Next year will bring us Sony Playstation's VR headset, but if you are wanting to get one, expect to shell out some big bucks for it. Sony said that they are going to price the VR headset like they would a separate gaming system, which would probably put it at around $399.99. Why so much? Here's what Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House had to say about the new device:
“VR rewrites the rule book on how you can create games,” House added. “You’re seeing a large amount of interest and work happening among smaller teams, because it’s possible to create something in VR that is very simple but still very magical.”
I guess all of that extra entertainment is what's pushing the cost up, eh? If it works as well as they are advertising, then I guess that pricing it like a separate gaming platform is understandable, and maybe even reasonable, just too rich for my blood. The exact date for it's release is still unknown, but it is definitely being released some time next year. Along with it's 2016 release, Playstation will also be releasing 10 fully-featured titles that will be exclusive for the VR headset.
