The PlayStation VR promises players new gaming experience where they can “live the game” as it will create a virtual environment that immerses them in the actual game through the headset.

For those who may already have the PlayStation camera and Move controllers but still want the headset itself, Sony will also open pre-orders for the $400 device on March 29; those pre-orders will be available through retailers.
While pre-orders for the PlayStation VR launch bundle have already started in many regions around the world, Amazon’s American and German websites are already out of stock as of press time.
Amazon’s pre-orders for the PlayStation VR Launch Bundle went out in a flash on Tuesday. Now, however, it has become one of the hottest topics in the industry, with more VR headsets and titles coming out.
You can however still buy the standalone unit over at Amazon UK which costs £349.99 – it’s worth mentioning that this is roughly the same price as the Launch Bundle US price, which could be a talking point.
It’s interesting to see such high demand for VR platforms at this early stage, In Sony’s case, the headsets won’t even ship until October, which is still seven months away. The different games are The London Heist, Into The Deep (tentative name), VR Luge, Danger Ball and Scavenger’s Odyssey. If this is your option, please note that you need the PlayStation Camera which is sold separately for $60 Dollars. It’s very likely that the pre-orders will sell out quickly, so get your order in as soon as possible.
Jesse Schell, creator of such VR games as “I Expect You to Die”, recently predicted that about 8 million headsets would be sold by 2017.
