If you're going to include the cost of the PC that I already have that already meets the requirements, then you might as well count the cost of the PS4 in the requirements for the PSVR.
In any case, I'm not bringing up the additional costs for PSVR to start an argument over PSVR vs Oculus vs Vive or whatever. Let other people rate the experiences of each, present the pros and cons, and let the consumers decide what's right for them. I'm only bringing it up because I think Sony's being a bit quiet about the additional requirements.
As for the VR experience, I don't think it's a gimmick like 3D. I feel pretty comfortable saying that it's the direction gaming is definitely heading in, but the question you have to ask before you buy into any VR is "are we there yet?" I kind of don't think so. That's why, even though my PC is VR-ready, I'm holding off a year or two. Let them work out the kinks, and (on the PC at least) figure out which VR solution gets more widely adopted or has that first killer app.
I see what you mean about Sony being quiet about that.
As for PC setup, I really think it's the way to go too! it'll be better and cheaper than setting up a 3 monitors gaming system. Just driving in a racing game where you turn your head to see the other cars instead of pushing a d-pad button or better yet, flying in a Valkyrie and seeing all of your surrounding (can't wait for EVE: Valkyrie!!).

you know what scares me from dropping 400+. is the fear of getting dizzy.
the first time i really got motion sickness from a game was playing portal up close on my laptop and tele-porting through a loop that spun and repeated several times. messed me up for 12 hours and i was careful after to keep away from my screen when playing those type of games.
VR is just so up in your face.. i just think dizzy complaints that are going to happen.
yea...about that dizzy thing, that's definitely an issue. Sony needs to set up demo stations at retail stores so people can see if that causes issues before that 400+ investment.

I'm hearing that those prices don't include a required camera.
You are correct, the price doesn't include the camera which is an additional $60. also some games will require the Move controller which is additional cost.
But I think it's still cheaper than the other VR headset requirements, which is a PC in the $1,000 range (which is NVIDIA GTX 970/AMD 290 equiv or greater
Intel i5-4590 equiv or greater 8GB+ DDR3 RAM HDMI 1.3 video output 2 USB 3.0 ports)
i think this thing is a short fad gimmick like 3d, i'm going to wait though before passing too much judgement
I agree, it's going to be a niche audience, but the experience is awesome!

Ace Combat 7 with VR...<drool>
Yes, that's one of the titles I can't wait for too!
here's a video of some of the games

Sony just announced the Playstation VR headset will be released in October 2016 for $399, €399, £349 and 44,980 yen.
Below is the links to the games and comparison chart with the other headsets

Do Transformers combiner count? Because there's a whole toy series based on combiners ;; Devastator, Superion, Stunticons, Predacons, Protectobots, techonobots, combaticons, etc....

Just curious, any one thinking about a VR headset (Oculus, or some of the other stuff)? The Oculus' recommended specs were posted and I was thinking to myself that maybe it was time to look at one.
I recommend waiting, currently there are tons of games and apps in development, but no Killer app is out right now. VR is awesome and it’s something you have to “experience”, it’s difficult of describing it. Sure you can describe a rollercoaster ride, but riding it is a whole different thing.
There’s a Mech Demo for the Oculus and it definitely shows the potential of this platform. No more need of buying 3 monitors to setup. You can see all around you including behind. That’s why I can’t wait for Valkyrie’s release.
Unless you want to become one of the early adopters/pioneers, I would wait. Currently the Playstation 4 VR has the best line up in terms of game releases.
One of the coolest app currently is the Oculus Cinema. If feels like you're in your own private movie theater.

Thanks wmkjr and funkymonkeyjavajunky for your responses. I'm blown away you are able to pack in 31 boxes in a closet! My place is so small, even doing wmkjr's great tip will only help a little. I feel a little bad for throwing away these boxes @_@;;
-
Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question to all the guys with the super large collections, what do you guys do with the empty boxes? Do you guys store them or throw them away? If you guys store them, how do you manage the space? They take up so much space! (and I would rather use that space to display my other toys. I know you can collapse the boxes, but what do you do with the inserts? Can you guys give me a few pointers?
Thanks in advance!

That would be the cherry on the top and so epic!
-
At this point, I would not be surprise if the final episode is about a robot dance off between the 2 opposing forces...
-
Just saw the preview episode......WTF did I just watched @_@;;
The Valk action was cool, but I don't know about the other stuff.
I promise I will buy all the Valks from this show if Graham's vision comes true.

Trypticon for $118.49 at amazon (lighting deal)
forgot to add link
36% claimed as of this post

Does anyone know if it's a licensing deal or is it a buy out rights to the brand?
-
I must admit I've disliked what they've done.
Not only did both Inaho and the princess survive but now he also has the power of Aldnoah? Agh...it just irks me that they didn't have the guts to really kill at least one of them off. It would have made for a more interesting story in the second season.
I originally felt the same way too, but we're talking about Gen Urobuchi....I think he will have some good stuff in store for us :-)
it does feel like a reset, but this time Nao is a bad@$$ with his new bionic eye...it relates to his personality even more now! :-) I do really like how that lined up.
-
Alnoah Zero is back! I'm so glad the new episode explained what happen
-
No Cross Ange? It's getting surprisingly good.
I agree Cross Ange is indeed getting good :-)
I would also add the following for 2014;
Aldnoah Zero (my top 3 anime of 2014)!!
Fate Unlimited blade works (the art and animations is very high quality)
Amagi (is one of the funniest series of 2014)
-
Thanks Technoblue! .... I would have rather the battle mask...
-
I'm not sure if this was answered or not, but does anyone know why MP Bumblebee comes with 2 faces?
-
Hey, what version of Classics Prime is that? I have the Henkei edition, but it only has chrome on the bumper and grill, not on the legs. It looks interesting!
it's comes in the TRU twin pack
