Announced hours after Sony made their announcement. I wonder what, if anyting this means for the price of the PSVR2?

Eidolon1369d ago

Just glad I got mine earlier this year at Gamestop with trade credit for 299, was the latest revision. It's gotten so much use. I'm def ready for the PSVR2, going to pre-order for sure.

Meta must be allergic to good publicity.

CaptainHenry9161369d ago

Quest 3 will be out soon as well

Eonjay1369d ago

There a wild theory that the Quest 3 will debut at $499 and that this was intended to mask the sticker shock.

crazyCoconuts1369d ago

I'm trying not to be but I'm still bitter after they started selling the Rift S in 2019 and then announced it was being discontinued in 2020/2021. Of course I bought it before the announcement. I have not been super happy with these guys...

MehmetAlperTR1369d ago (Edited 1369d ago )

I was going to buy.. But now, i ll not buy it...

darthv721369d ago

you can still get the 128gb for 299. They havent upped the price just yet. You still have a week to get it for less.

Eonjay1369d ago

About 5 days left. I feel bad for folks who Mike not have 300 to throw at this until after the fact tho.

Fishy Fingers1369d ago

I was going to buy now im not going to buy before they raise the price :/

ABizzel11369d ago

I had to make sure I was reading this right and that the price was going up.

MetroidFREAK211369d ago

And with that, I will NOT be buying into this ecosystem now

It is a rare move to increase the price of existing product, for such an old product as well.

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

A good start would be to release games to go with the console. My Xbox Series X has gathered dust virtually from launch. My advice would be to ditch a next console and release games on PC, PlayStation and Switch. Another idea would be a hybrid console based on Xbox Series X tech and go the same route as Nintendo. Another idea would be to pull out of gaming altogether. Plenty of options there.

Five Games I'd Love To See On the Neo Geo AES+

These classics need to make a return.

Blues Journey is the game I'd like to see.

Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.

Agent7553m ago

I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
