[dragn]

lol no thanks, waiting for better ones with higher resolution/fov

 

[wapplew]

How much if you take out the sensor and Xbox controller?

 

[Wanchan]

That's a lot, even with the included Xbox one controller...

 

[SJRB]

Holy shit..

 

[wenis]

I hope this "future of gaming" will fail, too expensive for a few games that will use it.

So because you can't afford something it deserves to fail?

Ok.

 

[Loris146]

Holy shit

 

[StrawberryKikwi]

Can't believe they're trying to push this price on the mainstream without a killer app. People will buy it at that price, but the content need to be there.

 

[Paznos]

lol, no way.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Good thing Palmer was getting people prepared for the high price. It will be interesting to see how much the other VR's cost.

 

[Jb]

I remember hearing Chris Kohler saying this would have mass-market appeal.... Not at this price point.

 

[Hristi]

That's absurd! I'm sure its gonna be more expensive if it manage to hit my country. I guess no VR in 2016 for me then.

 

[PeterLegend]

Too cheap, should be $999

 

[Amir0x]

That sucks. I desperately want this to take off, because my experiences with the device have been the most mind blowing game experiences of my life.

But at 600 dollars, even I'll wait.

 

[emb]

Hope the price drops down hard after a couple years.

As someone without much money, without a high end PC right now, and without a rift... the investment I'd have to make to use this thing is scary.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I am... not surprised!

 

[Justinh]

damn, I was hoping for 500 at most.

 

[CryptiK]

Yeah. So much for getting VR off the ground. That price...

 

[rauelius]

So, we're gonna give this VR thing a shot again in 2026 right guys?

 

[LouisaFerre]

I saw that they didn't announce the price when they announced the pre-order date, and I said to myself "It's going to be 600 dollars like the PS3".

I knew it. I fucking knew it.

I'm willing to pay 600 for the best VR experience but Oculus obviously isn't the only decent competitor, so there's no reason for me to latch onto that.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

RIP VR. We hardly knew ye.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

lol whats the UK price?

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Sites down now, well is for me anyway. Accidental leak or a pricing mistake and they took it down to correct it ?

Ouch, if it really is $599.

 

[BigTnaples]

Who thought this was going to be cheap?


This price is spot on. I figured anywhere from 450-600.


It's fucking virtual reality.

 

[Koutsoubas]

Τοο expensive. Wont bother at least for 2 years.

 

[Exile20]

woooooof. something tells me PSVR is going to cost more than a PS4 if this thing is $599.

Aren't console accessories typically more expensive than their pc counterparts?

 

[gdt]

Boom! I'm still down!

Do they charge immediately or when it's shipped like Amazon?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Well...Looks like PSVR has a chance to lock this down.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Lucky already made his money, so, sure, why the fuck not? Is probably what he was thinking.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

I am going to fucking die laughing if Sony launches the PSVR for $400 or less.

 

[killroy87]

Hope the price drops down hard after a couple years.

As someone without much money, without a high end PC right now, and without a rift... the investment I'd have to make to use this thing is scary.

Sounds like PS VR is the product for you.

 

[chrominance]

If I had a time machine I would use it to tell myself to buy the DK1 via Kickstarter. ~$350 CAD versus $850 CAD. Christ on a stick.

 

[Kyuur]

About what I was expecting, unfortunately CAD exchange rate means I can't take it at that price. :| Not for a while at least, maybe later this year. More software then too.

Also lol @ people saying "PSVR!!!!" when the price for that hasn't even been announced yet. Obviously it will be cheaper, but we have no idea by how much. I'm guessing in the 400-500 range.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Why wouldn't you announce the price beforehand? Seems quite strange to allow for the price to be revealed in this manner.

 

[Nzyme32]

Hahaha. And will the UK price be cheaper? No.

Fuck off will it. I'm out.

Yeah this will be a concern. Anyone doing poor conversions is out in my book, as always. Not that I plan to go through the first gen of VR anyway.

 

[AstroNut325]

I see Sony offering a PS4+PSVR bundle for $599.

 

[Spaghetti]

JEEEESUS

higher than i expected.

 

[klaushm]

Well, let's see what will be the price for Vive and PSVR.

Hope it's a situation like XBO and PS4 price announcements again.
But... to be real with myself, I'm expecting $ 599 from Sony now :/

I see Sony offering a PS4+PSVR bundle for $599.

What about PS4 slim + PSVR for $599? It's time, right?

 

[therealminime]

So I presume that means it's a cool $850 in Canada. Nice. I look forward to buying one in 3 years.

 

[Sjefen]

How much do a PC neccessary to run OR cost?

 

[backflip10019]

VR had a good run.

 

[ILoveBish]

Rip oculus.

 

[SlimySnake]

AHAHAHAAHAHA. This is PS3 levels of stupid. I was ready to preorder but this is $300 more than what I expected.

PASS.

Remember, this is on top of a $1000 investment in a gaming PC with a GTX970. This is basically aimed at gaming enthusiast. Good job Mark Zuckerberg. You done fucked up.

Now I am stuck with Sony VR. Fuck!

 

[Raylan]

I..... expected an even higher price. Like $799. After all the "it's gonna be expensive... blablah". Of course only the hardcore gamers are in for it. $599 is okay-ish, imho.

 

[Liamc723]

Oculus Rift is dead on arrival then.

Cya VR!

 

[komplanen]

Let's hope Vive and PS VR get the price down

 

[daveo42]

Yup. Exactly what I expected. Now we wait for those reactions.

 

[water_wendi]

Yeah.. no. i was prepared to spend $1k total to do computer upgrades and get OR but its just too much right now. ill come to it in a couple years.

 

[CryptiK]

Yeah. So much for getting VR off the ground. That price... yikes.
