Last night at GDC in San Francisco we finally got the price and launch window for Sony's virtual reality headset, the PlayStation VR. The unit was also made available for pre-order in European countries such as the UK, Germany, France and Italy via Amazon, but according to Dualshockers they were soon gone.
All four countries dried up within the first day, and only Amazon UK has gotten a second batch ready for pre-order. If you order from this second batch, however, you're not guaranteed to get it delivered on launch, and you can only order one unit per household.
"Due to limited stock we are only able to offer one unit per customer per address. We do not currently have a release date for this product. Based on our initial allocation we cannot guarantee release day delivery if you ordered after 11:45 GMT, Wednesday 16 March, 2016. You will be notified via email of the expected delivery date closer to the time. We will be fulfilling customer orders in the order in which they were placed. This product comes with a UK plug and therefore may not be suitable for use outside of the UK."
There is no mention of how many units have been pre-ordered, so for now we can only say that it looks like Sony is doing everything right with building the hype for PlayStation VR.
