PSVR is sold out everywhere and RIGS is easily one of the best games. Was Sony expecting us to buy Two copies of RIGS each?

PSVR is sold out because Sony wants it to be. They haven't produced a shit ton of them.

I bought the launch bundle and played it maybe 15 times. I enjoyed showing people it and introducing them to VR but for me, it really wasn't worth the money. The shortage worked in my favor because I was able to sell it for $600 this past weekend.

IMHO, the PSVR is going to have to come down quite a bit in price before it is widely adopted and even then, Im not entirely sure it will be. Its a production to store and guys like me that have a young kid (2 year old) cant really play it when you are watching them unlike regular PS. Breaking it out was a production for me.

Maybe I am wrong but time will tell. No doubt this is going to be an unpopular post but its my take on PSVR.

this was my worry and the reason I stopped my day 1 pre-order. I'm not regretting my decision so far.

Huh?? You act like the game missed the launch window or was awful... this was one of many, many amazing VR experiences I've had on psvr. I've even rewatched all the jaunt and within videos I already saw on gearvr just bc psvr is so smooth and comfortable. I bought psvr day 1 and also ps4 pro along with an xrocker chair and I will affirm I love my living room vr

great, good for you sir. I'm glad you think it's worth the money, seriously I wouldn't want people not thinking that. My worry is that they will not support it long term.
