This is a similar price to the recent PSVR v2 sales that have been happening occasionally. Looking forward to seeing what the new sale prices end up being, could be interesting around Black Friday...

Awesome!

I've had a Vive for a while now. It's good to see VR getting a foothold/bigger userbase. It can only help everyone interested in VR in the long run regardless of what platform people buy.

Wait, there's a v2?

 

[gustave154]

Wow this is unexpected. Sony is going all in with VR now

 

[Leonidas]

Wait, there's a v2?

v2 models are the newer ones with HDR pass-through, the original models lacked that feature making it a hassle to use HDR on your TV while PSVR is connected...

At $300 it's still very much an enthusiast only device. Maybe if it drops to $200 during a sale then I'd consider.

 

[teresa]

Wonderful! this is unforeseen. Sony is betting everything with VR now and v2 models are the more up to date ones with HDR go through, the first models did not have that component making it a problem to utilize HDR on your television while PSVR is associated...

Read an interesting thing concerning on best gaming CPU

The standard bundle does not include Moves, right?
They could offer a sale bundle for $/€249 that includes those.

The Skyrim bundle includes them.

They must know Microsoft are gonna reveal their VR plans this year so they're trying to undercut and get a bigger user base while they still can.. Haha jk! I've been holding off on psvr because of price, I might actually consider this now during a sale depending on what happens at E3.

VR is still not worthwhile investment as content is minimal, and buy in day 1 price it outrageously too high

Ah, well I'm hoping for the premium quality screen or whatever. Probably going to be a long wait for it.

Well they have hololens. Cost about $3000 for devs. No consumer price yet.

I still say the same thing about the switch. (600 canadian rupees to play zelda is too much for me)

But... 150+ games (not apps or experiences) with even more on the way is nothing to sniff at.

 

[gspat]

Must be missing something, no edit feature?

Wipeout is awesome in VR! Much better looking than I was expecting.

One of the few games I've had the twinge with, but it's very minor.

 

[megatronium]

Wish this was a ps4pro drop

 

[LucidFeuer]

This is odd considering a PSVR2 is at least a year away, unless they're targetting late 2018 which might not be the smartest move if they release the next PS4 iteration in 2019.

But this tells a lot about both it's success and how cheap it is to manufacture, it's really a shame that it needs the bulk of the break-out box....
