The only thing it feeds to the PSVR is the 3D audio which it *does* process. No PS4 GPU/CPU cycles spent on Audio. Hopefully this puts the rest the misinformation about the box having an external GPU because of the PS4 is too "weak" to do VR. (I've even seen people guessing the box has a Polaris based GPU in it which is insane!) The PS4 is doing ALL of the graphics processing (including the now mandatory "reprojection") for the headset. There IS graphics processing being done on the box but it's ONLY to convert the VR-ready graphics to something suitable for the TV output, NOT the headset. The external box IS doing 3D AUDIO processing for the headset though. +Audioboxer 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted February 25, 2016 Author Subscriber² Share Posted February 25, 2016 Don't worry some people on Neowin will carry on saying its some sort of GPU or power box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Asmodai MVC Posted February 25, 2016 MVC Share Posted February 25, 2016 Ok, I got a chance to watch the video. If anyone doesn't want to plow through the whole thing but is interested in where he states what the break-out box does and doesn't do it starts at the 11:42 mark and just runs until about 13:08. So that part is just about a minute and a half if that's all you care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

President Devil Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) More expensive than the console itself and given Sony's peripheral support track record: DOA! For the price it doesn't even include the Move controllers or the PS Camera. Even if I still had my PS4, I'd rather buy OSVR at $299.

Pre-orders seem to be sold out for now. Sony claims it is selling each unit for a profit Quote "The same goes for the price point. It wasn't predicated on anyone else's prices. Obviously we need to make money on the unit, but we've been in the consumer electronics business for a long time, so our ability to source great, high quality parts is a big part of it." Then, apparently after being asked directly whether each PSVR unit sells at a profit, Boyes confirmed this was the case. "Every device we've sold since PlayStation 4 has been in the black," he added.

+Asmodai MVC Posted March 16, 2016 MVC Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm going to get this... it's about $100 more than I was hoping (about what I thought it would cost WITH the camera and a pack-in game) but considering Oculus and HTC both came in at about $200 more than I was expecting that's not too bad. I also already have the PS4 and camera and I don't have a PC up to the specs required for the Rift. October though is too late for me this year. By then I'll be thinking about the holidays so I'll likely ask for it for Christmas and then buy it early next year if I don't get it. By then they should be in stock and more games should be out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandalsquad Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Why isn't the camera supplied when it's specifically needed for it to work? I wouldn't think that many people at all have a PS camera to not include it. Is move required or only by some games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think that many people at all have a PS camera to not include it. Is move required or only by some games? Everyone I know with a PS4 has the camera already, not that that's scientific all. There were also shortages for a while in the early days as noted here: PS4 Camera Severely Supply Constrained Now that's from way back in May of 2014 but if the attach rate has stayed roughly the same at about 15% (which was when it was supply limited and Sony was asking for patience to get them on the shelves) then Sony is likely approaching 6 million installs now. So I guess it depends on what your threshold for "that many people" is, sure it's not 50% or anything but also keep in mind that 50% of the install base aren't likely to get the PS VR either. As for the Move. Yes, it's only required for certain games. Flight sim games live EVE: Valkyrie (my personal favorite) use the standard gamepad as do driving games like Gran Turismo Sport (or optionally a steering wheel). I suspect they left it off just to keep the price down as low as they could. It's not launching until October anyway so you might want to keep an eye out for Black Friday and other holiday bundles around that time too.
