@WARDIE I'm not sure I would consider Gamestop to be one of the cheaper retailers. They are about the same as the big box stores. I do a lot of business with them, but you have to jump through some major hoops to get a deal, even if you are a PowerUp Pro member. And yes, I fully acknowledged that the price I gave was for a used controller, but they let me choose from a whole pile of the things, so it's not like I bought it sight unseen and got a shot out peripheral. It can take a little extra effort to get your money's worth while buying used, but it is completely worth it.
@BLPs I agree that Sony has fallen on some hard times recently on the PR front. They somehow manage to keep selling consoles at a neck-breaking pace, though. Hopefully they get it together, because I don't see myself switching over to Microsoft any time in the near future.
@freaksloan Uh, no, didn't say that at all. What I AM saying is that a lot of people will have some of the things needed before this even releases, and it is possible to get these things on the cheap if you know where to look. Also, unless you are buying from the black market, what kind of risk are you really taking buying used? Probably none. I can't think of a single reputable company that doesn't have a return policy, especially on used products. Nice strawman, though.
@BLPs That is somewhat of a ripoff, for sure. Not sure why people in the UK are having to pay more for the same thing...must have something to do with import taxes?
You can pretty much guarantee that Sony has thought of how they are going to make Morpheus work on the PS4. Otherwise, I doubt they would be developing it at all. I can't imagine them releasing the hardware and then being like,"Whoops! Forgot to implement the second screen!" Although that would be pretty funny.
@BLPs Ok, that is one retailer. Shop around. No one should ever go with the first price they see, especially if they have access to the internet. Like I said, I bought a controller from Gamestop (NA version of GAME) for $49.99 used and it looked like it was fresh out of the box. So it is possible to get it for less, I assure you.
@BLPs First of all, I recently picked up a used DS4 at a retailer for 50 DOLLARS used, so your theory of them being 50 pounds obviously isn't very accurate. Also, I purchased both parts of the Move controller for $22 used. Both were in excellent condition. I got a camera on eBay for $42. And I bought my PS4 at launch for $399. How can you even seriously argue that a Morpheus bundle would cost a minimum of £800? That is just plain silly.
