Soo, 399€?

Yes.

Why the fuck do dollars always directly change to euros? I love GOG and Amazon because I can buy stuff with their real price, not this increased EU premium.

 

[ranmafan]

Wish it was ¥40000 but still better than I thought it would, considering the yen situation now. Still a nice price. October is a nice time for it to come out too. So excited now!

 

[SplitYourInfinities]

No camera included, so expect a premium bundle for $499.

 

[BennyBlanco]

A mouse in the box? No camera?

 

[Colonel Nasty]

$400 I hope it comes with a game. Probably closer to 500 because I don't have move controllers or a camera.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Oh fuck yeah. I'm all over it at that price.

 

[Arkham]

Great! Called it last May. I still hope that's the price for the camera bundle and a lower-pricd one without the camera. Even a $399 value-added bundle that has a game or Moves instead of the camera would do nicely.

 

[paragonpro]

Thats a super reasonable price, considering this needs to be a commercial product. Id imagine they are taking a loss, but honestly its smart, they could even see the same success they had with the ps4 at that price comparatively to its competitiors, im not sold yet, still need to try it. But this makes it way more easy to swallow should I decide to jump in! i hope rez gollem is a launch game, the other psvr games shown didnt have me all that interested

 

[plasmawave]

That's $3999 Canadian.

 

[Rebel Leader]

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

Wait... I need that stuff.. Really?

 

[neojubei]

Least i know what i will be buying for my birthday present

 

[TheAutomator]

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

Well then....

 

[Ducky83]

I'm in day one!

 

[Durante]

Hey that's exactly what I predicted.

Though I really expected a full bundle with Moves at that price.

 

[awesomegamername]

Remember we have to add camera price.



Move is not mandatory.

The camera is essential?

 

[icespide]

bought. Rez VR here I come

 

[Withnail]

$399 with Star Wars VR as a launch title?

Yeah Sony ain't messing around.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Not a bad price at all, only $50 more than the DK2 was

 

[MassiveNights]

I'm in at £349.

 

[Verder]

SONY DONE DID IT.

day 0

 

[Crono27]

so 500 with camera and move lol.

 

[Ziffles]

OP you might wanna add the "no camera/move" caveat in your post.

edit: ah got it in the title

 

[michaelius]

Should have included camera and move controllers at price.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

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

If it doesn't come with an additional, required peripheral, that should reeeeally be added to the OP. Makes a big difference.

 

[Benjamin1981]

Yeah not interested at that price and so will the mass market. It's a freaking accessory that will be obsolete when PS5 hits.

 

[Nokterian]

Still not feeling it to even buy VR.

 

[ashecitism]

Without the camera and controllers? Because seems so based on the pic.

 

[Dawnbuster]

Guessing that is just the headset since the price is shown next to the headset by itself. Might include a game at launch. $399 for everything is pretty amazing if true. Though since I already have the camera and controllers, I would be getting stuff I don't need.

$499 including camera and move controllers is still pretty good too, assuming that's what the full bundle would be.

Might need to get one of these to go with my Oculus, assuming Sony has some great exclusive content.

 

[Goldfishking]

no camera, no move, no games, no buy.

 

[Hasney]

Yup, under £400 was my trigger point. I'm in.

 

[Wallach]

Seems a little weird that the camera is not included when it isn't going to work without one, no?

I guess they just really wanted to be able to get the list price under $400.

 

[KingSnake]

So, it's $399 without camera and Move. Maybe a bit more expensive than I estimated.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Woah, what is this cinematic mode?

I need to know more about this.

 

[GustyGardens]

It's $100 more than I speculated, but it's an okay price. Now, the big worry is about games this thing is going to have at launch. Sony always has a problem with supporting their peripherals beyond a few games.

I also worry that the price will turn many would-be buyers away from the device, given that it costs more than the console. I can't really see this taking off around Christmas, but then again, I can definitely see it.

Just make sure this thing has games, Sony.

 

[Covfan]

Nearly $565 for us in the UK. A bit too steep for me.

 

[Dalto11]

All in, that's my ideal price point and much more affordable to me than the Oculus or Vive (though I still plan to buy a Vive after I upgrade my PC in a couple of years). I l already have two sets of move controllers, and I have the camera for the PS4, so I'm set there. Hyped.

 

[HowZatOZ]

This doesn't work for PC does it? I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon, the cost of a PlayStation and the VR system is nearly $1000, I'd rather spend that on a PC compatible VR.

In saying that it is indeed a great price point, low enough for consumers to slightly consider it and the hardcore to buy instantly.

 

[Social]

what does MS have to do with this??? they're not in the VR space at all

exactly

 

[Amagon]

Come on Amazon!

 

[Tankard]

I'm in, whewww, was scared it was going to be 100 bucks more expensive than that, which in my case become so much more money.

Can't wait for it.

 

[The Elite]

GO OUT AND BUY MOVE CONTROLLERS RIGHT NOW.

You don't know what they may reprice them at. I managed to get Two Move Controllers, A charging station, Nav Controller all for $45 Canadian.

Don't wait!

 

[Mpl90]

As already posted in the other thread

399.99 is the highest I was expecting PSVR to be priced. I was predicting between 299.99 and 399.99. However, while it's correct to have different bundles, especially for those who already have Move controllers and cameras, 399.99 for just the headset seems...even more expensive than what I thought?

BTW, WHAT @ Battlefront VR

 

[Saucycarpdog]

They did it. Sony won the early VR war.

$399 + other peripherals. Defiantly not going to be a mainstream hit. Plus it's also lower quality VR than oculus or Vive, you get what you pay for.

 

[ekim]

Wow. Certainly didn't expect that price point. That's an awesome price.

 

[Thoraxes]

Alright, sign me up for one of these.

My copy of DOAX3 will be ready.

 

[Karak]

So it doesn't need the move and camera? What do you lose if you just get the headset?

 

[watership]

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

Full fledged? It's not the same as the other VR offerings at all.

 

[oti]

I could try to sell my Xbox One, with luck I'd get 200€ out of it on eBay. That's half the price of PS VR.

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Day one. Hope they'll still have pre-orders available in Japan in July, I really don't want to pay 399€ if I can avoid it...

 

[JohnDrake]

The price is what I expected but for now I won't buy. Maybe sometime in the future. I would have to buy some Move controls and camera as well.
