That's exactly what I came here to say. Buying PSVR2, a PS5 and a single game will easily run you over $1,000 - that's crazy. It doesn't even make sense why it would exist in the market; the $400 Quest 2 probably has a larger game library and better overall experience than the PSVR2. Premium customers have the Valve Index available at the $500-$600 price point, and further down the road it's expected to see Apple compete in the standalone premium headset market. This product makes zero sense in 2022, I sorta wish Sony spent some more time figuring it out.
- sylens 4y agoYeah, I think the price by itself isn't a dealbreaker, it's all of the context. If I could hook this up to my PC and use it to play Half-Life Alyx, or scoop up a bunch of cheap PSVR1 games on Black Friday to catch up on, it would be a much easier purchase for me.
- christkv 4y agoI think its not going to be compatible with PSVR1 games unless they are patched.
- itsyaboi 4y agoWhere are you seeing the Valve Index for $500 (assuming not second hand)? Wouldn't mind picking one up for that price...
- smoldesu 4y agoMSRP for the standalone headset is $500: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059530/Valve_Index_Headset/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/1059530/Valve_Index_Heads...
- branon 4y agoThat page says it requires the base stations. Can you use the headset as a standalone display output without base stations? I can think of at least one reason why people would. As long as you had a compatible media player and video file...
- itsyaboi 4y agoTechnically right, practically useless. -1
