Hope it doesn't cost more than the PS5!

You could say the difference in specs going from PSVR1 to PSVR2 is a bigger "generational" leap than PS4 to PS5.

Excited for this but they really need to ensure there is a stream of constant high quality games but I'm not holding my breath.

No, but it will save Sony CEO's!

No but you won't miss your marriage when you can use the genital attachment with Crash Bandicoot and possibly even Tony Hawk (subject to licensing).

If your marriage needs saving, more gaming is likely going to end it. Not save it. Attachment or not.

Will PSVR1 games be backwards compatible with it though? And can the headset be used outside of Playstation, like on PC with Steam VR games?

I've read there are rumors it will be backwards compatible. I'm super hyped for this headset, actually. I love my Quest, but I really enjoy the living room VR experience with friends, and the Quest streaming leaves a lot to be desired on my setup.

It's already announced to not be backwards compatible with PSVR1 software because the head tracking is so different. Devs need to make a PSVR2 (and therefore PS5) version of old games if they want them playable.

Finally! It's bout time.

That's a bummer, planning to finally play skyrim vr on psvr2 because og psvr is a massive chore to play with

They really should push this as a multi platform headset. I'd love to be able purchase this for my PC.

don't worry they'll raise the PS5 to ensure that doesn't happen
