Oh good, it's not just me.
PlayStation Blog confirms the price of PS VR to $549 CAD. Camera required and sold separately. No controllers included but some (most?) games work with a DualShock 4.

I keep refreshing the page. Hoping.
the #future is debt
So :
550 + 60 + 100 (50*2) = 710+tx as a price of entry if you need the headset, the camera and two move controllers.
It's barely cheaper than a Rift (850)
Day one. Just let me preorder, and I'm there.
Amazon has a page for it??

Hopefully this one works.
You could fine Playstation VR by searching on Amazon yesterday. Today they seem to have taken it off search but I still found it via Google.

You don't need the Move controller, let alone two.

Luckily, I already own a PS4 camera and two Move controllers, so I am the best-case scenario where price is concerned. At $549 + 13% Ontario tax, that's $620.37, which is a lot more reasonable than the Oculus Rift's $914, but still pricey enough that I probably won't get both.
It also unfortunately misses a benchmark only I am keeping track of: an Oculus Rift and a PSVR together still cost more than a Vive. Too bad.

I already have a PS Camera but $550? nope.
My holiday is yours to take, Nintendo.
Is there an official page? I just keep on refreshing the search
Edit: Someone beat me to it.

My understanding is that while you can play with a DS4, some demos used two move controllers (which makes sense for spatial arms positionning)

I picked up two move controllers a nav controller and a charging cradle for $45 this past week.
The price will probably go up as this stuff is all on clearance or used. Check EB. Check Shoppers. Check Flear Markets.
Move doesn't seem to be a requirement though.
Having two VR headsets seems suuuuper silly anyway. This really seems like a product you need to make a choice on and commit.
I have one Move controller (and the little nunchuck that came with the sharpshooter in the KillZone 3 bundle), but finding one for cheap around here in Quebec City may prove difficult.
For the Eye it's almost always 60 when on sale so doubt it can go much cheaper.

$549 huh? A little bit pricey for my taste but I guess I'll preorder onejust in case, but most likely I won't get a launch PSVR, especially considering NX is probably coming out around the same time.

I've never had an issue. They've always arrived in the morning.
So...$399 USD is $532 CAD.
Edit: They didn't even list CAD price on the slide

Screw that noise, I got my PS4 for $415. This would be $620 with tax, plus camera. It's going to bomb so hard over here, and is going to rot on the shelves for years.

$550? Thanks but no thanks. I'm sure it'll drop in price or there'll be some sort of a sale or something at some point. I will be patient.
Wow $550. I'm scared to find out the cost for NX when that comes out.
Going by Nintendo's track record, slightly above US prices.
I already have a VIVE/Rift ready PC, but I'm curious about Sony's effort
And I also ahve no intentions of paying 1k for VR
Yeah, my desktop computer is in no shape whatsoever to use a PC VR rig, I'd basically have to build an entirely new rig to be VR ready on PC. However, I already have the PS4, 2 Move controllers, and the camera, so I'm in a decent position to splurge on PS VR.
Will buy for 3$ on clearance 3 months down the line
Same :3

I'm not following as to why they aren't including the camera in the vr box if it's required? Is this like the n3ds no ac adapter situation all over again or is there a reason for no camera included?
I'm guessing because some already have it and they really wanted that $399 us price point.
To have an artificial 400$ US pricepoint
You realistically need both an eye and at least one move controller, that's 110 CND more and would have put the bundle at 480 US/660 CND
Fun fact, it's 30$ in the US
And no, no one is selling it for cheap. Target leaving the Canadian market did hurt it prety good when it comes to accessories promotions.catpurrcat

Ah. That makes sense.
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't remember there was a ps camera peripheral until I saw this and the VR thread.
Of course they want it to be a success, they priced it in the US at $399 which a lot of Americans find reasonable. Canada is a small market, it's pretty much an afterthought to them.
I know a few years back I bought it for sub $50 during the holidays. I don't know if PSVR will make it maintain the price though. You might be able to find used ones at EB Games for a decent price.
I expect that when E3 rolls around, they will "magically" announce other bundles to give people more "choices," but stick to the US$399 mantra for announcing price points.
