PSVR 2 PlayStation VR2 preorders currently appear to be open to everyone with a PlayStation account, no special invitation required. When preorders first opened last month, you had to register ahead of time and then be selected by Sony to be able to put an order in for the PSVR2. But as of this writing, you can preorder Sony’s next-generation VR headset from the PlayStation Direct website and get it within a week of its February launch.
I actually discovered this on accident Thursday night. I had registered for the preorder but, to my disappointment, never got an email. I figured it was a sign from the universe that I’d just have to get the headset at another time next year.
But while I happened to be browsing PlayStation Direct, I noticed I could put the headset in my cart, even though I hadn’t received any sort of notification from Sony. I submitted an order right away. Two of my colleagues who hadn’t registered for the preorder at all were able to put the headset in their PlayStation Direct carts Friday morning.
Phil Spencer: Xbox boss Phil Spencer has claimed that PlayStation’s move to block Microsoft's Activision Blizzard acquisition is rooted in its desire to “protect their dominance on console” by “making Xbox smaller”.
As reported by Eurogamer, Spencer told the Second Request podcast that Sony is just looking to retain its own dominance in the console market by opposing Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
"There’s really only been one major opposer to the deal and it's Sony, and Sony’s trying to protect their dominance on console, and the way they grow is by making Xbox smaller," Spencer said.
"They have a very different view of the industry than we do. They don’t ship their games day and date on PC, [and] they don’t put their games in the subscription when they launch their games." By using our affiliate links we may receive compensation for purchases through those links.
