Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft announces new VR headsets for Windows 10, starting at $299

Wow, $299 is un unbelievable price. Where did this come from?

But it doesn't work on Xbox 1?

Cheaper AND no need for external cameras.

If it works as well and as comfortable as PSVR this could really challange Sony.

Good move!

My thoughts are that these are EXACTLY the headsets that Scorpio will support.  They said they weren't doing their own, and everyone assumed Rift or Vive compat..   But it seems these "cheaper" headsets would be the plan.  And with a $299 starting price they will be cheaper then PS VR.

depends on when they release and what specs you get for $299 though

next year PSVR could be available at $299 aswell

Doubt you will see $100 drop in 1yr..  and in reality.. it cost $499 for controllers and camera.. even $449 if you just want the camera..  These for $299 do not need a camera as they have inside out tracking.. and its just as easy to say that if these release in early 2017 that they could be $249 by the time Xmas comes around..   either way I think we can safely assume it will be cheaper then PS VR even if just by $50..
