Support NeoGAF

Dat #MediaBias

Why don't you just say SonyGAF? You know you want to.

Because there is this thing call integrity that I like to keep, plus I would not label all of Gaf users by the same brush...
Anyways, those are stupid labels... this is not nearly as simple as what they imply.

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

Should come with 2 games...one with vr and a regular ps4 game.

 

[LAM09]

As expected

 

[travisbickle]

The base version should come with the camera already. It's gonna make a lot of casual early adapters angry when they find out they have to buy another accessory before they can enjoy VR.

The casual early adopter who is going to go into a store ignore the different bundles available, not ask any staff for help and buy the version based on the price they saw from a press event 8 months before release.

 

[The Elite]

Might be cheaper to find used Move controllers now before they sell out and just buy the camera separately.

 

[Fisty]

I wonder if they could redesign the move controller. Just need an analog stick on it for it to be perfect

I always see people say this but I never understood why.

You'd only need one analog stick for VR, which the Nav controller has. Your head is the second analog stick

Casual early adopters. ...Think about what you said.

Plenty of kids will be asking their parents for this.

No bundles for other territories? Seems shady to me.

Did you read the quote? Shu had to push the the other Sony guy to even admit there would be a bundle at all.

The PR people want a clear message of cost.

The HMD costs $399. That's the headline figure they want reported on. That gives a clear message and number for people to remember.

What they don't want to do is complicate that message with:

HMD set + camera
HMD set + camera + Move
HMD set + camera + Move + games

Aside from message clarity, they might not have finished negotiating with retail partners on bundle costs, and so can't announce prices yet as they aren't confirmed.

 

[Barakov]

Imagine the bundle

$499

With Battlefront VR included

(Yes I know it's rogue squadron and it's super fake)

Oh man.... how awesome would that be though?

So, implying SonyGaf but not specifically using the term SonyGaf means you keep your integrity?

 

[kyser73]

But this is a completely separate technology/peripheral years later and requires the part to function. It is not consumers fault Sony decided to make use of a existing pe
ripheral and I can see this going down like a lead balloon. It is a sneaky way to have a lower headline price.

I guess what will happen is that they will do a bundle with the camera and moves thus increasing the real cost to ~£450.

Didn't even read the thread title.

Tell us more about this exciting new group.

Pretty much by definition an early adopter isn't casual.

Sarcasm dude , I was acting like the peeps in the price thread.

 

[TheSlySoul]

If they are smart, they would take a loss on the Move and sell it at $450.
