PlayStation VR2 pre-orders officially go live today

PSVR 2 pre-orders are scheduled to go live today ahead of the February 2023 release date directly from Sony's online PlayStation store.

UPDATE: Live now in Europe for those who registered to buy one.

[ocelot07]

Got my invite link yesterday. Tried the link at 11am UK time (ways it goes live at 1pm) and I was able to order one. Went for the standard one without the horizon game. Simply because I'm not sure what type of game horizon is.

[Neonridr]

where did you order from? directly from Sony?

[ocelot07]

Yer I registered my interest and they sent me a link to buy one for today.

[Neonridr]

@ocelot07 - nice. Up here in Canada Amazon and Best Buy just dropped the preorder links. I snagged the Call of the Mountain bundle from Best Buy along with the charging station. Weird that Amazon only had the VR headset but not the bundle (at least currently).

[ocelot07]

Oh good that you got one. Think there sold out on the UK direct now. I had the chance to get the horizon bundle but I'm just not fully sold on it yet so just got the headset.

[Neonridr]

@Ocelot07 - yeah was pretty easy to snag one here in Canada as 3 different retailers all had their preorders go up. Amazon ended up putting the Horizon bundle up too, just a little later.

What I am surprised about is them charging basically a full priced game for Horizon. ($79.99 here in Canada)

[ocelot07]

Is that how much horizon is going to be at retail? $80? Oh lord maybe I made a mistake buying just the headset lol

[RpgSama]

Got mine as well

[ROCKY28]

I received the invite and would buy right now if they announced a new WipEout VR or another killer racing game
I do not like the launch titles except the rollercoaster horror game but I will not spend 600 just for a rollercoaster game
I can play my PSVR1 - so many cool games that you can't play on PSVR2 ? nuts that Sony didn't make it backwards compatible with PSVR1 Games.... they would look super sharp in 1080P or 4K ?

[ocelot07]

It's not that they don't want to make it backwards compatible. They are going from 10+ year old tech (move controllers + camera) to inside out tracking.

Only way they can make a game backwards compatible. Is it they go into each and every game and redo the code. This is why they have left it up to developers if they want to go back and do this. For example Hello Games and No Man's Sky. They are giving the free psvr2 version to anyone that owns the original.

[CBaoth]

firesprite is rumored to be working on a new installment for VR. Don't know if true but a lot of former Wipeout devs work there still.

[fr0sty]

If they update the hit games like re7, astrobot, wipeout, no man's sky, etc.... I'd consider it just to get to play all those great games with proper tracking.

[ocelot07]

I know No Man's Sky is getting a free upgrade. I know resident evil village is getting a vr mode. Since 7 is also a ps5 game now I'm sure they can add VR mode to it.

[BLAKHOODe]

I got the Horizon bundle and got the charging station, too. Quick 'n easy process. The verification charge/credit showed up on my credit card immediately.. I also pre-ordered TWD Saints & Sinners 1&2 bundle thinking it was a launch game, but then they changed the release date to March.

[darthv72]

Got my preorder in. $600 after taxes... but it was worth it.

[crazyCoconuts]

Got mine in too. Still not 100% certain on this, but I'm going to take a gamble

[Neonridr]

I reserved one anyways. I have until February to decide if I want to keep it. At the end of the day it's only $50 more up here in Canada for this unit compared to the original with the Move Controllers and Camera.

[1Victor]

I got my from PSdirect for $707.67 the horizon bundle and a charger

[BLAKHOODe]

I bought the same. With taxes, it was $688.98.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I got an invite, but can't afford it 🤷‍♂️

[potedude]

I can afford it but my wife might divorce me...

[mandf]

Ordered so excited

[TheGrimReaper]

Mine is ordered and confirmed :)

[1nsomniac]

Begrudge paying £530 for it but I’ve ordered one. I think a fair price would have been £450-475. I think it probably would of been that price if they, like everyone else, hasn’t realised they can get away with the “cost of living” excuse

[Orchard]

I have an invite and I'm not planning on buying this - so if anyone didn't get an invite and wants mine (it looks like the link is not tied to my PSN account) - drop me a PM and it's yours.

[BLAKHOODe]

It is linked to your account.

[Orchard]

It doesn’t appear to be - I signed in with my wife’s account and it would still let me add it to cart. Unless it checks later?

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Grabbed the charging station too 🤘

[mandf]

That's going to be a must.

[Neonridr]

I mean you can charge the controllers with USB cables, but the convenience of just putting the controllers onto this thing is going to be so much less of a hassle. Cleaner too.

[MIDGETonSTILTS17]

Exactly…. And it specifically said that it’ll save me a USB port, which I can’t really spare

[BLAKHOODe]

Keeping both Move controllers equally charged for PSVR1 was a huge hassle for me. I got a charging station for my Meta Quest 2 and realized that was so much more convenient. So spending that extra for PSVR2's charging station was a no brainer.

[Profchaos]

Secured mine $200 AUD deposit in Australia looks like supply issues are not a problem as the next day all suppliers still have stock.

[derek]

Got mine, can't wait.

[Bathyj]

Dammit. I was going to hold off then I saw this article went to JB Hi-Fi at got a pre-order.

[S2Killinit]

I didnt get an invite

[SullysCigar]

All done, now the hard part... I have to wait!

[metalhead]

Pre ordered mine this morning. Horizon bundle

[Babadook7]

No invite. Because this ps direct doesn’t ship to Canada I guess.

Edit.
“Where can I pre-order PSVR 2?
For the initial pre-order phase, Sony has stated that early orders will only be available through PlayStation’s online store at direct.playstation.com for players in the U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg.”

[Gamingsince1981]

Well other comments say there are at least 3 main retailers selling them in Canada including Amazon

[Babadook7]

I eventually got a preorder from GameStop

[Neonridr]

I hadn't heard about Gamestop, they must have gone up much later in the day. Glad you snagged one though.

[Gamingsince1981]

Nice work , I imagine it will be a huge step up to the first psvr , I wish I could get 1 myself but I don't even have a ps5 yet, I'm just pc myself. Not that I could get one if I had the money, ps5 is sold out everywhere in my country and when they do get some they are already gone via pre orders.

[SurgicalMenace]

Mission complete!!

[ROCKY28]

No new WipEout VR no buy PSVR2 until Sony announces a new WipEout or WipEout XL Remastered 🙏🏼

[fr0sty]

I'll give them a pass if wipeout for psvr gets ported. And astrobot. More astro vr is a must.

[leemo19]

Able to get mine, looking forward to Feb. to trying this bad boy out.

[Echone1]

I will definitely buy, but I am considering if I must necessarily buy on day one. Horizon is not enough for me yet. I need a confirmed update for Moss book 2, Beat Saber, and some new game with Astrobot (the best game on PSVR1).

[Aussiesummer]

One of the great things about living in Australia is no registering, no wait list just pre order the bloody thing, bam, done.

[Neonridr]

yeah Canada was the same

[jjb1981]

I'm really excited for this and I hope it exceeds the joy of opening the original PSVR. I remember taking the day off and waiting for my order from Target all day. I'm interested to see how this foveated rendering works.

[Bathyj]

Does anyone know if the horizon bundle is a disc copy or download code?

[BLAKHOODe]

Download

[Bathyj]

Thanks.
That's what I was hoping.
