let's look at it another way are u willing to pay £350 or in this case £299 for something ul use a handful of times then it sits on the shelf and collects dust? there is only a handful of game 4 it and 99% of ps4 games don't even support it lol

All the people slating VR have probably never tried it. If you want to experience gaming taken to the next level, get it. If not, don't.

I think it's hard for people to grasp what the VR headset adds. If you sit watching eBay videos then you just won't get it. We have one and my wife watched the kids and me playing it via the TV. She clearly wasn't impressed she thought it looked like every other game on the ps4. So I gave her the headset and her jaw literally dropped. She said to me that the TV really doesn't portray what you experience with the headset on. Games like Eve Valkyrie are amazing and Resident Evil 7 is unbelievable in VR especially with the headphones on, it's downright terrifying at times!
Stores like GAME need to have a unit in every store and they should encourage people to use it. None of the ridiculous charging that they tried to implement when it first came out. Just let people play and experience.

What do people think, is this going to be getting a huge price cut any time soon and ever be in the realistic £200-250 range?

i can't see it getting too cheap. 299 is tempting. genuinely dont know what games there are though and would need the camera and controllers too

It all depends how it does in the critical months following it's release i.e. now. If enough people buy one, developers will see a large enough market to make it worth supporting it with bigger and better games more like the games the regular PS4 gets, but if few people buy it then yes, it probably won't get much more support like many add ons of the past e.g. move and kinect, to name a couple.
I think the pricing makes it a big ask for a lot of people and the cost of move controllers, which have probably sat in some warehouse for seven plus years is scandalous.
That said this is a hot deal and I'd like to see PS VR do well, simply because that will encourage more and better games for it and refinement of the technology for future versions, such as getting the resolution higher, which seems to be the main issue of the current one. If this one tanks, there is that much less incentive for Sony to invest in a better v2.0 model....

I like the idea of having a 100" screen stuck to my head :sunglasses:

Once the cords detached seriously, I am in. It's difficult to get a fully fledged experience with the cable holding me back.

I think the main gripe for folks in cost.. if it was £200-250 more people would have bought it that's for sure, it's 350 for the headset, then really you need to upgrade to the PSpro which is another £350 and then you need the camera £40 and move controllers £60 and of course some games £60-100.. forking out all that cash has to be taken into account when reviewing your experience so is what little REAL content (res7 aside) there is worth the expenditure?

This price with the camera and a controller and I'll bite...remember if you don't already hav ethem you need to budget another £100 for a camera and a couple of controllers (yes I know not ALL games need them, but some are better with them)
Hoping for an E3 update with fixed HDR passthrough as well....
