eBay fodderRegarding the sneak PlayStation VR2 price announcement I have to say I’m pretty certain it’ll be a scalper’s paradise. I wasn’t expecting it to be sub £400 but over £500 is a big outlay and with the scalping overlords you’ll be looking at least £800. In a way that’s OK with me, as it’s still not certain whether Team Asobi are even making Astro Bot 2 and there’s no indication of Half-Life being ported over either, so I can wait.

Unfortunately, I don’t see the public being desperate to buy an overpriced one as it’s pricey without a scalper’s grubby mitts on it. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X were new consoles, which is more enticing than a still niche VR headset. That launch line up currently doesn’t scream ‘Buy me!’

If it turned out that a full Mario-sized Astro Bot was a launch title then I would be certainly thinking differently, but Sony seem to think that replicating a sub atomic particle in the vacuum of space is a good way to distribute sizeable news stories, like the launch of an upcoming product.Wonk
