I think the only thing we can reasonably say about the price is that it's less than USD 600

Lol no. Same as a console. They did not mean PS3.

Pretty specific for a placeholder. 
Lots of us in the Canada deals thread got a pre-order in for it yesterday while the listing was live and they were cancelled an hour later
No way I intended to actually pay that price, but it was clearly a placeholder and Amazon have been known to mess up pre-order pricing, so it was worth a shot

And people called me crazy for saying it would be $500 USD.

Sony waiting for pricing of all other VR sets so they can walk onto a stage: "$299" and walk off.
Also, I could see a silly bundle with the PSVR bundled with the move equipment needed and a 1TB (maybe even 2TB?) PS4 for $800 for the full experience.
Basically $300 for PSVR, $400 with the move bundle and a game or two, plus the 1TB PS4.

You ARE crazy. Read the op.

Some people are so eager to see VR fail that they'll pretend this price point is not obviously bullshit

You should probably wait until a price is announced before trying to serve crow.

I read the OP. I still think it will be $500 OR vastly inferior to the Rift in terms of performance.

If it were true then it's essentially the same price as Occult Rift.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
I feel like we are doomed
You read and yet you are trying to serve crow for something that was denied.

I like Rez, but I don't like Rez that much.
They are called Forbes. And the link was posted here yesterday, too. Everyone here said it was a placeholder, the date was 12/31. Sony says it was an error by Amazon. So what's there to discuss in this thread?

Did you even attempt to read the op
They already gave clear hints in the past interviews!
Yoshida said it has to be affordable otherwise it won't work:

House said they're treating it as a new platform meaning that it won't be a cheap add-on like Move but it will be priced similarly to a console. PS4 launched at 399$, PS1 and PS2 launched at 299$. PS3 at 599$ like Oculus and it was huge failure for them.
They know that everything above 400$ is doa (actually to me even at 400$ is doa but that's an other matter
)

Either your maths is below sub par, or you are trolling. It's double that and some.

I'm so looking forward to that price and date.
Where are the insiders at? Boyes please give us some hint...

$565 US actually. But I very much doubt the PS VR will cost that much. My guess is it will come a good degree under.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
You are aware you didn't read the article right.

No, but it makes good bait apparently.

It's not fake. The price is probably not legitimate though.
The price of a Kutaragi console :3

We now know the PSVR can't be exactly $800
it wasn't fake, a bunch of us were able to pre-order

Honestly, since Amazon has that "Lowest price guarantee", is it too farfetched to say they put up a price to have the item open for pre-orders?

Here is the screen cap from Neuromancer yesterday as this was discussed. This price converts almost exactly to $800 USD based on the spot exchange rate.

How are people still not understanding this? Lol, it's $800 US.
I would be shocked if they charged anywhere near that much.

I admit defeat, I cannot and did not read.Can no one read the article or look at the image I posted? It was $800 USD.

First and foremost, Sony hasn't exactly proven to know the understanding of the common man's definition of "affordable" in the history of their business, especially when coming out with cutting or bleeding edge technology.
Secondly, Sony said they will be pricing it like a new console, but they didn't say it will be priced like their previous consoles. They will price it as they see fit, and if they believe they have forefront technology, they won't sell it at a discount.
This is not to say that Sony is charging $800 for the PSVR, but to show that, just like Palmer Lucky, you can't just accept clues to what a company says as truth before a company announces a price.

Is it just me or are all these high price scare stories just for buttering up everyone when PS VR comes in at $350/$400?
I know Vita didn't do has expected but IIRC there were rumours/expectations before the price reveal of it being up to $400.
It wasn't that long ago that Sony nearly imploded with the $599 PS3 and I'm surprised they've committed to what will be at least $800 for a PS4/VR combo.
