They'd be fools not to price and date with Oculus and HTC out with their headsets in a couple of weeks, waiting till E3 is way too long. Just can't see it.

 

[Trago]

The headset would be bundled with the camera right?

 

[Movalpolos]

Good idea. Doesn't charge cc until it ships right?

Yup.

 

[FHIZ]

...I'm already refreshing the amazon page out of habit. Turn one click on. I'm ready.

 

[skelekey]

$249.

$349 with move and camera.

A man can dream.

So as I thought the venue itself is not well suited to a live stream.

 

[Jeremy]

Not getting too excited about a price but maybe a generalized release date.

 

[Nafai1123]

Just remembered I made an avatar bet about the price with border. Let's go $299.99 base SKU!

So as I thought the venue itself is not well suited to a live stream.

~300 press people there.

 

[xenorevlis]

So no podcast is livestreaming right now? Is there a way to do text to voice on one of the liveblogs? Argh

 

[Pai Pai Master]

There will probably be a bundle SKU with the camera yes

 

[jaypah]

I still bet on 349. Come on Sony! Kill 'em all!

That's a healthy attitude, lol. I hope it's cheap enough to grow the VR market so that none of them is "killed".

 

[DjRalford]

I'm on the no price until E3 side. That said, I hope they reveal the price just so we know it and can finally move on with the discussion.

I would have thought the price will come out today, perhaps not a solid release date but definitely a price.

 

[cm osi]

i say 449

 

[XxRampage07xX]

My body is ready. Let's see if you can impress me, Sony.

 

[Dabanton]

If the price is high better to get it all out now and let the anger subside for release.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

 

[MassiveNights]

$379

 

[DavidDesu]

Surely someone can sneakily stream some audio at least..?!

 

[Serick]

$399.99 with move and camera $349.99 for just the headset.

Spoiler

I can dream can't I?

[Rainer70]

There's no reason not to have a headset only SKU. And I don't think the headset alone will cost significantly more than the Vita did at launch.

 

[lightning2k3]

Just be $399 or lower!

 

[CarbonFire]

$349 for HMD + Camera....make it happen Sony!

 

[falconxcrunner09]

I spy a KF Tim Gettys and Greg Miller!


And our boy Colin M

 

[LiK]

hope the price is lower than Rift

 

[joeblow]

For anyone who thinks there will be no price and date announced, what would Sony's angle be for doing that? The details of the competitors have already been announced.

 

[FrunkQ]

[Carl]

I'm on the no price until E3 side. That said, I hope they reveal the price just so we know it and can finally move on with the discussion.

Vive and Oculus are releasing between now and E3, surely they can't wait til June to give their price.

Thank you!

 

[FlashFlooder]

Bout to take flight, going dark for 2 hours....

Don't disappoint me Sony. $299 for your drop the mic moment. $349 if you want mass market adoption. $399 if you simply hope to dominate the VR warz.

Also, release it soon please.

 

[yyr]

It will be $399. Any higher would be suicide, any lower and they'd likely take a big loss.

This is not the high-end PC market.

 

[Markitron]

My guess is 399 with a 499 option incl all the extras.

Just remembered I made an avatar bet about the price with border. Let's go $299.99 base SKU!

How bad will your new Avatar be? Cos I reckon you are gonna lose that bet.

 

[DjRalford]

Spoiler

Last Guardian PSVR version.

And a VR shenmue 3

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Final prediction:

$299 Headset + Camera

$399 Headset + Camera + Move Set + Game

I can hear the salsa jazz fusion tap-tap-tap jams in my head.

 

[LuuKyK]

Pachter is predicting a 499 price and release in October (on twitter).

[AncientDiety]

This is exciting, no matter what happens, price or no price you get the feeling we are on the verge of something new and exciting.,

 

[jett]

I doubt they'll be announcing a price at a presentation that isn't even being streamed.

 

[Carl]

Playstation - Happy #GDC! Stay tuned - we'll have a few updates to share shortly.

Must be saying something then

 

[Trago]

Final prediction:

$299 Headset + Camera

$399 Headset + Camera + Move Set + Game

The base bundle has to come with a pack-in game.

 

[DieH@rd]

I hope they will show how PS4 OS will work when PSVR is connected [both on HDTV and inside headset].

As for pricing... I will go with $249 base SKU, and 100$ more for camera & move bundle.

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

It's going to be in the 399-499 bucks range.
