PSVR 2 Is Now Available At Major Retailers

Placed an order at my local BB, will be picking it up tonight. Can’t wait to try it out!

OK, I think this is really going to help Sony shift a lot more units now. Good move. And, hopefully this means I'll finally get to demo the damn thing. I want one myself, but I'm going to shell out until I can test it firsthand to see if the mura and small sweet small is something I can live with.

Never buy anything Playstation related other than the main console. Their handhelds fail, their PSVR failed, their motion controller thing failed. Sony for whatever reason just do not support them with their own games. They'll make a few and give up on it and then it dies slowly supported by third party while their entire first party focuses on the main unit.

I'll buy PSVR2 when it supports PC and costs £300, then it will replace my Oculus Quest 2.

It still needs more original games, particularly AAA. All peripherals are at some point in danger of becoming a Wii, an ornamental object that sits on a shelf, ignored, after a time. But I still think ultimately it will have been worth it for someone like me who hasn't previously owned another headset.

People rave about games like Pavlov and Runner looks like a potential Sleeper hit. An early price drop is a nice pipe dream but unnecessary if I can get my VR feet wet with lighter experiences (of which there are already plenty on PSVR2) before diving into Gran Torino and Resident Evil. And I will definitely hold out to experience the RE4 remake in VR.

God, I'd love to be a guy working for Sony's VR team right now. I'd be trying to get a license for a Rogue Squadron-type game and pitching a stealth action game and an espionage RPG.

Great, now maybe more games will come. Heck, I would even buy a lot of ports from the previous version.

Um... It was available day 1 here in Canada at least at WalMart, and also Gamestop Canada

The fact that it's not in stores in day 1 means they don't want it to succeed in a long term. This thing is a brick. Not enough games and you have to buy a ps5 us a deal breaker. You gave to spend over a grand. The games are expensive too. I worry about support.

Oh wow I assumed it already was.

Being tethered to the console is a dealbreaker for me.

Hm, now I wonder how much of an impact this strategy of selling the headset only through their own website has had on the low sales. If it's not being sold anywhere else, then there's no ads for it to be found on Amazon, etc. Which probably makes a big difference.

Not sure why Sony has decided on this strategy at all. They've never offered anything exclusively through their site before. Even when it would have made it a lot of sense for the first 1-2 years or so of the PS5's lifetime to deal with scalpers. Or is that why they've decided to release PSVR2 in such a manner? Thinking that it would be just as popular as the PS5.

Make it PC compatible and I will get one. The PS5-exclusive VR games are not enough yet

About time, maybe I’ll even get one now.

They need to include a price drop with that if they really want to get people interested in a proprietary headset. I don't play much, maybe a few hours a week in VR but I haven't touched my quest or PCVR since I got the PSVR2. I just feel more immersed when I'm in PSVR2 because of the deeper blacks and the blocking out of all incoming light sources. Not to mention the wider field of view, everything just feels a lot more open, I feel kind of confined when I'm on the quest.
