PlayStation VR will be “priced as a new gaming platform,” says Sony

4.6

Sony’s PlayStation VR headset will be priced similarly to a new gaming consoles, according to CEO Andrew House.

Speaking with Bloomberg at TGS 2015 House didn’t reveal a specific price, but if his comment is anything to go by, the headset could cost around $399.99. That’s the price of a standard 500GB PS4 in the US. In the UK, the standard console’s suggested retail price is around the £350 mark.

The SRP is listed above because depending on the retailer, the console can run quite a bit less. As could the headset.

The firm expects ten titles to launch alongside the headset when it hits the market next year.

You must have money laying around to pick up something like this, the sound must be amazing for that much money.

This looks really good but I do think it will be a little overpriced to be honest, it wont stop people from buying it though

I can tell that this will be extremely overpriced. I don't like how companies are replicating what others have already done.

The prices are sorta expected. I don't think anyone expected them to be cheap, I doubt I will buy them when they are released but would love to own a pair.

The dev version of the Oculus Rift costs $350. I doubt it will stay $400 considering that is was an estimate. Also, VR gaming is now just coming up. You can't expect it to be so cheap.
