PS4 VR Headset to Be Priced "As a New Gaming Platform," Sony Boss Says

Damn, I was hoping for $150.00 or something close to that. That Simulview tv was cheaper than I thought it was going to be. Turned out to be defective but still. The Vita was cheaper than I was thinking it was going to be as well. Hopefully they pull a Nintendo and keep the price low.

200$ are good, 250$ are enough and we shouldn't pay more

199$ plz sony

I'm interested in it, but due to budget issues and it being such new tech, I'll be waiting a bit before getting one. Especially if it is over $150-200.

I didn't plan to buy it for, at least, the first 5 years after it's release anyway...

I'll wait for the news about people getting sick, nauseous, getting nightmares, having hallucinations...drops down to even think about getting into VR.

People shouldn't be so upset about the price.. Most of these VR HMDs are likely going to be around $300 for the first generation hardware, and could get cheaper as more hardware comes out. That's a lot better than the $1000s that VR HMDs used to cost, on their own, and they were no where near as good as the new VR we have now.

$300 is the price of a good gaming-display. Whether it's a fast PC screen, or a decent TV, $300 is about right. And these are MUCH higher quality, more functional displays, and the end result puts you INSIDE the videogames, you truly feel like you're inside the game-world. I think they're more than worth that price.

There will be plenty more games on the way, once the hardware gets out there, and 10 is not a terrible number for a console. Of course the Oculus Rift on PC will have a lot more games available, which is why I'm getting that, and I already have a beefy PC. heh

I think VR technology would be more as a training sims for many professions like you r in cockpit and get ready to takeoff or a soldier on a battle ground have to complete his objectives, so if beside gaming it can be something more as a professional simulation hardware.

Bad Move.

Should have sold it with an HDMI input and marketed it as a TV replacement instead.

I won't be buying this for a long time.

So dumb, won't sell more than 1 million goggles.

Vita sold more than 5 million and look how many AAA games Sony is making for it.

DOA Xtreme 3 VR Motorboating.

That is all.

200 stand alone

500 vr and ps4 bundle

That would be worth paying 500 for.

PS4 VR Headset to Be Priced "As a New Gaming Platform,"...kinda like what Microsoft did with the Kinect and Kinect 2.0? Sony completely abandoned those Move Controllers that were supposed to be compatible with the new PS4 Camera.

(I have a 2TB PS4 and 3TB Xbox One).

I think it will flop! I'm not hating on Sony, I love my PS4, but I just don't think it's gonna be as good as people seem to be making out. I'm lucky enough to be able to own a PS4 and an X1, but most people don't, why? Fanboys aside, it's because people think £350 is enough to spend on a console, why would people spend that again on something that will only have a handful of games, ever, because it's gonna be a niche thing, not mainstream like the core console, a la Kinect.... It will turn in to the Vita and Kinect where it slowly just gets brushed inder the carpet, because people like to sit with their controller playing the console they've just spent a fortune on and a nice tv to go with it. It's first attempt, it won't be as great as Sony are making out, disagree all you want, i will be right. They should stop with the gimmicky stuff and put that money into more first party games for their consoles people have already spent money on, because even Sony have been honest and admitted their first party lineup is 'sparse' this year

That's me done :-)

So Sony rather focus on PS VR over the PS Vita? That's like if Nintendo focus on the Virtual Boy over the Game Boy.

Morpheus is a way better name, guys.

I was actually expecting a lower price for this one with Sony eating a little of the cost to help get the system off the ground.

A black Brick on your face

Looks real stupid

I'll go with HOLOLENS which kills this anyways

That's a pretty reasonable price, actually, if accurate. It's a lot of raw dough, but for a quality VR experience (if it turns out to be one) that is a low point of entry. I had the pleasure of using an early OR model, and even with its many limitations it was a fantastic and exciting experience. This (and the new OR revisions) are so far beyond that

As long as its better than the Virtual Boy and keep supporting it, it should do well.

No one in this comment section seems to understand that 10 launch titles is a boatload.
