PlayStation VR Launch Bundle Pre-Orders Start Tuesday (Update)

Sony Computer Entertainment announced a few days ago that the core set with only PlayStation VR‘s headset and The PlayRoom VR wouldn’t be made available for pre-order in North America.

This, rather obviously, caused none-too-pleased reactions from many, and Sony decided to heed the feedback and backtrack on the previous announcement.

Wow. Now all talking points are dead. I think they made the right decision by opening pre orders for both.

G20WLY3709d ago

I think so too! This means I can now pre-order! :^D

Thatguy-3103709d ago

Don't see what was so hard to do that. It seems like the best option. Sealing the 400$ sku! Can't wait!

This might be of interest for some then. No Man's Sky compatible with PSVR:

@The_Infected:

Driveclub is coming to PSVR too.

ArchangelMike3709d ago

Woah, this is MAJOR if it's true! PSVR will have its killer app!

URNightmare3708d ago

This was confirmed a while ago.

dennigo3708d ago

Ok, a follow up video explaining that Cobra didn't know about Cinema mode so Gamestop may have been doing what Gamestop does:

As far as I know they clearly stated that it's a later possibility but they want to finish the game get it to market first.

This is not confirmed yet.

This is great news! Originally I was a bit disappointed the stand-alone wasn't going to be available, but if I had to buy the bundle it wouldn't be so bad as I don't have the PS camera and no move controllers (at least none that I can find... but I think I bought one back in my KZ3 days). Plus I really just wanted to use VR with my controller anyway.

But now that I know the bundle is $500, it's actually a pretty great deal. The extra $50 (as compared to getting a stand-alone plus a $50 camera) is quite the value. Two move controllers ($60), the camera, plus PlayStation Worlds (which might retail for $20, maybe more or less?) for just $50 more than if I was to buy the stand-alone plus the camera? I'll take it! And worse case scenario if I can't wake up in time (I work nightshift, so it will be tough waking up only a few hours after I've gone to sleep) is I can always try again next week for the stand-alone.

Also I think having the move-controllers will be a nice option, as they may add to the overall immersion and depth of certain VR games considerably instead of just using a controller + camera. But either way I am so hyped! PSVR is going to be insanely successful, these pre-orders are going to dry-up most likely in a matter of seconds after they go live. I expect Amazon to get the "This item is current unavailable" within a minuet or two after 7AM. Although now that the bundle isn't the only option, there is probably quite a few that will wait until next week, so maybe it won't sell-out as quickly as it would prior to this news.

Either way I am sure we will see an article or two about the insane pre-order numbers later tomorrow and throughout the week. Probably a lot of "PSVR pre-orders sold out in a record-breaking time on this website" kind of news.

It's time to start a new era of gaming folks! (Heck even movies too, as I bet VR movies will start to flood the market in 2017 due to millions upon millions of PSVR's being used in homes across the world). Very exiting times! Can't remember the last time I was so hyped for a "peripheral", don't think I ever have been. The amount of potential here is this all goes well is just mind boggling.

SaveMeJebus3708d ago

Wow, 6 minutes and Amazon sold out of the bundle. I had to take the dip. You only live once right?

rekk3708d ago

fyi you guys can still preorder at gamestop.

ArchangelMike3709d ago

There was never really any doubt that Sony would offer both bundels

MasterCornholio3708d ago

Well yeah it would be false advertising if they did. It was pretty obvious that they would have preorder for the core system.

Majin-vegeta3709d ago (Edited 3709d ago )

Lol i told you guys.

Good luck to everyone trying to secure one.Member just fight your way through if you have to ;).

I think if there were 100 left and ip man were guarding them, we'd all just tell our other halves and friends that they ran out.

Are a bunch of games, some of which are nearly 10 years old not one being from 2026. Barely one from 2025.

I do like the irony of the closing paragraph though, "Why VR Adventure Games are Thriving". Really buddy?

mooreneco2135d ago

That’s because it’s his favourite VR adventure games thus far, a great game always a great game regardless of age - Half life 2/ Ocarina of time - are old but still among the greatest games of all time. The irony of it is several are from last year, depending on platform, have you even played VR?
