PlayStation VR release date and price leaked, cheaper than Oculus Rift

4.6

A Swiss online retailer has listed Sony's VR headset, PlayStation VR, for 498 Swiss francs (that's around €455 / £347). According to the retailer's listing, shipment of the VR headset is scheduled to commence on June 30, 2016. Sony has yet to comment on the matter.

It's a stark contrast to another recent retailer listing, when Amazon Canada suggested a price at $1,125 Canadian Dollars (that's around $800 USD), although that price point was denied by Sony immediately.

When it comes to VR, pricing is a sensitive issue, as demonstrated when Oculus recently announced the retail price for their headset.

I'll wait until the price drops before I consider buying a VR headset :)

Confederation that would be awesome!

Hopefully Xbox One makes something similar to this!

It would be pointless. M$ is smart enough (kinda) to not waste money when there is competition. It would be stupid imo, I wouldnt buy it. Nor would I buy a PS VR.

It would have to be around $300 before I would even consider buying a VR headset.

Microsoft Hololens man.

I think that's something different. Microsoft is partnered with Oculus.

Slightly cheaper than the Oculus, but is Sony's VR locked to only playstation? If so, then Oculus is the way to go.
