GETTY PlayStation VR is due to hit UK shelves later this year but Sony is keeping quiet about the price

PlayStation VR is due to hit UK shelves later this year – but Sony have continued to stay tight-lipped about a launch date or price. But an Amazon post might have just revealed all the details on these new gaming goggles. Details briefly appeared on the Canadian version of the US retail website – listing the price at hefty $1,125.35 (some £550 converted).

Amazon has since stripped the price from the item listening, which now reads: Currently Unavailable. Sony is keeping schtum about the final price, so it's unclear whether the £550 price tag is a leak, or a blunder by someone at Amazon. Priced at over £500, this means the PlayStation VR headset, which allows gamers to experience immersive 360 degree versions of their favourite PS4 games, is considerably more than rival Oculus Rift.
