PlayStation VR will need the PS4 camera to work
That means you could really be looking at a price point of around $460 if you don't already own the PlayStation 4 camera.
Sony has announced the pricing and availability for its PlayStation VR, although it left out one important caveat: you’re going to need to purchase a $60 PlayStation 4 camera in order for it to function.
The reason why Sony decided to omit this piece of info is because the company considers many of its customers to already own the accessory. Because of that, Sony isn’t bundling the camera with its PlayStation VR headset.
The PlayStation 4 camera has been available since the launch of the console, but if you plan on enjoying your PlayStation VR experience in any way, you’re going to need to own one of them. The reason for this is due to the fact the camera provides positional tracking for the headset. If you don’t own one, then you’ll be missing a vital piece of the VR puzzle.

That's a rather large omission. Hopefully they'll state this in the marketing. Going to be some bad PR if the majority of gamers get VR unit home and THEN find that they need the camera. I don't think I know anyone that owns the camera.
I guess MS isn't going to pursue VR with the xbox. Funny since they have a really good camera in the Kinect. Too bad Apple owns that patent now. -
