I think its a fair question to be honest...

I wouldn't have had a clue so the question (and in some ways your answer) were beneficial to the uninformed types, like myself.

Foresight is key.. I posted a thread very early this year telling everyone to buy PS Moves for the sub £10 CEX were selling them for, they are now going for £30.00 a piece.

Not an excellent price.
Standard price
But hard to find

You couldn't give these away last year, people labeled them the same as the PS TV ie useless !

any difference from first camera and v2 part from the look?

I bought a few Move controllers from Sainsburys before the PS4 launched for something like £8 each. They had already announced the Move controllers would be compatible with the PS4 so seemed worth the risk back then.

I paid slightly more than this at tesco last week so not a massive deal but still a saving

I think you mean £40 in CEX. They give £28 trade in!

Is this essential for the VR headset?

I paid £45 in Argos this week. Ordered from Amazon and will be returning other one.

problem is no decent games on vr yet. that'll take a while and by that time prices on a lot of these will have dropped.

Didn't know PSVR was released last year....

Check the Amazon warehouse. I got one when they had 20% off and cost me just under £30.and it was still sealed. There's 4 atm for £36.66

Not sure why though, the old move controllers will likely not last long as the lithium batteries degrade

Run it through Flubit, picked mine up when they were last in stock for £34.

​True, bought mine last year for £20 only bought it so my PS4 would log me in via face recognition.

Agreed, they can be very hit-and-miss and I've missed out on deals in the same way.

I also tried a few weeks ago though (3-4 at most) and it worked for me, and arrived pretty quick.

Just ran it through FB now and it's come back at £37.89 so not as good as it was previously. Still saves a few quid and appears to be working at the moment.

​i bought mine for something like £15 for 2 from blockbuster. so that gives you an idea of how long ago it was. still work perfectly.

Lucky, i got both mine out and they wouldn't charge

With the VR headset maybe? Not everyone knows this things!

The full cost can come up to around £1000 for people who don't know where and what to buy, there always seems to be another piece of the puzzle to get the damn thing working!

Decent price but you may as well just buy the older PS4 camera because functionally it is exactly the same.

£1000??? How on earth did you arrive at that figure?

I mean if you are buying a PS4 Pro from scratch, brand new, and then extra controllers, Move controllers, camera, PSVR... then you find out it doesn't work with your bloody TVs!

Even so, a grand is over-ambitious :smiley:

Thankfully my running total is much lower (just over £400 without games) for the same setup (Pro + PSVR + camera + Move), would choke if it were near a grand!

Ive had mine since launch and they hold a charge pretty well.

Cool story bro. Shame it's not true

Cool story bro. Shame it's not true

Unless you stole the PS4 Pro there's no way you got it all for just over £400.
PS4 Pro £349 (minimum £239)
PSVR £349 (minimum £280?)
PlayStation Camera £39 (minimum £19)
Move controllers x2 £69 (minimum £12)

Total £806 (minimum around £550)

Im calling BULLSHYT on that!

I did say this is MY RUNNING TOTAL. Fair to say I haven't been extrodinarily lucky with mental deals or anything, just savvy shopping and careful use of vouchers/cashback/resale:

PS4 Pro - £162 after sale of PS4 & cashback & Tesco CC vouchers
PSVR - around £183 after Amazon vouchers (from TopCashBack), additional cashback earned, and £50 profit from selling my "spare" unit.
Move controllers - £14 (got the last two from CEX online before they went up in price!)
Camera - £34.

Hmmm... If I win the PSVR in the flame deer hunt then I'll consider buying this :stuck_out_tongue:

Spent 459 on a 4K TV, 379 on the Pro Bundle and 35 on controller. Hopefully get cash back and credit on the TV and Very Pro order though. If it does that's £180 off the total. Still have headset and now this camera thing it seems.

Haven't had a TV in nearly 9 years now but the missus took an interest after seeing the drive club VR demo on social media so..

Anyway, about the silly how do you think it works question, well I was assuming algorithms, accelerometers and a bunch of other sensors. Robots and drones know where they are in space, many without GPS. But yes, I don't design VR headsets so I don't know exactly how PSVR works, having only heard about it a couple of weeks ago. Will read up on it all at some point.

Waiting on the headset price to drop right now. £350 everywhere :confused:

Great Find :smiley:

Flubit came in at £33.68 for me, but the question is do I actually want/need it?

The reason why everyone is calling you out is because you said £1000 for everything was over ambitious... and yet you compared it to your £400 "running total" which turns out includes the PS4 you already own, vouchers and profit from ripping off someone else...

I'm guessing my old ps3 camera won't work with a ps4 but my move controllers will?
