PSVR Launches October 2016 -- $400 U.S.

Sony finally let loose the date and price at GDC. Looks like their subsidizing this heavily with the expectation of making up for it on the software side. Spec snapshot below. We finally have all three major HMDs prices and release dates. 2016 looks to be the true year of VR. Now we need only one more release date...

I understand your point about the console. It needs great AAA VR games to get us interested. Right now, looking at the games for PSVR, I wouldn't say there's a killer app yet--I'm borderline on buying it at the moment. For me, it will be at E3 that tips the balance.
19 Days until shipping for me.
I got obsessed with VR back in the 90's and have been waiting for now... I wanted the Omni and Oculus to be my first experience too, but that's not going to happen - partly coz the additional cost of shipping things to Australia from the US (and that whole screwed up pay more for being in Australia thing), but mainly because I missed the initial pre-order rush and figured it'd be months before I could actually get an omni... oh well, that'll be my Xmas present from the family
11 days to go....
You know, looking at it now and just judging it on its look, it's not that much different looking than the other HMDs; you're still putting your eyes through a ski-mask-like device. Specs wise, there's a world of difference of course. Check out the color palate:
People complain about VR headache, well, this is the OG. Makes me wonder what Nintendo has up their sleeves--"Virtual Boy 2: The Epic Return" would be awesome!
About 2-3 weeks for me
@KellCam_Virtuix. I wonder if reading the same thing in the Gear VR with a serene environment would trigger the same headache. Interesting as an experiment...
It won't happen if Virtuix does not reach for Sony to support it, as it is not really Sony's job to seek out input devices.. So I am hoping that the Virtuix folks are on the ball there and are at least making contact.
