PlayStation VR release date and price leaked, cheaper than Oculus Rift

4.6
A Swiss online retailer has listed Sony's VR headset, PlayStation VR, for 498 Swiss francs (that's around €455 / £347). According to the retailer's listing, shipment of the VR headset is scheduled to commence on June 30, 2016. Sony has yet to comment on the matter.

It's a stark contrast to another recent retailer listing, when Amazon Canada suggested a price at $1,125 Canadian Dollars (that's around $800 USD), although that price point was denied by Sony immediately.

When it comes to VR, pricing is a sensitive issue, as demonstrated when Oculus recently announced the retail price for their headset.

Axer Playstaion just one GG Xbox

But really that's so dope


Microsoft Hololens man.


The Hololens dev kit goes for around $3000 right now (the oculus dev kit was $350), that's out of most consumers price ranges. But hopefully Microsoft announces some sort of xbox one related VR headset soon.

It may be cheaper, but that means nothing if it isn't as good.

Miss $800 USD would be way too much, even with the technology. They should make a new bundle that includes the headset and console for $650.


No way!! U can buy a cheap pc that can run VR games and the Oculus Rift for less or for the same price as that .Lol.

I'm not too surprised that VR headsets are so expensive, with them being a new technology and all. I don't think i'll be getting one any time soon
