New PlayStation VR Preorder Stock Sells Out in Minutes [UPDATE]

@csward: Its a $4-500 add on, of course its low production. They want to hit the sweet spot where there's hardly any extra that way they don't get stuck setting on a ton of expensive inventory.

@csward: yeah sounds like it. They don't wanna just have a bunch sitting on shelves that no one wants. They'd have to eat that loss. Something like the Disney infinity problem. Over produced and undersold.

@ltjohnnyrico: Yours is still cooler to him perhaps, we'll see :p. Still a very nice birthday gift.

@ALLIAMOS: VR cable lolPeeC = $2000 every 6 month, upgrade in 8 years console life cycle = $40000, Occlus= $600, Vive = $800, $200 a mouse, $250 a keyboard, total $450000+ for low quality VR early access trash that will never release. PeeC gaming online = play with hackers and 34 total online population pre game... yeah wise investment decsion, and nice try pretending PeeC gaming still exist.

@ALLIAMOS: Hasn't ps4 been $349 for quite a while now?... and for me it'll be $400 for psvr since I have the other required stuff. Why are pc gamers so adamant about getting others to buy a PC? Is there a shortage of players or something?

@ALLIAMOS: if you're going to add the cost of vr to ps total at least do the same for pc. Also add that 5 year total of upgrading pc parts as time goes on aswell.

@ALLIAMOS: This is a most horrible comparison lol. Someone will actually purchase 3 PS4's? LMAO

@ALLIAMOS: Why would you buy 3 PS4 systems exactly? And who buys there PS Plus Subs 5 years at a time? And calling a $1000 gaming PC great is more than puffing a little, it's a lie as your going to need a top card, processor, ect. to play VR games. Sorry guy, this is a VERY biased comparison...

@ALLIAMOS: Huh? No no no, this is completely wrong comparision. Why you are comparing 3 consoles VR and PSN subscritpion against cost of one PC? it does not make sense.

Option 1. PS4 400 + PSVR 500 + 5 year plan 250 = 1150 vs 1000

Option 2 PS4 S 400 + PSVR 500 + 5 years plan 250 = 1150 vs 1000

Now

PC cost 1000 + Oculus Rift 599 + PC Monitor 299 = 1898 vs 1150

PC = FREE Online, Cheap games. If you on average buy 10 games a year this annual cost of $312 [if you pre order at special price] you can also buy super cheap during STEAM sales.

PS4 = cost of 10 games. = 625.30

so annual game cost 625 for PS4 and 312 for PC.

PC Saving $313 a year x 5 years = $1565 Saving. Take initial cost difference off and you are saving $817 by going with PC.

@ALLIAMOS Um.. what? The Vive alone costs over 800$. I have to ask: Are you stupid? Or just a troll? Hm, maybe both.

@ALLIAMOS: Riiiight, for $1000 you get a PC capable of doing VR, a Vive or Rift, and you won't need to spend hundreds of dollars to upgrade to play the latest games for at least 5 years....

@ALLIAMOS: does that also include the cost of a VR headset and the system specs needed to run VR?

@wahyudil: So what you are saying is that you want VR porn?

@jinzo9988: I hadn't thought of that, but your right. How many of these pre-orders end up on e-bay? Probably a sizable chunk.

@jinzo9988: Hopefully they get stuck with them. It's crazy to think so many people are willing to jump straight into an unproven $500 peripheral.

@javy: The only difference is that this will work and won't be a delayed reaction piece of junk like the Kinect lol.

@skiggy34: Wow... fanboy much? Did you not watch the E3 conference? 50 titles will be out by the end of the year and over 200 in production. And VR isn't all about just gaming. MS is desperately trying to jump on board with VR as one of the reasons for scorpio. And Sony has said how many times now that the ps4 will run psvr. Neo might improve graphics, but the frame rate has a minimum of 60 either way.

@skiggy34: True, Sony's support for the Move controller was less than stellar, to say the least...

@sbkline: Does the rift come with everything for $600? Since you compared it to the $500 bundle on ps.

@the-games-masta: Honestly so do I. Oculus and Vive have been out for months now and I rarely hear anyone even talk about it anymore. Sony is going to hype up this VR crap and you watch after 6 month it will be just like PS Move. I wish people wouldnt pre order this because Sony needs to feel like they did back when PS3 launched. LOST....... Seriously! I love my PS consoles and my Ps4 is ok but Sony thinks who the hell they are when people are rushing to get th elatest and greatest from Sony they know they have you all by the balls and that nothing they do wrong will bother you. I want this tech to succeed but I also want Sony to work for it a bit like MS successfully did with Xbox.
