It was obvious this was going to happen. I want to know the price so I can see if I was right with that too :)

When the PlayStation 4 VR headset launches this October, it'll cost $400. That's $50 more than the cost of a PlayStation 4 console — required to power the headset.

And that's not all: you'll need a PlayStation 4 Camera as well, which costs another $60, for PlayStation VR to function. Really!

SonyThis is PlayStation VR — the headset, anyway. It also requires a PlayStation Camera to function.

Sony revealed as much during a presentation on Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco during the annual Game Developers Conference. 

And to us here in attendance, that seemed a little crazy: buy a $400 VR headset peripheral for the PlayStation 4, then you're forced to spend another $60 just to make it work? Huh?

Sony, thankfully, has a solution.

In an interview with PlayStation's worldwide head of studios Shuhei Yoshida, he told Tech Insider that there will be a bundle in North America that comes with a PlayStation Camera and a PlayStation Move motion controller. 

"There will be a bundle in the SCEA region [North America] with Move and a Camera," a rep sitting in on the interview told Tech Insider (after much cajoling from Yoshida himself). Sadly, the rep wasn't able to give a price for the PlayStation VR bundle that includes the (required) PlayStation Camera and (not required, but important) PlayStation Move controller.

So, why not just include a PlayStation Camera in every PlayStation VR headset sold? There's a (somewhat) reasonable answer to that: Plenty of folks already own a PlayStation Camera, apparently.

"We didn't put it in because many people already own it," Yoshida told us. Oh? How many people? "A large enough number of people," Yoshida said with a smile. He can't actually divulge numbers, nor could he offer a percentage — there are 36 million (or so) PlayStation 4s out in the wild. I asked if it was over 50% of owners; again, he couldn't offer a specific number. 

Fair enough, but clearly Yoshida respects that some folks won't own a PlayStation Camera and will want a wholecloth solution to buying a VR headset for their PlayStation 4. Sony has another seven months or so to figure all this stuff out, so here's hoping it does.

there may be millions out there in the wild.

That's very true. It was 15% back then, even it it's dropped to just 5% that's 2 million cameras in the wild and that number will certainly go up before october.

So having without the camera is nice for the millions of PS4 owners who will already have it by then.

So including price cuts to both ps4 and this. By Christmas of 2017 you will probably be able to buy a ps4 and the complete PSVR bundle for $550. As the gen goes on and if both can continue to go down this thing could really go mainstream.

I'd be surprised if Sony didn't reduce the price of the MOVE controllers and the Camera too.

It would be awesome if all of these new content gets put into one thread! Maybe an official PSVR thread?

yeah and make one for the NX too. would clean up the forum no end. 

I'm glad they thought about the initial buyers of the PS camera.

Well, all of the NX threads we have are not "Confirmed" or real! Unlike the PSVR ones. And it would help people who are still on the edge of buying it to see what is available and coming for the product. Plus I might missed a certain information about it. 

already have two PSMove during PS3 so the HMD and the PS camera is all i need this Oct... 

of course plus at least one more game for it...
