$400 if I recall correctly.

I had my fingers crossed that PSVR 2 would release at the same price.
I see what Sony is trying to do though.
They've been putting it out there that the cost of the consoles need to go up so to me it looks like they're starting the price increase with the PSVR2 with whatever mid gen upgrade to the console following suit at $550.
No way do I see them releasing the same exact PS5 for $50 more. Im expecting them to roll out the price increase against a new model (no matter how minuscule the "upgrades" would be).

I'd be more receptive to the $550 if inventory levels of the consoles weren't so abismal still and we had more console exclusive games.
Maybe I'm mellowing out with age but this gen continues to feel like a twilight zone mid-gen upgrade altogether.
I feel like PSVR 2 could easily wait another full year before releasing to give time for customers to settle in with their consoles.

I'm a firm believer in the technology. PSVR 1 blew me away and I'm excited for PSVR2.
It's just a timing situation for me in terms of the games.
The fact that it isn't backwards compatible really discourages me from dropping $550 on release day to only play one game (that I imagine will be more of a tech demo style game than anything, as were many of the launch PSVR games).
Resident Evil Village in VR make PSVR 2 a must buy regardless...I just will end up copping further down the line...who knows...I've been known to complain about this sort of thing and then let my video game nerdiness get the best of me and buy it off rip anyway.

I didn't know this wasn't backwards compatible. Was gonna get this right away but I'll wait now.

Man get da fukk outta here

Damn.

I'm not complaining about the price because its a high-end tech product. But nah, I'm out.

I would rather put that $819 (I'm from Toronto) towards a new TV + surround sound setup.

VR, while interesting, is honestly at the lower end of my gaming interests.

Wasn't the mantra of The Coli is that everyone here is six figures, six cars, six packs, six wives, six burner accounts, six houses etc.?

And at least 6 inches!!!!!

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

All jokes aside, as a mass market price, it's a non-starter. It doesn't work with PC, it's 1100 plus before the games and not backwards compatible.

As a device with what is has under the hood, it's appropriate but that price is only appropriate for enthusiasts though. The value is there as far as hardware. It's the software that is looking anemic. Not a lot of people are willing to put in on a peripheral at this cost based on hoping the lineup improves over time.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

Yea they can keep that shyt for that price

 

[winb83]

They couldn't have gotten it cheaper than the console? I mean if it doesn't require the console that's acceptable but if you have to have a PS5 to use this then nope.
