I think the price is appropriate for the quality of the product.

I think people are missing the point of the PSVR2-PS5, it is a high end PCVR quality VR system for around $1100, and that makes it very reasonable for what it brings to VR, both PVCR and Meta do not have the Triple-A games to push VR forward, but more PCVR headsets and standalone will be released into a stagnated market so everyone will be playing the same games they were playing 3 years ago but on faster better but more expensive headsets and PC Hardware, PSVR2 is the push into the future that VR needs right now.

I’m buying this for gt7. Everything else is a bonus :-)

[aayaan]

I’m convinced, my PS5 is getting a brother!

[InfectiousGroovePodcast]

VR is something I've always wanted to get into but just haven't. This really seems like the right way to jump in with both feet. I'll more than likely be picking this up and taking the plunge into VR.

[golions]

I really REALLY like the idea of one cord to the PS5, some easy calibration and BAM ready to roll. Just preordered this.

Dude was testing the headset and thought to himself, why just cover the upper half of my face, when I can put a mask on also. This most certainly the safest review on youtube.

[ice]

I just realized that since this is wired and that it doesn't require a camera to be looking at the headset at all, if you dont want a cable coming towards you because it might get in the way, you could just face opposite of the ps5 and that way the cable is always behind you.

[kraenk]

This isn’t comparable to a Quest 2, it’s actually 20 times more powerful and has much better specs and features.

[Foodthought]

Why do people keep complaining about the freaking price? Let that person decide if something is expensive or not. To compare the price to Oculus was not only unprofessional, but has nothing to Dow with the PSVR2 review. Yet we are wondering why VR is slowly “dying”. Reviewers like this are annoying as heck. Stick with review. Keep it positive and move the F on. You can bring up the negative in almost anything. It’s counterproductive to a healthy environment. I’m not saying lie about a product, just keep it upbeat. I miss the days when games/devices just gave you the good information. It’s been proven that people remember the one negative out of the thousand good. Your not being a good “reviewer” just because your adding bad things. You just come off as annoying and causing harm.

[terogamer]

People keep complaining about the price "Oh no you need 1000 usd!" Well 1k usd get you both a PS5 AND a state of the art VR headset that is actually better than its true competitors, the PC VR headsets that actually alone cost more than a 1k without counting the expensive PC hardware to run it. It's so weird how noone mentions that and keep trying to compare to Quest 2.

[zipppiz]

You could always wait, I'll say this is a perfect VR headset for what you pay and will get you years of fun

[Cshizzle]

Damn. I went from "this is gonna flop and I don't care", to "I might buy this next week." Lol. 550 (while steep for me) is honestly not even a huge ask given what tech is packed into it. I can't believe it's an OLED panel too. They went all out for this.

[focusflute]

PreOrdered!!! LOVED the first PSVR and this looks to be a HUGE leap forward

[shpearg]

Really good, well-informed overview. Don't think I was left with any questions.

[parenthlete]

It’s so immersive the reviewer even felt the need to mask up in his lounge 😂

[joeylo]

To be honest, the PSVR 2 is not expensive at all. Nowadays a RTX 4080 costs minimum $1200 for just a overpriced card. I used to game on PC only, but I have been gaming on my PS5 every now and then. What makes the PS5 successful is the games are optimized, they run smooth and beautiful. On the other hand, nowadays pc games especially the AAA titles are not optimized at all, developers expect the gamers all use 4080 or 4090 to run their games in 4k. For a pc gamer to run high resolution on a high end VR, it requires a $3000+ system plus the cost of the headset. For me, the PSVR 2 is a bargain when I know every game I run on it will be smooth and beautiful. Also, I can always resell my ps5 games while I cannot resell my games on Steam.

This is my first experience with VR.. Wow my mind is blown away. Sensory overload in a good way. I’m glad I made the purchase.

[buenasondas]

It still boggles my mind that no one can seem to go 15 seconds without saying how expensive this is. Yes, you need a PS5. But the headset itself is $50 more than Quest 2 large HD version (A whole, whopping 10%), and this device obliterates the quest in visual fidelity and horsepower. With the obsession about price talk, you'd think this thing cost was the Pimax Crystal does.

[Belgarath]

Responding to the comment toward the end of the can move around when tethered. Most of us don't trip on the wire despite not standing in place. It's very easy to adapt to one thin wire which I'd rather have versus an uncomfortable face heavy headset.
