Hahaha if I told my wife I’m buying the headset and that means I can’t take her and the kids out for a few months, I’d have bigger problems on my hands. Who actually does shit like that?

Well yeah, I mean when everyone agrees on it haha. Not just saying you've cancelled family trips to pay for it
"Sit down and watch me do VR family!"
Can you tell I don't have a family?
Maybe my second example of a single person getting it over going out as much is more realistic.

Beat Saber is already on PSVR1 and they make bank on people buying the song packs. I can't imagine they're not going to do the minimal amount of work required to patch/upgrade it for PSVR2. Actively refusing to do that to force existing owners into buying a second VR headset would be bonkers, although, Zuck is clearly off the deep end with the metaverse shit, so who knows. Maybe they do tank their own product.

Yikes. Quest 3 for me it is.

£529?
Yeah, I think I'll just stick to PCVR for the time being. I've been playing Red Matter 2 at ultra high settings, and I doubt PSVR2 is going to better it - especially because it'll be wired.

good price, will live/die by game offerings even more so than other headsets...but solid specs, should be interesting.

Has Half Life ALyx been confirmed? Surely thats how you gain a huge amount of hype. It needs to launch with that at least.

Any ports of PSVR1-Games announced so far?
Still undecided, if I should wait for a port of RE7 for example, or play it now on my PSVR1.

No Half Life Alyx hasn't been confirmed.
It's launch line up is fantastic though. RE8VR looks amazing. RE4 shouldn't be too far behind either.

Given the specs it's really not at all that expesnive.

Considering they are sticking with OLED and raising it to 4K and adding HDR I don’t think the price is too crazy. It’s easier to swallow than spending $1500 on a new PC and another $1000 on the Valve Index.

$550 AND a PS5 required?! The Meta Quest 2 is cheaper, and doesn't require other equipment. Holy shit this is such a bizarre and in my opinion dumb option. I mean, I'm all for consumer choice, and happy for folks who are excited for this -- but goddamn, I really don't see this thing being all that successful.

With controllers and a game, it was $560. $400 was just the headset only.

I want one. Really bad. But good fucking luck with that pricing, Sony. People are struggling to put food on the table and you want to release an accessory that’s more expensive than the console. Fucking. OOOF.
This thing will be DOA despite it likely being a fucking amazing product.

Agreed. The specs on this headset are really great.
I'm surprised it's not more expensive, I was kind of expecting it to be.

I think they understand their playerbase just fine. Look at the answers in this thread and it will prove you wrong:
I'm buying the Horizon Bundle. Day 1.
That price is ridiculous, Sony I have questions.
Day one. Throw up the preorder link you cowards!

650 euro is a huge gamble for VR headset.
Each one I've had, was a gamble with comfort and lenses.
I am shortsighted and some headsets focus on infinity = bad and some focus on 1 meter away = good for me.... I wonder how this one is.
I can't drop 650 euro and have it be not suited for my eyes

That’s asking a lot for VR. Especially when Quest is sitting over here at $400 and not needing an additional $500 console in order to work.
But more VR is only good for the platform so…

Am I seeing the spec correctly that this is better resolution than Valve Index?

The Quest 2's specs and screens pale compared to this. They even increased their price by $100. Only thing going for it is wireless. Wait until you see the price of Quest 3 that will be more comparable screen/tech wise.
Yes. And OLED/HDR and eye tracking foveated rendering.

I'll have to wait for the Black Friday bundles a couple years from now. I am in this time, but not at retail.
Price is in line with what's expected for the specs and given they're asking 200$ for the Dualsense Edge.
Ideally it should have 499$.
But the Meta Quest Pro is 1500$
And look at the prices of high end GPUs and smartphones, well over 1000$.
It seems the era of super cheap electronics is done for the time being.
For me it's more about the games than the price so if the experience is worth it I'm in.

Most look cartoony. The Switchback game looks like the same on-rails shooter they did on the original PSVR 'Rush of Blood"
The shooters look 'blah;

It's 4K.
This thing is going to be wild.
Some of the previews of RE8VR mentioned it looks as good or better than the PS5 version.

That launch lineup just shows that this is basically going to be another PS VR with a bunch of shovelware and a couple of sony AAA games thrown in between.
Even Horizon doesnt look as good as HFW and its a PS5 only game. Clearly rendering the game at 120 fps is holding back its visuals.
Wake me up when PS VR6 launches in 2050 with ready player one graphics. This tech is clearly not ready for primetime.

Then this will be the best deal on the market. Everyone needs to compare specs, not pricing.
People kept telling me I was wrong when I said PSVR 2 would cost around $1000+ all in(MACHINE + hardware) and kept telling me I was wrong.
This is too funny, costs more than the machine.
This is why it'll never be a mainstream thing, and still a weird project stepchild... again.

Who told you that you were wrong?
The PS5 is $400-$500 and most were expecting this tech to be in the $500-$600 range.
