PlayStation VR Will Be Priced $299 Standalone Without Camera

4.7
Sony has yet to officially detail the price of PlayStation VR but according to a rumor from reddit, the upcoming virtual reality device from Sony might cost as low as $299 for the standalone product and it will also get a starter kit containing a PS Eye camera, a PS VR game and PS Move controller for $129. As it is usual with these type of rumors, take this with a grain of salt. While it isn’t confirmed for now, we do know from the statement of Sony Interactive Entertainment President Andrew House that the virtual reality device will cost as much as a new console when it will launch in 2016.

The rumor from reddit suggests that the PlayStation VR device will launch at a price of $299 for the standalone product. Sony is also looking into it releasing a starter kit with the accessories like PS Move Controller and a PS Eye Camera. This starter kit will reportedly cost $129 and it will also include a PlayStation VR game. This price doesn’t include the tax which might increase it a bit further depending on the region. We also get to know from the rumor that while PlayStation VR might require the PS Eye camera, it won’t be included with the $299 standalone bundle. Instead, those who don’t have the PS Eye camera and PS Move controllers can get the PS VR starter kit for $129 to enjoy the full experience.

I'm not as interested in VR as a lot of other people are right now, partially because of the price of all the units. I might get this or Rift when the prices come down a little.

XboxPosted:

Well I must say it's cheaper than what I thought it was going to be. But I'm more of a console gamer so I will probably stick with that.

KxrLPosted:

doot I still couldn't justify paying that much for a VR device, even if it is cheaper than previous ones.


Me either it's just such a rip off for something so silly most people won't even use it

TricksPosted:

I honestly don't even think I would be interested in this. I'm completely fine with console.

MickersPosted:

Wouldn't ever buy this personally.

$300 sounds realistic. But Sony being Sony, they'll probably charge more than that for an entire bundle, rather than go with individual sales.
