I don't think Sony can afford to have this bomb in any region, no matter how small it may be.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Thank you! 60$ on Amazon for $50, $80 on PSN for $100.
Child you making me spend and save!
Thanks Death

399 is fine but 549 is too much especially with tax. I'll probably pre-order one anyway though just in case I end up wanting it.

You're not wrong! Hard to know what will become exclusive and what won't, though. At least with the PC headsets, someone will hack in cross-compatibility eventually (or already has, if that Oculus-Cardboard adapter is the real deal), but PSVR? Who knows.
Honestly, you could argue any number of things. Maybe it's ridiculous to even buy ONE VR headset right now.
this actually looks pretty awesome
Dammit. Why did I enter this thread.
This may become my first $80 game, assuming I can afford it.
That's true, it's less than $500 which is good, it's less than $400 which is great.
The accessories (camera or the move controller) is like buying something new like a smartphone, you need a case, some screen protector, a leather pouch, card holder, etc...
EDIT: Like Bestbuy/Futureshop, this TV is one of the best in the market and it's on sale, I'll ask my manager if he can give you some discount if you buy this $200 monster cable lol. Which you will need to take advantage of the realistic super sharp color accurate picture. lol
Canada is not really a region, let's say it's the 51st state of the US lol.

Really nice looking steelbook, especially in comparison to most. But it's a steelbook, and a game I have 0 interest in, so screw it.
I hate steelbooks outside of their visual appeal. There's nothing like paying more for hubs that threaten to break your discs.

$549 to satisfy my dreams of virtual anime breasts and Ace Combat. I guess I'm crazy, but I'm actually in at that price.
But the extra cost of having to buy the god damned camera is what gets me for some reason.

Seems better to wait a year or two for game devs to get used to engine, and buy when price drops a few.
I doubt launch releases will be all that good.

Just go line up at the Best Buy demo station. That's pretty much all their B&M stores are good for.
If you still have to get the camera then you'll probably be close to $700 after tax for your virtual anime bosoms.
But it will be oh so worth it

It's fine it'll be worth it. $700 to play the new DOA and Summer Lesson.
Cinematic Mode feels like a big selling point for me as well. Depending on how it actually turns out from first impressions, I don't think I need to buy a bigger TV anymore...? Could just sit in bed wearing the headset like a super-nerd.
Wait is that actually coming out over here now?!
The PS4 is region free so you can just buy it on amazon and "enjoy virtual boobs"

I kind of don't get cinematic mode, at least right now. In theory, it sounds great: play games on a huge virtual screen! But in practice, won't we still be limited by the resolution of the VR screens themselves? It's fine to have an 80-foot screen but if everything's still blocky because the headset can't render a scene past 2560x1440 or whatever, it's not like you're getting that much more detail?
Though on the other hand, giant posters and billboards have a much lower dpi than normal print products, so maybe it'll be fine. Guess it's something I'll have to see for myself. The 22-year-old me struggling to play Burnout 3 on a 14" TV would be ecstatic.

Just like they couldn't let Gravity Rush bomb in Canada!

Gravity rush was bound to bomb(a second time...) :-(
No. Preorders haven't gone up yet.

I don't think it's happened yet. Only people in the UK/Europe had orders go up on Game.
I'm not sure a price increase now would be smart on Sony's part.
It's not like the PS4 is cheap, you can't buy it for less than 430-450 CND most of the time
(Edit : for reference, 450$ CND is what the PS2 launched at, a year later it was 300, the PS4 is 430 2 years after beeing on the market, it's more expensive than when it released)

Sorry guys, shipping question!
Amazon always sends my stuff by Canada Post, who I am very happy with, but I had a package ship today and the email said it shipped by "AMZN" and "AMZCA" on the website.
Is that the Dynamex company people are always having issues with? I tried my tracking number on their site and it didn't find anything.
Or is there some new shipping wherr they do it themseves?

It usually says Dynamex. Not sure what you're seeing.

Weird. Well, thanks for info. I guess I'll find out on Thursday.
Wasn't there an English option too?
I'm definitely considering it, for the plot, of course.
Try putting the tracking number into google, and see what pops up.
I wonder if this is an early sign of Wii U accessories being phased out in preparation for the NX? I might pick up 2nd adapter anyway.
Lmao..

Looking at that they pushed back the shipping date AGAIN. I really wish they'd email people who preordered in the past when the date changes.

Some of the difficulty with the price for me (and maybe a lot of consumers) is that I have never tried VR, and as such it is difficult to quantify whether it will be worth it for me. It could be the greatest thing ever and I would gladly spend all of the Canadian dollars, or it could just be kinda neat and that's it.
I hope there are lots of demo stations in stores and stuff, but at the same time the idea of wearing a public headset is a little gross so I'm not sure it'd happen.

I think I'm going to hold off on ps vr. I was planning to purchase it at first but it's essentially being released mid gen with a resolution of 960x1080 per eye. It's a neat concept but I don't think the hardware is where I want it to be yet. I honestly don't think it'll have the longevity I'd like and I'm wary of the support it'll receive. Let's face it, ps camera, ps eye, ps vita, playstation move are all excellent examples of Sony's track record when it comes to supporting devices with lukewarm reception. I also expect it to sell a lot at launch and then slow down.
Is it cheaper to buy digital or from VGP?
