Not a chance mate, I'm amazed its come in as cheap as £350 tbh, was expecting £400-450 myself.

thanks for that, £350 eh, so I will be telling the Mrs £150! :smiley: .... I was hoping for £300 max, esp seeing as I need to buy the camera to, but I guess gives me more time to save up! time to start looking for a cheap 2nd hand camera.. will be looking out on amazon for pre orders for this

Also £5.99 at GAME pre-owned if your local has stock. Not great stock levels most places though.

Heat added.

Charging station £3 del amazon prime http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-Move-Charging-Station/dp/B004477IZA/

Kept mine thankfully. Have 2x Move and 1x Nav controller. Thats should be enough. My local cash generator (Nottingham) selling new Cameras for £22 each, had a good 5. Cheapest you would find around i would say.

thankful I kept my controllers when I sold the ps3. wish psvr was releasing June as planned. I can wait

Yup. Have ps tv (£18) and the sony 7.1 headphones (£38) also. Been there for a few months at that price! Plenty on display, so either not selling or they have plenty in stock. No clue why they would have so many! Cant see them getting new stock direct from sony..

Damn, I've seen a few ps tv's come through for £20 but i would snap there hands off for the 7.1 headphones for that price. guess it's just the luck of the draw.

Are cash generator and cash converters the same thing? I might have to drag myself down there and have a look.

not same company but they are both pawn shops.

Okay, thanks :smiley: I just wondered cause their websites are surprisingly similar.

Yea, wish i held off for my ps tv. Paid £70 from game, few months later it was half price everywhere. Still have it and never use it. The headset, been tempted but i have a jabra revo wireless and it does the job.

looks like peorders are about to open tomorrow on amazon for psvr

Please be advised that PlayStation VR will go on sale at 11:00 GMT on Wednesday, 16 March, 2016. Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. This product comes with a UK plug and therefore may not be suitable for use outside of the UK.

I've still got my two move controllers and navigation controller and charging dock. so very pleased they will be used again. need to pick up a camera now.

has the PSVR release date been announced then, also any news on the price?

thanks for that, £350 eh, so I will be telling the Mrs £150! :smiley: .... I was hoping for £300 max, esp seeing as I need to buy the camera to, but I guess gives me more time to save up! time to start looking for a cheap 2nd hand camera.. will be looking out on amazon for pre orders for this

preorder is 11am tomorrow on amazon

I would love to say yes, but i have no idea when im next heading into the city. Will happily take a look on next time im in there.

I wonder how many pre orders they will be taking, I am at work so need to keep an eye on the time and use me mob to log into amazon and preorder..

Alright thanks mate. Cheers.

I start work at 11am, so going to head in a little early to get my order in

£350 piece of equipment still requires a £30 camera? I'll hold off...

Its still better than Oculus or Vive prices.

Driveclub is going to be awesome with PSVR!

​Can see why they've done it that way for those that have the camera already.

preorder on game

Are these a must for PS VR? Can't I just a normal DS4?

Years have passed since this was released but it still reminds me of a dildo. lol

Same type of B.S. mentality that Nintendo has assuming whoever buys a 3DS already owns a 3DS charger.

how do you know theyll be compatible for ps4? i have a feeling sony will cash sin on the chance for new access or ones.

vr crap will never take off.

forgot to ask if the PSVR will come with any bundled games as to use straight away?

Not for me, I've got 2 that's gathered dust for about 3 years. Seems a good time to give them a clean. :smile:

​With me already owning one, it's the BS mentality I like. And if you don't have one it's confirmed there's another bundle that includes it but shock horror it'll be more expensive.

And I can't see how afew quid charger is on the same level as a £30-£40ish(?) camera.

Do you need the move controller? Assume you need 2?

