Brian Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Get a PSVR 2 with Astrobot 2 bundle out by the holidays in actual stores. It may start to sell better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or hell, even a remastered Astrobot on top of Call of the Mountain (which should have been free with the lower priced bundle, cutting out the other sku) with an announcement of part 2. If they can get that and Half Life 2, they might turn this ship around (because I have no evidence, but like you, I don't think this thing would have sold extremely well).

Early vibes are similar to the Vita. Huge improvement in hardware, but interest and sales are soft. I think not being in stores is an issue along with a lack of marketing. It makes sense not to strongly market until you have your key software ready. When Astrobot 2 is ready, I expect a greater push from Sony. Rumor is Sony will have a huge 1st party showcase in the summer. I expect the announcement and release date in 2023. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Sony would sell a bunch of these if they made an official PC driver for it. It competes with the Valve Index for $400 less. There's no downside to them releasing a PC driver as it won't negatively impact it on PS5 in any way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it in stores, and get the damn price down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Hope somehow this finds a way to be a small success in the future if that’s price cuts or what, as I love the unit. Almost done with Switchback and I love it so much despite the blur in that one. The blinking eye tracking thing is a trip lol that game gets me.

Spork3245 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Looks like this is finally going to be available in retail stores starting May 12th 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Glad it will be in stores, but at this point, it feels like it is best to wait until the holiday. Feels like a bundle or discount is bound to happen in 2023. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they made an incredible headset, but everything around it was dumb. The price, not having PC support at that price, direct order, etc. And we haven't seen or heard anything on 1st party games (for VR or the PS5, really).

HardAct Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Those that own this VR Headset: Do you love it or hate it or somewhere in between? Did you own a VR Unit before this purchase? I have never even tried VR but have always wanted to give it a try if not outright owning a good set. This set, the PS5 VR set has been the closest I have ever been to buying one. I have very much wanted to Play HalfLife: Alex I'm pretty sure that's a title not available on the PSVR2 set. So is this VR set recommended of at this point a pass and wait for maybe Meta 4's set? If I do buy one I'm going to want one that ticks most all boxes and doesn't need modules set up in the corners to work. So the least wires would be great. I doubt the PSVR2 is the one for me but am really wanting to know what the overall opinions are from those that own it and maybe have for awhile?

Quest 2 just got a price reduction to 199, Walmart include a 50 gift card with purchase. Quest 3 light will have the better processor with the same optic lenses, that will release later this year for probably 299 depending on if it comes with controllers or not. The PSVR2 pc support will be a ways off and in that time the headset price might go down. If you want to commit, I recommend the Quest 3, if you just want to dabble and "try" VR Quest 2 is a steal right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great headset with crap software, aside from a few gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
