So you’re long sighted?
That’s what melts my head a bit. I know the screen is very close to your eyes but assume it’s projected so far away stuff seems far away. And for me it’s the far away stuff I need glasses for.
For anyone who finds the Oculus uncomfortable and unbalanced as I did one of these was the game changer.

yeah long sighted, it was melting my head too. The screens are close to my eyes but give the impression of being far away. A bit like the cows in Father Ted (small v far away).
Regardless, you can use your own glasses or get custom lens inserts.
Same here and I've always worn my glasses inside the PSVR headset. Never bothered me. I don't know about other headsets, but I assume PSVR 2 will be similarly accomodating.
Ah. Ok. Cool. Good to know. Glasses don’t get steamed up?
Ooh. Nice.
It's been a while since I've used it, but I can't remember it ever happening. Apparently some people have had issues with their glasses scratching the PSVR lenses, which I never really thought about. I guess depending on your model of glasses, it might be less comfortable or more likely to scratch.
Never heard about custom lens inserts for headsets, that could be an interesting alternative, although I assume good quality ones won't be cheap.
I'll put this here for the VR fans, but has anyone tried the Half Life 2 VR release yet? I'm going to try it today, could be another amazing showcase of how VR can elevate a game. Or it could make us all puke 
How much is this expected to cost?
Probably be the same price point as the original, so £350-£400.
That seems optimistic. With how cutting edge the specs are this time around combined with the current state of the of the world, general rising costs and global supply chain issues, it would very surprising if they managed to keep the price down. And it's Sony.
"We want consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one.' We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else."
Personally I reckon £450-500

Erghh. Not sure where that quote is from but can’t say I like it or think it’s appropriate.
Not sure if it's an exact quote but Sony did say something to that effect when the PS3 price of $599 was announced.
Personally think it’s awful PR
Yep that's what they said at the launch of PS3. Did not go down well...

I'll be sticking with my Oculus - love that thing.
530 quid holy crap! Was going to get this but might have to hold off you know.
Yep no chance I can afford that. I’ll likely be moving house around that time too so might have to be a mid year purchase.
Five hundred and thirty quid for a gimmick
Oof. They're gonna need some killer games out for it before I even consider a purchase at that price.
If it was backwards compatible, or if there was some guarantee that old titles to be ported to the new headset would be FoC to existing owners then the price isn't too horrific. But based on Sony so far this gen, and cross-gen ports are going to be priced accordingly. I loved my PSVR for what it was, but having gone to PCVR from that, and now mainly just a Quest 2 I can't see myself picking this up unless there's literally a must have title in the vein of HL:A or whatever.
The other issue it has is there's essentially a dearth of development for the higher tier headsets these days since Q2 cornered the market.
I think they've shot themselves in the foot a bit.

Just a point too, Feb 22 is my birthday so while I don't actually want one of these if you were to buy me one I'd definitely find it a good home for it 
Considering the specs, I'm not surprised at all. It was clearly never designed to be a low entry product.
Jeez
Got my pre order invite
Can I come play?Got my pre order invite
You could see this price coming looking at the specs, should be no surprise really.
Wont put me off getting one mind you, after all, who the feck needs two kidneys?

If supported by developers. It should be a decent investment considering it will last the console generation
How soon did you get it after registering dude?Got my pre order invite
