Sony VR Headset/Project Morpheus/PlayStation VR

Or PS3 without an HDMI cable in the box, anyone?

 

[goonergaz]

At least the PS3 would plug into a standard HDMI or your old PS2 video lead, hell with PS2 to PS3 you could litterally just switch the console and leave the leads as they were.

IMO, best case scenario:

PlaystationVR games free for every PS4 user [maybe not London Heist/Highway if the game is expanded to have a lot more content]
$199 PSVR headset only SKU
$250 PSVR headset + PS4 camera SKU
$50 Two Move controllers & some free hand-tracky compatible game SKU

I actually did this when I got my PS4.

Imagine all the complaints when someone takes it home and finds out they need to buy another pricy accessory

Imagine how we will all laugh at those complaints because customer did not see big fat "YOU NEED PS4 CAMERA" text and graphic on the PSVR box.

So.. There will be lots of game at launch. Willy be a awesome time for reviewer with quota

Confusing for gamers except if each game have demo. VR games os too different from one another

 

[London Geezer]

You said willy

Confusing for gamers except if each game have demo.

PS4 launched with 26 games.

So what? People have been happy buying games needing peripherals on consoles, from Eye Toy to Kinect to Rock Band to Wii Wobble Board to N64 expansions to Amiga RAM expansion to Move. Some consumers might be confused. They might grumble. It has no baring on the product and won't adversely affect sales and can't be handled any better - either you have only an all-in-one bundle and people already with camera complain, or you sell pieces and some get confused because they miss a part (although the store should have its own bundle for them if they're competent with sufficient guidance on what version the shopper needs).

Its different

The Kinect is a camera. You didn't bring it home and then find out it also requires a headset.

Rock band was sold with guitars or drum kits in the early editions along with guitar hero.

Kinect was a stand out accessory because of its unheard of attach rate.

What was suggested here is that you sell an accessory that requires another non included accessory. That goes beyond kinect

$200 isn't going to happen. I would put it at $300 minimum.

Yes you can make fun of them but they make up the bulk of buyers.

I agree 300 dollars and I am happy. Maybe it will be 350 or 400 dollars...

You really just need a big fat bright label with "MOVE CONTROLLER REQUIRED!!!1!1111" written on it and boom, problem solved. If it is required at all, that is.

Please let's not turn this into another endless "piracy is widespread" kind of discussion.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Its differentt

Fair enough, but there are other examples of games being sold requiring extras not included with the game. Stores will provide bundles even if Sony doesn't. And like I say, what's the issue? Worst case, a few grumbles on the internet. As I've already stated, it's not possible to please everyone because different people with different peripherals will have different requirements when time to buy a PSVR, but it's hardly a complicated, unmanageable situation that'll leave hundreds of thousands of people with headsets and no means to play the games or anything similar drastic*.

* This statement is set up to invoke the Gods of Irony, and we'll see a PSVR demand without enough cameras to go around!

No! 300 is too much. It has to be 299 or there will be riots. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death!

Yes you can make fun of them but they make up the bulk of buyers.

They'll be fine... It's only the bulk of buyers who already chose PS4, so it's the clever ones.

I think you're trying way to hard to make an issue where there isn't one.

But it's not. Camera is required.

Sony has already said that motion-trackable DS4 will be default controller for PSVR. We of course don't know if they are gonna bundle Move with each PSVR and make it a bit more expensive [one costs $25 on Amazon].

 

[goonergaz]

There are plenty of products in the world where you but something but something else is required for it to work - please stop this madness.

 

[MrFox]

It requires a PS4.

 

[upnorthsox]

It requires a PS4.

But it doesn't work on my xbox......................

Come now , you can at least follow the thread before you post something so useless. This isn't about the move controller.

This is about not including the camera with the headset. The camera is required to use the headset unlike the move controller.

So in the scenario some have mentioned Sony would be selling an accessory that requires an accessory and we all know that accessories that aren't the controllers don't sell to large attach rates , let alone one that requires another one.

Perhaps ,we will have to see what happens. I have no idea of the supply of ps camera's out there. I think the head set will be very limited however and also expensive.

but ts normal console game that people already familiar Vs VR games that is new and people on reddit usually say "try it yourself" instead only watching trailers to get to know te game

 

[MrFox]

I think the head set will be very limited however and also expensive.

1. What makes you think there will be a very limited supply?

2. Why expensive? Big profit or a high BOM?
