Previews are looking good.. Let the battle between Valve, Oculus and Sony begin

So, this is probably a little too clean cut to be correct, but we may be looking at a price line up looking something like this.

PSVR: $299

Rift: $399

Vive: $599

I am a little disappointed in the camera. Don't get me wrong it is awesome that they added that so you don't have to take the headset off to see in your room, but they could really have made it dual/3D cameras to give you an AR experience as well as the VR. Oh well, maybe the next revision.

like 2k expensive?. I'm honestly seeing Vive as being better than OR, especially with Valve behind it.

Also digging that GITSS style look as well.

Does this mean that PC VR is already dead now?.

Will it not be worth bothering with?, this makes me wonder why people buy anything that's expensive, it clearly must not be worth it if it's expensive than something else.

No, but...I expect the Rift to cost like $399-$449, PSVR to cost around $299-$349, and this to cost like $599-$649.

From what I hear it's the best of the big 3 as far as tracking and such goes, but is it going to be $200 better than the Rift?

No, of course not. But I think Vavle is facing an uphill battle here.

Oh, and just realized I've made two different predicitons as to what I think the Vive will cost hahaha. hhmm...I'm thinking $599 is more realistic due to the camera and the fact that HTC has promised that it will come with an audio solution (like the Rift) and it's laser tracking system is probably pretty expensive.

At the end of the day there are going to be 3 headsets that all do and focus on different things within the VR spectrum, what I'm getting from these PP comparisons is that higher (price point)PP=shit/going to flop/useless, otherwise if it's expensive and does well then the price is worth it. People thougtht the PS3 was worth getting that second job for, I honestly don't know why it can't be applied here if a huge company befrehand used it and came out fine.

Even then fgrom all this PC VR is going to get roasted a hell of a lot, we already see roasting for PC builds, imagine the released PP for all 3 devices and then comes the "you need X build to handle this VR device" followed by "Why you shouldn't play X on PC", this is all I'm getting from PP comparisons, otherwise who cares, as long as you're fine with paying the price and like the device. I paid about £950 for my current spec and I'm more or less fine with it and I'm still upgrading pieces in time.

Is it an unwinnable battle though?.

There is always going to be a more expensive option but I don't see Valve pulling an Xbox and throwing in junk hw that costs 3 times as much.