I'm amazed the new PS VR will use these PS3 Move controllers, I had them when I owned a PS3 and thought they were next to useless; inaccurate and ungainly. I also expected an upgraded camera to be released as the current PS4 camera isn't even as good as the Xbone Kinect, so again surprised that it will be good enough for the VR add on.

probably just you.
you know what dildos are modelled on yeah? this isnt really the same
....get the magnifying glass out if you dont believe me!

I recently ordered this in the hope that I could use my move controllers for racing games on the PS4...
Sadly not :disappointed: (I left a review).
However, it does work nicely on the PS3 :smiley:

Pre-order has gone live on Shopto website, both with and without the camera

is this £10 for 1 or 2 controllers? So if you need 2 for VR and the price shoots up you could be looking at another £60 ish?
For VR do you need 2 of the same, or 1 navigation-type?

Save a whole 8p by ordering the camera and PSVR together. So generous :laughing:

Just Preorder with camera from shopto.

If you want to cover yourself, i suggest getting 2 move and 1 navigation.

Just wait until everyone is complaining how much motion sickness the PSVR will cause. Prices will plummet and they'll end up unused like the Wii and the Playstation move or whatever else was a fad.

No motion sickness for the vast majority as it runs at 120fps.

Pretty sure it has 90hz and 120hz as supported modes. Games at 90hz with frame drops could be a problem.

They're doing totally different things. Kinect is tracking objects 'free form' with no marker points to help it out while the PS Camera is looking for the lights on move, dual shock and VR units. Given enough data points it's relatively easy to track where an object is in space and how it's moving, especially if those data points are designed to be uniquely identifiable (check the light pattern on the PSVR, it's like that for a reason...). Considering this is the hardware that's been used in all of the recent demos there's no need for concern on that score. Kinect on the other hand relies on effectively flooding a room with IR and mapping a 3D model of the space based on IR distortions then updating that model to map movement. Vastly harder task, though demonstrably more nuanced if you can get it to work (coincidentally Kinect V2 is actually pretty damn good at this).

Pre-ordered the VR from Game last night (And shopto this morning as a backup for when Game inevitably screw it up), but I'm steering well clear of the move controllers until I see a game which requires them. Used the move back when it launched and it was just frustrating given how inaccurate it was. Reading about people's experience with the PS VR games has reinforced the opinion. http://www.gizmag.com/playstation-vr-review-hands-on-gdc/42321/

Main reason I'll bet getting one is to play PS4 games in the theatre mode, watching movies, and dabbling with the VR games that use a Dualshock. It's going to have to be an impressive looking game to tempt me back to the PS Move.

At E3 2016, Sony might finally unveil Playstation Move 2 as previously rumoured/leaked..

Although it wasn't revealed last year, I think it has a good chance of being revealed at this year's E3 conference.

You haven't got a clue what you're talking about

350 for VR is a bit of a joke.

Why? You're getting a high quality, 120HZ OLED screen strapped to your face, along with the additional processing power to output at the required frame-rates. Not being a fanboy and blindly defending it (Have Ps4, Xbox, Pc and WiiU), but I'm genuinely interested in why people feel £350 is totally unreasonable.

No spending £1,200+ to have a Oculus Rift and PC good enough to drive it is!

PVR is the cheapest proper option out there.

True, but I was expecting them to market at around the 200 mark.

Not a chance mate, I'm amazed its come in as cheap as £350 tbh, was expecting £400-450 myself.

Yeah and look at the release price for vita. PS tv. The original price for the ps4. Once they get enough released they will buy cheaper components and the price will be cheaper. Like yourself I pretty much have owned every console since back in the 80's. Have had numerous pc's tablets and laptops. Just saying 350 is bit too much. It's more expensive than the console...

Just bought these, dropped one - in amongst small print "not original" although shows Sony product.

Damn it.

Just pre ordered PS VR and got a nice 18 pound discount using my NUS card i can always cancel it later if i decide to wait.

Also looking at Sony EU we always get ripped. The US will get a release price around 399 USD. example That should be around 250 GBP. I will be in the US around the time of release and if they are compatible I will pick one up.

