If you missed the Sony PlayStation VR Midnight Launch in New York yesterday, hurry now! Secure your Sony PlayStation VR and order online and have it shipped the next day. Sony PlayStation VR is now available at Amazon.com for consumers worldwide.

The downside is, Amazon only allows one unit per customer per address. Amazon limits its orders to meet all customers' demands.

Same with Best Buy and GameStop, limited supplies of the Sony PlayStation VR will be available in addition to their previous preorder allocations for users.

Demands for the Sony PlayStation VR grew rapidly as it hits the market. And now consumer demands overshadow the supply. Clearly, Sony failed to predict the user's response on the new gadget.

"Virtual reality is a medium that's in its infancy. With such a nascent, very new form of storytelling, it's difficult to predict what user uptake is going to be." Andrew House, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, in an exclusive interview with CNBC.com.

The Sony PlayStation VR is on sale for $399USD, a notably lower price compared to other VR headsets. A much affordable VR headset to let more consumers get into the VR hype train.

PlayStation VR Launch Games were also released for fans to try out during the PlayStation VR Midnight Launch in New York.

Here are some of the PlayStation VR Launch Games you can check out.

Free Downloads of PlayStation VR Launch Apps and Movies are also available.
