When are these large tech companies going to learn that singular experiences just don't sell well any longer. MSoft is coming out with their goggles as well later next year (Rumor) and all of them will not be coming into my home.
Also, doesn't this need the camera to work properly? Sony not putting the camera in the box at launch hampers this tragedy even more.
GAF is saying it requires PS move and the PS4 camera to work. Not sure exactly, but if true, that's $70 for the camera, however much it costs for the move controllers and whatever they require, then probably $300+ for the actual headset. So...it's pretty much dead in the water. I can't seriously see Sony putting much money into software production that requires an $800 investment on the consumers' end (ie PS4, Morpheus, and accessories) to play.
It requires the PS Camera, not Move. All they've said is that it can be used in conjunction with Move. I also doubt this thing will cost more than the entire PS4. My guess is that it'll retail at around $200-$300.
"Marks says you'll have to be able to drive to the store, buy one, plug it in, and have it just work."
To be honest this is one of the reasons the Rift will beat this. Yes it may require some fiddling but the ability to go back and play a variety of games using the device and not just specific titles tailored to it will be a big plus.
Price is really going to be key to its success, if they don't get the device into enough peoples hands nobody will support it and it'll go the way of the PS Move and Eye Toy, a decent enough piece of tech that doesn't have the games to justify purchasing one.

rift is aimed at the ultra hard core, thats going to be super expensive. i doubt sony is going that high end but its still going to be too pricey for the casuals

The rift is going to be $300.
Do you think Sony's VR will be cheaper than that? Including the camera and move?

Not much, especially if we consider the HW that's going to be available when the Rift releases.
There will be cheap GPUs capable of driving games at high framerates.
Price is not confirmed, but that's their target, it was a recent interview with IGN.
Interesting to see how this will play out. The OR is basically a smartphone screen and some motions sensors glued together with a skimask. I wounder what patents OR has if any. But since Sony's headset is tied to the Ps4 they aren't really competitors directly. Since the Ps4 is so indie-friendly I guess Sony will try to bring over the best projects developed for the Rift to their system.
The big questions though are specs, price and how it will perform running on the relatively weak Ps4 hardware. This is good news for VR overall though obv.

Microsoft is going for AR rather than VR. Hence the cheap google glass knock offs
The future of the PS4...Wa What! Can't wait! Have you people been watching The Lawnmower Man again? Let me know when issh gets real like that movie from back in the 90's. Peace
