiler

It probably isn't though.
