399? Welp that's not going to take off.

 

[coiler]

Buing it when Gran Turismo comes out.

 

[Creaking]

Well I've already got the camera and one move controller. I wonder if they'll pair this with the Taco Bell promotion this year.

I'll wait for longer term impressions otherwise.

 

[Ushojax]

Still far too much for me, I'd rather spend that money on games.

Hopefully in 5 years VR will be at a mass market price.

 

[Kikorin]

399€ is the price for user who already have a camera, the "real" price for all others people will be with the camera included, so probably a bundle for 449€ or something similar.

 

[Raylan]

Boomshakalaka. Still need the Eye and Move controllers doe ��. $499 much?

Is this the new way now to downplay the mighty fine price of PSVR?
No, you do NOT "need" move.

 

[majik13]

If that isnt the camera behind him, then what is that?

 

[Nzyme32]

Excellent price! Should be perfect for those console oriented and interested in VR gaming vs mobile or PC right now, which is so good.

Lots to be excited about for both VR console and PC gaming

 

[t hicks]

Mad hype for VR
gimme good games/experiences and let me watch the movies I already own on PSN in a movie theater and you'll get a 10/10 from me

 

[BadHand]

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!

where?

 

[RoKKeR]

About what I expected. Very interested to see how it performs. If I had a PS4 I would be mighty tempted to pick it up, though I'd probably wait to see if the price comes down.

 

[kenzeta]

Holy crap!! Great price!! day 1!!!!!

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

I'm in on day one.

Time to see if I can score some move controllers on the cheap.

 

[ckohler]

Day one. Just need to pick up a second Move controller.

 

[Ricky_R]

That's the price I expected. Pretty affordable compared to its competitors.

It should have great adoption.

 

[Acquiescence]

Totally called the price. $399 is exactly what I expected it to be.

 

[-MD-]

$400? I'll pass.

See you guys 3 iterations from now.

 

[Venom Fox]

What the hell is wrong with everyone? You all wanted the headset, camera and move controllers all for $399?
So your basically telling me that Rift and Occulus are severley over priced? Or is it because you are all butthurt that people getting PSVR are paying a hell of a lot lower than the PC crowd?

Anyway, I think you all need to take a step back and look at costs of new technologies like this.

 

[UpwindPoet24]

My team can confirm this SKU $399 does not include camera or move. May include DS4. Stay tuned.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

Is this the new way now to downplay the mighty fine price of PSVR?
No, you do NOT "need" move.

You DO need the camera though, right?

 

[queequegs__coffin]

Bought, I'll preorder on amazon as soon as it's up.

[BennyBlanco]

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.

This is what I'm waiting to see lol.

I doubt it will get official support from Sony but I could see somebody getting it to work on PC. If they do I'll probably get one along with Oculus.

It's funny to see the same people ITT celebrating that were declaring Oculus DOA at $599. After the camera and Move controllers you need to work this it's not gonna be far off.

 

[RK128]

Don't plan on getting this for a good year or so but glad they are pricing it well .

400 bucks is pricey but for VR, its the cheapest on the market. Hope it does well and Sony is aggressive with system bundles with the device (PS4 bundles that have PS VR for 550 or 600$ could so very well if pushed right).

Nice news to hear, so thank you OP for sharing this with us .

 

[foxbeldin]

No camera included? So they're selling an incomplete product for $399.
That's a bad bad idea.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Fuck... okay I am in. My wallet will hate me.

 

[nhlducks35]

If that isnt the camera behind him, then what is that?

The power brick

 

[Silent Hill]

As soon as pre-orders go live, I'm in. Pretty good price.

 

[N.Domixis]

$800 to own a ps4 and this. Lmao

 

[Micerider]

Already got the Move and Camera so I'm all in. I have the PC for Oculus Rift and Vive, but both would net me more than 900 EUR now, which is a tad too steep for me to jump into a technology I do not know if I'd really be into. So : PSVR will be my entry point and it will probably decide if I want to go further on the PC end.

 

[Karak]

Just head tracking. Personally, it isn't a big deal to me.

So getting just the headset you only lose headtracking? why get the move at all then...

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Expected price. lol @ people that were expecting $2xx.xx. That shit was never going to happen.

In4-1.

$800 to own a ps4 and this. Lmao

lmao @ thinking VR was going to be cheap? Did you think HTC and Oculus were selling at Apple-levels of profit? No miracles here; this is what we expected.

edit: and damn this price doesn't include the wands? camera?

 

[killroy87]

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

Sony currently price their consoles about $40 below what the exchange rate says (meanign if someone from the US comes to Canada, it's technically cheaper to buy it here). And a few months ago when the CAD dollar was even worse, the gap was closer to $60.

 

[Turkoop]

fucking day one bruh

 

[Krisprolls]

Day 1. Great price for what it brings.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Will the PS3 camera work for this or no? Or does it have to be the PS4 version?

 

[RedAssedApe]

assuming its the same ps4 camera. which can be found for pretty cheat as of late.

how much are move controllers? are they even required if this is supposed to support the ds4?

dual wield a ds4 in each hand lol

 

[cakely]

About what I expected.

I'm ... I'm going to pre-order this, aren't I.

 

[PodcastFips]

If that isnt the camera behind him, then what is that?

Something else.

 

[border]

$399 for a bundle that doesn't even contain the peripherals necessary to make the headset work is pretty underwhelming.

I thought a barebones SKU was a bad idea to start with, but at $399 it's even worse. I'll still put in a pre-order when it's possible, but I don't have a lot of hope for the headset's longevity.

 

[Leatherface]

I'll be getting it. fuck it. I've been waiting way too long for VR to become reality.

 

[TheBootyBandit]

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!

Good point.

 

[thechristoph]

i do not want this

hmmm mmmm

i do not want this

hmmm mmmm

 

[Raylan]

You DO need the camera though, right?

Yes

 

[Astrates]

Yeah, I'll pick one up, £50 put aside a month.

 

[LongDongJunon]

There's time to get PS camera's and PS moves on sale from different stores/outlets and whatnot before October.

Example: I got my PS4 Camera for $15 during a deal going on at best buy in December. There will be more sales going on in the future I'm sure.

As far as cheap move controllers go, check your local mom and pop electronic and record stores that sell video games to see if that carry good used versions of them for(THE EXCHANGE, etc)

 

[jett]

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

Yeah honestly, thinking about it, it's a kinda shitty price.

The Rift comes with an Xbox One controller, a camera, a remote and two games bundled with it, and it has better specs.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Rocket League on my virtual TV is going to be great

 

[Gurish]

Was I naive expecting 300$?

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Wait, it doesn't come with the camera for 399$?

Hmm... Slightly disappointed. I was expecting the no-camera version to go no higher than 349.

 

[Newtype-001]

£349 to fully experience Waifus in the Summer and Aircrafts in the Sky is pretty cool

You can buy the cameras for around £20-40 man im so down

Spoiler

I just need the money
