It's Time For A New Dimension
-Last Wednesday, March 16th, Playstation announced at it's GDC conference that Playstation VR will be released this October with a price of $399.99.

The long anticipated virtual reality machine from Playstation will finally reach the consumer market this fall. This news came by way of mouth straight from Sony at their GDC conference and came as no surprise. We've been told many times that this machine would come out this year, 2016, so when it was announced to come this October, it wasn't too big of a surprise, but still an exciting announcement nonetheless.

Many predicted the price tag of $399.99. Keep in mind though, that this price tag is for the headset and accompanying essential pieces only. You can expand your experience by purchasing a Playstation Camera and two Playstation Move controllers as well. The camera and two controllers are estimated to add an additional $100 to the total making the ultimate Playstation VR experience a $500 one.

Still though, with that price tag, it comes in as the most affordable virtual reality machine. The HTC Vive machine carries a hefty $800 price tag and the Oculus Rift packs a $600 price. Because of these differences in prices, many predict that the Playstation VR will sell the best, although nobody really knows.
