No but you quoted me when I asked one and proceeded to shit post.....
In answer to your question, whether the price is good value or not is entirely subjective.

Note: Please be advised that PlayStation VR will go on sale at 11:00 GMT on Wednesday, 16 March, 2016. Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. This product comes with a UK plug and therefore may not be suitable for use outside of the UK.
This makes no sense. Wth?
They aren't even directly competing. The entry cost for PC is a lot higher, so you essentially have two different markets. The only 'fair' battle is Oculus vs Vive. For Sony, PSVR is more about making the Playstation brand sell more versus its competition, mainly in the form of the Xbox One.Lol at some Sony fanboys saying they won already the "VR wars".
$400 with an inferior screen and fov in the HMD, without the camera for positional tracking, and without any controller.
vs $600 of the Rift (with camera, wireless Xbox pad, good audio solution, 2 free games, case to transport it and even a remote control) vs $800 of the Vive (with 2 Lighthouses, 2 controllers, integrated camera for chaperone/AR) isn't exactly winning already the "VR war".
It's not a peripheral.

It's more like the expected, or even a bit more expensive than that, because I supposed the camera would be included, maybe even one Move controller.
This is Gen 1 VR. Be glad it was't $449-$499 like some suspected. It is certainly more "affordable" than the competition. That is, of course, a relative measure.
Whether Sony can sell $400-$500 VR setups to tight-budgeted console gamers remains to be seen.

So considering that the PS4 camera is needed, and the taxes, the real price most likely be well over $500. Hillarious PR tactic from Sony making a bundle that doesn't contain everything needed for PSVR to actually work. This thing will be most likely abandoned by Sony after 1st year like all the peripherals/accesories they've made for their consoles.
What I need to know last is the specs of this thing.
Got the move and the camera.. Hoping the move controllers batteries didn't die!

If you don't own a camera, it's 450 max in total.
No idea where the fuck people are getting 500 from. If your gonna try and inflate the price, try a bit harder.

Isn't this the weakest of the VR platforms? I'm surprised at the high entry cost, especially considering no camera included.

I dont understand the not packing in the of the camera. This is bonkers.

What is it then?
It's the same "PS4 is about as expensive as Xbox One when you add in this and that and that and that" from a few years ago.If you don't own a camera, it's 450 max in total.

"Tight-budgeted" console gamers? I think you're putting the cart before the horse here. You expect people to throw down almost $500 for an experience they've never tried? It's not like they can view videos on YouTube and get the idea. You literally have to try VR to "get" VR. The only way Sony is going to get a critical mass is releasing something that's an impulse hype purchase, i.e. something under $300.
It's called Sales tax my friend.