I don't think the US price includes the sales tax so add another 60 dollars and our VAT is 20%

its a poor exchange rate but the pound has plummeted recently against the dollar

These will likely go up in price a little once PSVR is out, but £30-40? Really? No chance. Maybe £20 at a stretch. My local Cash Generator has these for £5 a pop regularly so might be worth checking your local and see what they're charging.

Cancel the sale PDQ and complain to eBay - listing clearly shows the Sony logo's on the item yet says it's not original. This breaks eBay rules on use of trademarks and logo's. They should be all over taking down listings like this.

Can anyone confirm you need the PS4 camera for VR?

Can't cancel (too late?) but will contact fleabay, thanks for the advice

Yup, you do.

Reported, cheers again

What a pointless comment. Most tech becomes cheaper as time goes on. You pay a premium to have it first.

Samsung Gear VR + One of their newest phones is more expensive and you're stuck with play store games.

Oh gosh do they sanitise these first?

Doubt it, but this deal may help :wink:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/wilco-3pk-condoms-half-price-47p-2413751

Your comments are a bit crazy..

Its like your saying

"I'm not impressed that new tech costs more on release and eventually will come down when said tech is cheaper as such i am unhappy that it isn't 2 years in the future when its cheaper"

Well the U.S price doesn't include sales tax, whereas the U.K price includes V.A.T. $399 converts to around £280. When you add on V.A.T, it comes to £336. So yeah, we're getting diddled for £14. It sucks, but let's face it, compared to most big international tech releases a 5% markup isn't actually so bad. As for the price going down over time, of course it will. DvD players used to sell for over a grand, 720p T.V's were £2000-£3000 just over 10 years ago.

Your point about being more expensive than the console is a fair one, but I can't imagine they're making huge profits on each unit at launch (They have gone on record as saying they aren't selling at a loss though). They've also said they're treating it similar to a console launch, so in all likelihood for the first 6 months to a year, most of their profit will be coming from software sales. If you were expecting this to be £200, you only have yourself to blame. There's some fairly decent R&D costs that have gone in to this tech, and when coupled with the cost of components, it seems unreasonable to expect them to sell it for £200.

And again you're wide of the mark, by the time you have bought shipped and paid duty and VAT on one of these from the states you'd probably end up paying more than Sony are selling them for in the UK.

See for yourself from here
http://www.dutycalculator.com
Shipping will be about $35-40 insured from the states.

You've missed the 3.7% import duty too.

Fair point, that would bring it £346.

​no motion sickness at 120fps

​for brand new tech? I paid 500+ for my ps4 bundle on release day, its insides being standard PC hardware. I have no complaints atall about 350

​Probably because it is possible to buy a ps4 for little more than £200. This makes the vr cost well over 1.5x the cost of the console itself.

£10 for this, £6 for hustle kings (i think) - and you have yourself the ultimate pool simulator. really cant rate it high enough

Going to pick these up tomorrow, can anyone confirm whether you need a move and navigation controller or 2 move controllers?

Yeah, the and PS4 has been out for nearly 2 and a half years. In that time they've improved their manufacturing efficiency and the costs of components have dropped, meaning they can sell the console for less. In the same time frame this headset will probably be around the £200 mark. If you think it's expensive now, just wait a few years and pick it up when it hits a price you find reasonable. No need to cry on an online deals forum and decry the entire future of V.R.

You dont need any, but most of the games are compatible with them, and i have seen at least 2 games that use two move controllers.

Now I can say to everyone

I TOLD YOU SO :stuck_out_tongue:

It wont be long before sony release a conversion player.

99% of 3D movies are pretty poor quality though, and not worth the hassle over their 2D versions. I've had a 3D TV since 2011, and watched maybe 3 movies on it. The novelty quickly wore off. I've been loving the PSVR since I got it on Thursday.
