Any idea of the cost breakdown of the HMZ?

Wouldn't the headset need a lightbar?
Expensive, probably around $499-699.
but how will it work with people with glasses
I've used the oculus with glasses. Not a problem.
Considering it's a very specialized proprietary display, there's no way to tell. What we do know is that the reason the Oculus Rift is so cheap is because it's so simple. It's a mass manufactured mobile display paired with simple lenses and a motion sensor.
No not really but is interesting he basically tweeted to Shu Yoshida ans said to him that he would love to support it in volume if it is true.

Well thats the wonderful thing about a console with options and not having a peripheral forced onto the consumer. If you're not interested then you don't have to pay for the device up front with the console, it isn't tacked on. It's a win-win situation if true.

If this is true.....
Giga Ton!!!!
It won't even matter if they sell it now. Just showing it will kill xbone sales.

It seems like the kind of thing that would be totally synergistic with Move, actually.
Then just ignore it. It won't be required.
The DualShock turned out all right I think.

Very off topic.

wow, so this confirms why Bithell took his oculus rift to PS offices like 10 months ago; and that Dan tweet... Damn, i think Sony is partnering with Oculus if not buying it...
MEGATON.
MEGATON.
Well I hope so.
Would hate to have a game come out that I would love to play, but be on a gimmicky device like this. (Can't even believe I'm using this term after I've disagreed with hundreds of people calling the Wii a gimmick as one example. :-/ )
Crimson Dragon for Kinect immediately comes to mind as an old school Sega fan.
Nine hundred and ninety nine US Dollars
The hell?
Stop getting upset over nothing.
Games will be made specifically for it just like there were for Move etc.
But this will not take away from the other games you would have been playing if the headset did not exist.
I cant believe you would get worked up over something that hasn't even been announced.

Guarantee they've got their own prototype kicking around. They could always partner with Oculus Rift too.
Obviously the VR headset won't be releases this year so the device will always be optional. They'll probably opt for a "better with VR" type of marketing.

The one sad thing - my most wanted game for this would be a real Elder Scrolls game, but they seem to be focused on that lame-o looking online one for the time being
Oculus Rift isn't included with PC purchase. It matters.
It will be a harder pill to swallow though imo because they are already forcing one accessory on you.
Sony has forced nothing so getting an optional add on of your choice doesn't sound too bad.

Bethesda is making TES VI in secret. Zenimax Online is doing TESO. They aren't making the BioWare mistake of calling TESO "TES 6,7,8,9,10".
Mhh interesting,
another hint for OR would be Sony Online Entertainment. They have hinted OR support for Planetside 2 and Everquest next like with this:
Planetside2:

Everquest Next:

Would sound stupid if you need different devices to play Planetside2 and EQN in VR on two different Platforms (If EQN comes to PS4) ^^
I really don't see why Sony needs to do this. Why waste R&D finances on a VR headset that will more than likely only work with the PS4. If the Oculus is a success, which I hope it is, I'm not going to buy a dedicated headset for the PS4.
MS & Sony should just make the Oculus compatible with both next gen systems, plus it'll work on PC as well.

Famousmortimer in the other thread basically it is NOT the Rift, and Sony's VR kit has been in development before the Rift was announced.
Being he has been good on Sony info, I think everyone needs to check their "Rift Hype on PS4." This is going to be a Sony based, proprietary technology.

I read a Kotaku post, one of their writers had it on for hours. The results, as he said, were cool at first, but it does not work for hours for the mind and body. He did complain about a few gameplay control quirks that may have contributed. Either way, don't expect it VR, even in it's current state to be a flawless experience.

I can't help but think this is the device that will finally break Sony's positive run since E3. I don't think Sony understands why VR never worked before and how to resolve it in the way the OR team did. HMZ revision 3.0, nice and light, super pretty OLED, and still a boat load of lag.

And me!. Poor dualpixels web page omni view rumor...funnily they could end up being right!.
But the standard VR Helmet and the OR are pretty different.

Your thoughts were mine, until I tried a 1080p set from Ocolus at gamescom...

This is a neat idea, but is destined to be a commercial failure.

Maybe PS4 production is going really well and so they have green lighted the VR glasses to go all in.
Yeah, this isn't 2005 Sony.
