I'll wait till this hits $300. I waited for the first version and got it for like $250. Used it for a bit and now it sits in the drawer because it is a pain to hook up. Plus it does not support HDR so if I want to connect it to my PS5, I have to rearrange all the wires.

For this kind of price, I really hope Sony makes it PC compatible down the road.
A price that is a low price for a next gen headset... Pcvr is dead and makes them no money.

Agree. Disappointing that it isn't backward compatible. So you need 2 vr sets or just stop playing all the PSVR1 games? Thanks Sony. I'll keep using my PSVR1 that works with my ps4 pro and ps5.

Maybe in 2 years when PSVR 2 has some titles I really want I'll buy. Or just stay with VR on pc using one of the highly rated sets.
I retired my PSVR1 gen 1 and gen 2 once I upgraded to HDMI 2.1 120hz TV since they both to various degrees neutered me back to 60hz.

Do people not realize that PSVR did very well despite being one of the worst VR headsets available? If you're paying attention to VR, you'd notice that PC VRs greatest weakness is lack of quality content. Sony has a sound reputation of having a great library of games. Pretty sure they plan on repeating their success.

Sony can plan all they want but the reality is that this does not have nearly the same outlook. It's almost twice the cost and none of the previous games work. It's a death sentence. This would have been a slam dunk if it was backwards compatible. But as it stands I just don't think it will be nearly as successful.

I was extremely interested in the PSVR2 when it was first announced. Sony is trying to pull the same invitation-to-preorder idea from the PS5 console. The bottom line is that although the PSVR2 have awesome specs, it is still an accessory. Without direct wired connection to PS5, it's dead weight. It's definitely overpriced to the point of negatively impacting adoption rates. Those who are buying it now are either diehard fans or scalpers. Very likely due to the low preorders, it has now opened to the public. Not a very good sign...

You can say all you want? O_O

It's much cheaper than the quest pro with PS5 and PSVR2 combined. Lack of backwards compatibility does suck, but it hasn't stopped platforms from success. There are many examples of this...like PSVR1. They probably plan on streaming that in the future. Declaring these issues a death sentence is a poor assumption IMO

I think the discourse is valid, but outright saying one or the other remains to be seen. I really just don't see how this will do. People aren't going to be comparing this to the Quest Pro. They're going to be thinking about the Quest 2. I hope it works out but I'm not holding my breath.
