PSVR2 is not out yet...

PSVR2 is not out yet...

I believe the point they were making is that in the US (and some other regions) you can only preorder directly from playstation. And that a preorder is the only way to guarantee a launch unit. We have no idea if they will be available day one at other retailers, or how many would be available if so.

Thanks for sharing Prometheus.  Lots of good choices on there.

I always laugh with all the "requests for comment", I'm sure plenty of times it's not worth the no comment. Keeping my pre-order.

Requests for comment are just standard practice in journalism. Ignoring rumors and speculation by declining to comment is also pretty standard practice, but providing comment to a secondary outlet after declining the primary outlet is odd. Especially when the primary outlet is as large/legit as Bloomberg.

 

Not trying to insinuate anything beyond that PS's PR team is weird, though.

History tells us they will be at every "normal" spot.  The thing isn't out for a couple weeks.

 

I have also chatted with Best Buy and they told me they aren't sure about preorders yet but they will have them available to purchase on February 22nd.

Kayak Mirage VR went live for preorder with a 15% off discount (from $22.99 to $19.54). A double dip of $5 gamestop monthly rewards for two $10 psn cards lets me justify it as a $10 out of pocket game. Many have said it’s one of the most beautiful games they’ve ever seen. Even if it’s light on content, which I hear the pc version is, for that price I’m definitely looking forward to it.

The discount is only for PS+ members but yeah, I am hearing great things about this game. The Gamestop $5 monthly is still a great deal even if you can't get the $5 eshop or MS codes anymore. You're getting 50% off every month regardless which $10 digital currency you buy. That means you only pay $60 for PS Premium before any sales they might have like they did last year which was even cheaper when it went on sale for $90. You can even combine the GS $5 promo with dollar generals usual 20% promo every end of the year if you want to save some additional cash. Nothing is as good as a deal though than the 50% off EVERY month that GS offers. This is of course assuming you only buy the $10 card. Double dipping every month is going to get you $20 in digital PSN for $10 cash or your GS trade credit. This makes owning PS Premium (or the other lesser tiers) a no brainer IMO.

So they really did do away with the $5 Xbox and eshop codes? That’s a bummer. I usually get a $5 code in store and a $10 psn code online

Is GT7 for PS5 available cheaper than $40? The previews have me hyped, but I'm normally not a sim racer fan so I'd prefer to pay less for something I might barely use.

[jsivley]

I don’t think GT7 has been less than $40 at retail or digital. I’m lucky enough to have a friend who will loan me a copy. I haven’t played GT since 3 I think. Definitely don’t feel like spending $40 before trying it and knowing if I’ll play it

It is $39.89 right now on the PS Store.

 

So, technically.... less than $40.

Other than older games with updates, are there any physical copies of new PSVR games up for pre-order, or are they all digital?

I see this on amazon.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution - Payback Edition (PS5)
So I would say yes there is going to be physical games.

[Tothoro]

From Sony's FAQ:

 

Will PS VR2 games be digital only or will there be physical disc releases?

 

PS VR2 games will be available in a digital format. Physical disc releases for select titles will also be available.

The more reviews of GT7 and PSVR2 that I see make me more interested in picking it up.  

 

There aren't a ton of other game that interest me right now, but I've already invested in a seat and a wheel for GT7, so this would be cheaper than the next rig upgrades that I was looking at.  

 

Still waiting on Amazon to be able to sell it since I'm sitting on a bunch of credit there.

To my knowledge Sony hasn’t commented on retailers having a physical presence. Obviously they will eventually, but who knows when. They HAVE come out and said preorders in the US are ONLY through them

This is the most up to date faq, just released today. This is not the first time they’ve released this info

“How can I pre-order PS VR2?

In the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, players can pre-order PS VR2 from PlayStation’s online store at direct.playstation.com.

In other markets, PS VR2 will be sold at participating retailers.”

[psunami]

Yep.  I've seen that.  

 

Just hoping that they eventually release it to other sellers.  I'm patient and can wait for a while.  No need to have this at launch for just one thing.  

[jsivley]

Basically, if you want to ensure a headset at launch, preorder from Sony. If you can wait for who knows how long, then don’t. Most consoles have historically not been easy to get at launch (I know it’s not technically a console, but it’s close enough). Personally, I didn’t want to wait. I usually don’t get anything at launch, so I can definitely understand why others would rather hold off

Considering you can get a PSVR2 preorder right now from Sony Direct, I think they are going to be simple to get at or after launch.

 

Also, the Best Buy chat told me they will have them at release on February 22nd, but YMMV with that.

[Freeze Time]

I don't foresee them being difficult to get at all.

I don’t want to get to hopeful that it ships early, but I wonder if the horizon code would work if it did.

The floppy outer box that tears easily is back!

 

Gamestop has some Townsmen game in physical form and that's the only one other than Walking Dead I've seen not digital.

 

The games that seem most interesting are:

Horizon

Tentacular

Pistol Whip

Kayak VR Mirage

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge
