Don't all buy it at once and break the internet. Form an orderly queue.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Still having difficulty getting rid of the remaining supply?

 

[AJUMP23]

I thought that was the price it already was.

It was more than $400? Call me when they want to liquidate.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Still needs some big games.

Not expecting anything major until Resident Evil 9 and Ace Combat 8.

[Lucifers Beard]

Awesome. Mate of mines controllers are not charging so he said he's just gonna buy a new one.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

This is starting to look like they just wanna get rid of it tbh.

I also think this is it for Playstation and VR.

There were some price drops near the end of the last year down to $349USD, but all temporary.

 

[Shifty1897]

Wasn't it $349 for Black Friday? If I didn't buy it then, why would I buy it for $399?

 

[saintjules]

I knew this looked familiar

Only you know the answer.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

That’s a lot of Xbox Series consoles.

 

[Deft Beck]

Still way, way too expensive.

 

[lmimmfn]

Wow, i just looked up the current price and its 599Euro, thats an absolutly crazy price, i got my Meta Quest 3 in December for 529 euro, i always though the PSVR2 was only ~400euro.

 

[Evolved1]

you can always tell who hasn't played vr in these threads. hilarity.

 

[balls of snow]

Pc compatible is tempting. Might snag one on Black Friday just to play HL Alyx.

 

[Miles708]

Got my PSVR1 for 150 Dollars and still feel ripped off

They ain't coming. Best you can hope for is solid third party games like Metro or Alien Rogue Incursion. And that's only if they're not Meta exclusives like Batman.

Yes and it outsold the Series consoles for that price. It did incredibly well.

This is the price point that makes sense, valuewise. I understand why it was so expensive to begin with but they couldn't make its value match the price. At $399 it's FAR cheaper than VR1 was which didn't have the motion controllers except in more expensive bundles..

 

[keefged4]

I picked mine up last black Friday for £350. It's still my favourite PC VR headset. Definitely worth it.

 

[pqueue]

needs to drop another $100.

 

[Skifi28]

Makes it easier to take the plunge. I don't think I've ever seen it below 600€ over here.

 

[Radical_3d]

Don't all buy it at once and break the internet. Form an orderly queue.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Tempted just to play GT7 VR but at this point Ill just wait for it get cheaper.

 

[RedC]

I bought it this past Christmas season at $349.

Great purchase.

If you haven't experienced GT7 in VR, then you are truly missing out.

 

[willothedog]

That’s a lot of Xbox Series consoles.

Nah just of the flop that was PSVR2 with a second warehouse full of copies of Concord.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Still too much for a headset that isn’t even stand alone or cordless.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Even Apple has given up. Seems the only real app is porn and that's about it.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Dude, there's no series x anywhere, really. They've more or less stopped manufacturing them.

 

[Unknown?]

PSVR2 outsold Xbox in many countries during the holiday sale and was close in the US. You living under a rock?

 

[Kikorin]

I'll have one when the price will drop in the 99€ tier. The hardware looks great, but is dead from day one basically, so would be a fair price just to play the backlog.

 

[Evolved1]

i'm not sure what you mean tbh... literally everything (gaming) is better in vr.

 

[K' Dash]

Is it true you can’t watch porn on this?

I guess it doesn’t matter since there are cheaper alternatives

[neocycle]

Because VR failed.

"Wanna play Half life 3? You must buy our €1500 headset!"

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Pc compatible is tempting. Might snag one on Black Friday just to play HL Alyx.

I use mine for PC and PS5. Half Life Alyx took a little work, I had to increase my page file to 16GB I believe.
Then the floor is about waist height, I found out with a lot of Steam VR games you gotta put the headset on the ground and then click this developer calibrate button.
Then it was all good!

There's lots of great VR games now. Started Behemoth not too long ago. Metro, etc. People that think it still doesn't have great titles are just ignorant at this point.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Before the price reduction, PSVR2 selling for more than PS5. $750 cdn!

At the new $400 US, it'll probably be about $550 cdn.

 

[willothedog]

Super, now what are the total sales of each?

 

[Trogdor1123]

299 on Black Friday I bet

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

What's a shame is that VR is in a good spot now, I absolutely love my q3 and psvr 2 and man it's just a shame because it really is awesome now... Games like Behemoth, Arken Age, Red Matter 1 and 2, so many more are so fun and awesome.

 

[ArtHands]

Wasn't it $349 for Black Friday? If I didn't buy it then, why would I buy it for $399?

Its a stock clearance

 

[hououinkyouma00]

I wondered if they would ever bother dropping the price. I believe it sold every well during the holidays at the $349 price point, so maybe they can pick up some steam.

I planned on selling mine, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. Unfortunately VR just makes me feel sick so despite just how amazing GT7 is in VR I barely use it and never actually even finished Metro despite being super hyped for it.

Weird. I never had that issue with Alyx. Mine just straight up worked “out of the box”.

I gotta do that headset on the floor and hit the dev calibrate button for almost every game.
The page file was interesting. I'm sitting here on a new gaming PC with a 4090 and 64gb of ram, and it was still complaining about something.

I only tried two games on PC while I still had it hooked up and both worked fine. Metro didn’t run very well on my pc weirdly (5600x/4070S) so I refunded it and got it on PS5 but I never had any non performance issues.

What OS are you running?
