Do we have official minimum/recommended specs yet?

 

[Ryan_MSF]

 

[Sjefen]

:-( Hope Sony makes VR affordable, I want it but not at any cost.

 

[viveks86]

Fuck you, palmer.

I'm buying anyway :'(


Edit: Annnd it's down

 

[Unicorn]

DLC.

woo!

 

[DrArchon]

Took them long enough, but I can see why. Now watch as everyone else shows up cheaper.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I expected as this, but 600 is too much. If all VR is priced this high in the beginning, I won't make the jump for years.

 

[Hip Hop]

FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U.S. DOLLARS

FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE U.S DOLLARS

The revenge of Kaz!

You're going to want to get a second job.

 

[OrionsNebula]

A lot more expensive than expected... But considering all that is packaged with it, 2 games, controller, cables, etc., I wonder how large the markup is on these...

 

[Soroc]

I hast the Xbone Elite, so 549?

After you sell the controller, yes that would be the price

I can't even get on the damn store, just a white page still..

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[ShinMaruku]

What price did you expect? Any less than $400 would have been daft.

 

[hawkeyye293]

Holy smokes! Did not see that coming. I was all in until now. Be back when it hits 350.00.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Shop is down for me. I want to know GBP.

Same.

 

[wenis]

woooooof. something tells me PSVR is going to cost more than a PS4 if this thing is $599.

It won't.


And for gen 1 new tech, this isn't that expensive.

 

[InsaneTiger]

That is...

That is about $100 more than I expected it to be.

Not including the upgrades most folks PCs will probably need.

 

[Branson]

What's shitty is that this is the one I was looking forward to. Mainly because of the minds behind it. But fuck that. 3-400 and I'm in.

 

[MikeSan]

I hope this "future of gaming" will fail, too expensive for a few games that will use it.

 

[Occam]

Good luck.

 

[Nzyme32]

Makes sense, although I'd assume "at cost" wouldn't land on such a comfy $599 tag, so it is likely they have either saved you some money or added to it to get that number.

 

[CAR105 3]

Sweet baby jesus!

That price is too damn high!

 

[Hasney]

Damn, looks like the VR decision might have been made if Sony can shave $200 off there.

If not, I'll not be an early adopter that's for sure.

 

[Rich!]

Hahaha. And will the UK price be cheaper? No.

Fuck off will it. I'm out.

 

[Vuze]

lol. No way I'm getting one for that price, even as somebody who owns a DK2 and knows how great VR can be.

 

[JeffG]

$840 Canadian

add in a $300 PC upgrade that would take me just below the min specs. (Which means I probably would need $600 worth of upgrades to take me above the min line).

Very pricey

 

[rauelius]

I'm be happier with my $599....or a GTX980-Ti.

 

[Kriken]

Time to get a second job, lol

 

[gamechanger87]

woooooof. something tells me PSVR is going to cost more than a PS4 if this thing is $599.

I'm calling $500 for PSVR. The only question is do they charge for all the peripherals needed for it.

 

[xKilltheMx]

600...eh..I think my limit is 450 for VR. This is crazy, come on PSVR.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Welp, that's not quite cheap, is it?

 

[johnnydrama]

Sorry, that's just too much for a gaming product that hardly has any great software to support it at the moment. I wanted to buy one, but maybe not right now. Bummed.

 

[MacGurcules]

Holy shit. I was not expecting that high. How is that in the "ballpark" of $350?

 

[DiscoShark]

Ouch! I was expecting $499 at the very least and secretly hoping for something along the lines of $399. This is twice what I paid for my 970. I'm still very much interested in VR but it's gonna need a hell of a software lineup in order to entice me at that price point. All I'm really interested in at this moment is EVE Valkyrie.

 

[jett]

Well I'm gonna pass on that. Jeez. Even if it's coming with more shit, that's still nearly twice the price of the devkit.

 

[Cleve]

New tech is expensive. We were just talking about launch blu-ray players costing $899 in the av thread.

 

[Dynasty]

Damm, I guess Sony's will be at minimum $500 but I can see it easily being the same price.

 

[E_Darkness]

Well I didn't want to play VR games anyway...

 

[shira]

At least make it 597.99, wtf where they thinking.

 

[Guevara]

Too much, maybe 2017 will be the year of VR.

 

[darkinstinct]

Wow.


I hope PSVR is cheaper.

Probably 399. Welcome to the future bomba of VR.

 

[Tempy]

That thread about possible reactions was on the money.

 

[DrGonzo615]

Well, looks like I wont be jumping on the VR bandwagon....not that I cant afford it, I just cant justify spending that much on something like this.

Heres hoping that PSVR comes in at half that price.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Why allow the price be revealed like this? Bizarre, IMO.

 

[dallow_bg]

By Kaz!
More than I expected.

I hope this "future of gaming" will fail, too expensive for a few games that will use it.

One of the most ignorant posts ever?
Especially before you edited.

 

[Revolutionary]

Good luck to Oculus. Balls in your court, Sony.

 

[War Eagle]

What price did you expect? Any less than $400 would have been daft.

My limit was $499, but was secretly hoping for $399.

 

[Nozem]

That's € 200 more than I am willing to pay for VR.

 

[LiK]

Ugh

 

[waitwhat42]

Only question left is if they'll get Kaz Hirai to announce their price of FIVE HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS.

wait what?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

I guessed $650 US. This is still not a bargain.

Spoiler

Especially as a Canadian.
