DoAX3 is reason enough for me to get this, my lesbian senses are excited by that game hahaha

Though on a more serious note I'm pretty excited. Im a huge FF/MMO fan so FF14 ARR is in the works I believe to get this, I know The souls team stated a year ago in an interview on DSII that they are interested in it for future games so hoping DS3 can get support. My only concern is availability. No clue if pre-orders went live at all but its already listed as unavailable on US Amazon.

400 bucks is still pretty pricey and out of my price range that's the cost of a new PS4. Shocked

As long as they put out content compatible with the device, it should sell well even at that price point.

And you need a camera aswell. Not as costly as the Oculus, but this is still way too much for me. I'll just wait and see a few years, who knows maybe it's a hit.

Let's hope it doesn't flop like the Nintendo Virtual Boy.

Horror games and I'd get one. I've seen too many burned from the half-baked ideas of Sony let alone their game peripherals.

Make a must have AAA IP. Make the jaded excited again.

Until then I'm getting the Oculus. I need scary in my life.

I paid $256 for mine so that would almost be like buying 2 PS4s ....

And with that I am officially not gonna be an early adopter of any VR headset. They are all literally too much for me. The upper tier that I am remotely even considering is $300 and even that is still pushing it for me. So looks like it is the waiting game for me. Sad

For people complaining about the price tag, the current iteration of VR technology is expensive to make. It's not going to be cheap for another 3-5 years. There's not really anything that will change that, so it's best to accept you aren't part of the market if you can't afford it.

Not bad for an new VR head sets, comparing to other headsets sony has made, its reasonably priced I think... Its definetly an option for people who are willing.
I'd want it solely for watching Miku perform.

VR headsets may go the way of Kinect

I doubt that. It could fail console wise, but the PC world would keep it alive.

At least for Samsung Galaxy S or Note users, the headset cost is lowered a bit. Still needs a beefy PC to actually run the content, though.

Maybe I'm just very old school, but I'm not on board with this VR stuff. I'll have to wait and see a few years to make sure this isn't another Playstation Move or Vita.

I want it because: Ace Combat 7


But that game might not be out for a while. Best to wait for games to be made for it while the price drops or people get bored of it and sell it used for a lower price.
