PlayStation VR Will Be Out This October For $400

Sony’s virtual reality device will be $400 and out this October, the publisher announced today.

The PS VR games demoed so far use the Sony Move controllers, or the standard PlayStation DualShock 4 controller. Your head movements and orientation are tracked via the PlayStation Camera, which tracks the nine LEDs placed strategically on the headset.

Also the PS VR got some very impresive specs for that price:

Display: OLED
Screen Size: 5.7″
Resolution: 1920 x RGB x 1080 (960 x RGB x 1080 pre eye)
Refresh Rate: 120 Hz, 90 Hz
Sensors: 360 Degree Tracking / 9 LEDs
Field of View: Approximately 100 degrees
Latency: Less than 18ms
Controller: DUALSHOCK 4 and Playstation Move

Sony is partnering with EA and Lucasfilm to make some sort of Battlefront game for the service, also they said that the PlayStation Camera won’t be included ( and you need one ), for the VR full experience, the cost will be 60$ for the camera.

The PS VR will be available in October, 2016
