Day one. Great price, imo. This should be the cheapest way to obtain the full fledged VR experience.

 

[Wagram]

I do believe people really underestimated the cost and quality of VR. The $299 prices at this point seem incredibly unreasonable. Doesn't seem like Sony plans to be eating the cost.

 

[funkystudent]

They arent even bundling the camera for 399?


That seems questionable. Hopefully they have some kind of 499 "all in" bundle

 

[pixxxelz]

That's not too bad, I might actually buy one after all.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

That's actually a cool price.

 

[GameAddict411]

That's much cheaper than the competition. I guess Sony has a bigger chance of bringing VR to the mainstream.

 

[FaintColt388301]

Bob Barker!

Spoiler

The price is right

 

[giancarlo123x]

Day one.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

"With the headset on, users can also go into 'cinematic mode' to see the entire 16:9 PS4 menu and play all of their PS4 games."


Good god day 1 at that price

Huh. I wonder how well it works with FPS games that aren't specifically designed for it.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Lower price than I expected—but it's the price that it needed to be. I still wonder how they're pulling it off.

"With the headset on, users can also go into 'cinematic mode' to see the entire 16:9 PS4 menu and play all of their PS4 games."


Good god day 1 at that price

Sony fucking killing it! $399, October launch and play all our titles...

E3 all over again for me!

 

[shira]

Whats in the box tho??

 

[Ydelnae]

I will wait for a price drop and see if it gets a nice support.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm glad EU don't get fucked up € price because of VAT.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

£100 more than I was expecting. I'm still interested, but I was honestly expecting £249.

 

[kanuuna]

So if I go buy the Move stuff now, do I pick up two wands, or do I get the navigation controller, too? I didn't see the latter anywhere.

 

[Karak]

They arent even bundling the camera for 399?


That seems questionable.

Wait. 399 without the move and camera or with?

 

[AyaisMUsikWhore]

This is a great price. Lots of room for retailers to drop the price with nice deals. Looks like I'm in... Whenever it hits that $249..

 

[eFKac]

But how is that possible, the PC crowd told me, taxes and exchange rate add another 200 euro to the US price! Magic.

 

[B33]

That's a decent price point that beats the price point for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

 

[Escalario]

Do you realize how crazy it is to expect a capable VR headset to be $250?

I do. But a $399 peripheral ain't gonna have enough sales to make PSVR came anywhere close to being a mainstream hit.

 

[Majmun]

DAY ONE

 

[Fhtagn]

Called it. $399 was my max day one price and also what I expected it to be.

Now I just have to try it to see if it gives me a headache or not.

 

[Sephzilla]

Thats actually lower than I was expecting. I need more details on what I get for the 399 but I'm interested

 

[awesomegamername]

$399?

Cheaper than I expected. I guess they really aren't expecting to make money on the headset hardware itself.

 

[Maintenance]

I'm in.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Yup

If most games will use those, then that's a pretty rough price.

 

[Zombie James]

Not ready to jump on VR yet but with that price they've got it sealed up.

 

[Bradach]

Price is good, date isn't.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Wow I actually guessed right with the price. October will give me even longer to save so can get a few games too, great stuff.

 

[jett]

Without a camera or controller, I can't say that this is a particularly good price.

 

[Hellsing321]

Wait no camera? Don't you need that for the headset to function?

 

[akidnamededdy]

The price is right. Preordering ASAP. My final bet was $349 so I was only $50 off. I think it's a sweet spot comparative to the competition.

Compared to the competition, I guess. But people aren't gonna see this at the store and think "$400? Well it's cheaper than the Rift at least." They'll think "$400? Fuck VR."

Maybe.

I dunno.

I know I'll be holding out for a while at least.

 

[Ombala]

Good price bad date

Expect more VR at E3

 

[Aztechnology]

Really really awesome. If only the had the foresight to make it possible for PC users to use and develop for it though

 

[Father_Brain]

I can't wait to hear how a $399 peripheral for a $350 console is "cheap" and will fly off shelves!

 

[Drilbit777]

Honestly I expected it to be more but I need to see the games first before I put my money on it.

 

[muteki]

So in.

 

[backflip10019]

Still not convinced from the software angle. I haven't seen a single game that looks like more than a tech demo.

 

[Dutchman]

Good price. Day 1.

 

[GeoramA]

This is going to be a holiday hit. Pre-ordering ASAP.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Wait, so the box doesn't include everything you need to get started?

That's not cool...

 

[Saty]

No Move controllers included?

 

[Kibbles]

Don't you need the camera for it to function? Kind of dumb to leave out stuff required to use it

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

They did it. Sony won the early VR war.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Did they give specifics on CAD? Will they go with the exchange rate, or take a loos like they do with consoles?

Yes, because Canada is special, Sony will a loss on the CAD because fuck it, maple syrup.

 

[majik13]

Just the headset or bundle with a camera?

Lets all thank Sony for saving VR /s

Here is what is in the package

Looks like the camera included.

Edit: Is that not the camera at the bottom?

 

[etta]

It is $499 when you factor in the camera and Move you need to buy to make it work.

Oh

 

[thomasmahler]

It is $499 when you factor in the camera and Move you need to buy to make it work.

Pretty much. Still a great price, though!

I'm guessing Sony will also have a PS4 bundle with PSVR and Move

 

[Guymelef]

Remember we have to add camera price.

It is $499 when you factor in the camera and Move you need to buy to make it work.

Move is not mandatory.
