VR in general seems to be a hot topic. Now that we have the confirmed price of PSVR which will cost $399 / €399 /£349 / AUD$549. I see a lot of gamers get excited over these devices but let’s look at the price. The cheapest VR Unit is the PSVR, however it cost more than a XB1 and WiiU. Is VR worth its price considering what you can buy with $400+? You could buy a VR device and enjoy the games, don’t know if any of the games will be good. Or you could spend the money on another platform which will offer you 1000+ more games and quality ones as well.

Also what ever happen to those worrying gamers that hated Kinect because they didn’t want to get spied on? Now Gamers are happy to fork out $$$ for a head and deck camera? Lol what an odd generation.

I will wait until the hype dies down in my opinion. Feels like another trend that will be short lived.

What do you think of VR, is it worth the price tag?

I'm actually very surprised by the high price tags but I'm absolutely sold, even having not tried it yet. I'm a mostly non sony gamer (I tried to like PS3.) and I am ready to put away my Wii U and start playing in their world. That's just how I feel tonight because I want to try it. I want to believe that Last Guardian and Zero Horizon are good games.

I own a pc so it's arguably smarter for me to buy a Valve headset since it's the price of PS4/PSVR combined. Either way I go it's $800. I'll have to see which one I like the best when they are on display. PS4 is a little more powerful than my pc. While pc has the best library of games.

Last note. I don't believe opinions have changed as you suggest in the title. People didn't want kinect and they still don't.



I already have a 1000 games to play but I have never played any VR games. So that choice is easy. Something new, or more of the same.

Btw the kinect spying conspiracies went hand in hand with the always online requirement. But no worries, since you have a headset on they can't recognize you :p



I'll probably end up with two. PSVR for sure. Not sure which other one I want yet.

Having experienced these new devices first hand, TV gaming feels dated.



I'm taking a wait and see approach, I'll let the early adopters take the risk of supporting VR first.

PSVR is made by Sony..so I don't really expect you to support it :)

Not sure if this comment is directed at me but if it is I've supported every Sony console/handheld, being made by Sony has nothing to do with it  

Edit: if it's not you can safely ignore this post. 



I think I will wait for R2. I feel like all 3 of them are above what my sweet-spot is. Their pricing makes sense but I have one too many sex toys to be able to fit them in

Im ok with the PSVR price but im not getting one because im broke and its launch shipments are already sold out in australia



I'm not interested @ $400, probably not @ $300 either. Sub $200 and we'll talk
