Cheaper than BigW and they'll have stock. Epping JB had plenty when I was there.

I am sitting on the fence too
Move over, make room.
I'm in same boat. Probably worth waiting for their E3 conference to see what the future looks like for it first!
I agree. Let's hope the stock holds up until then.
I had one but sold it. It was great, however:
a) Incredible mess of cables. Immersion breaker.
b) I have a 4k monitor that only does 4k via RGB, which the processing unit refused to pass through, dropping my monitor to 1080p with PS4P unless I connected PS4P directly to monitor and reconnecting it when I wanted to use VR. See a.
c) If you have a 4k TV supporting HDR and want to use HDR. You need to do the same as b. Also see a.
Good review. The reason I still haven't buy one is the number of cables required. If this is wireless, I will buy one.
I'd say yes.
Bought mine on launch and don't regret it. I rarely use it these days mainly because I cbf setting up its too much trouble setting up in my bedroom. Its great for the cheap VR games and RE7. If you want to watch on a cinema size screen its not too bad, but the resolution is not full HD 1080p.
It fundamentally transforms driving games (since the player can now look at the apex they're aiming for). It looks like a lot of fun in other games.
It also looks like the most well designed. Whatever replaces Vive/Occulus on PC will probably be designed like this (moves weight to back of head, no wet pancake on face)
From what I've been told from other sim racer enthusiasts the tech isn't there yet at least on PSVR. The resolution and frame rate stability isn't good enough.

Don't know if they improved from this.
Edit: I realise that the tone is very pessimistic like some stuff like turning around 360 to see your character's headless body is a bit on the nose given how arguably that's not what the player is designed to do but just a big on how vr gaming is still not very polished.
Support it so that it can become better
Sony apparently has sold more than a million of these units.
Does this need the PS4 Pro?
Need no, preferable yes
Wonder if it is worth getting without one. I am not quite ready to buy and upgrade the PS4.
dont they come with a box or some sort that boost the ps4?
frd on mine has the slim ps4 + VR
he's got that boost thingwonder if i need it for my ps4 pro
wot
You still need that yes.
@syl:
Might be helpful if you actually read the article, especially the part where it says
- It provides no extra GPU or CPU power.
- It's not any form of PS4 expansion or upgrade.
It comes with the PSVR, but only handles the PSVR itself. Makes no difference to power, it's just for displaying the image on a TV at the same time, basically.
I'm waiting on a surprise PSVR2 E3 announcement that doesn't come with the spaghetti cable solution.
Don't get it yet, this is the first generation. Heaps of improvement will come out in the next generation.
It is a mess of cables, I didn't realize, but works.
The headphones and cable placement doesn't seem ideal, will have to work on setup.
It works as intended, and I'm feeling a little ill after the street luge game. Waiting for various update patches.
Yes you can wait, but you can always wait for something better to come along.
gen 2 or gen 3 should be
- wireless, allowing freedom of movement
- able to map the room so you don't bump into walls
- full HD or 2k resolution for each eye (higher better, no limits here)
HTC Vive is a great concept on how the future of VR gaming should look like
For a HTC Vive setup you're looking at $2k+ in hardware.
this industry is still very new and there should be a group that governs a standard design, so that many third party manufacturers can follow that blueprint and allow mass production.
at the moment all the top companies are investing in their own concepts, imagine the nightmare for game designers to fit to a certain gaming platform.
Oculus, Sony and HTC/Valve should be merging into such a group.
Maybe.
Many people do not have spare room available to walk around in with a pancake on their face though it seems.
Whats it like to watch 3D blu ray movies on the PSVR?
The Gamesmen are selling the same bundle for $497 plus about $12 shipping - https://www.gamesmen.com.au/pack-ps4-playstation-vr-headset-…
I ordered mine last night for $529 only to see the price drop this morning. :/
Did any one who own these PSVR sets can advise if you can play Horizon Zero Dawn with it in full VR, making you feel you are inside the HZD world in full 3D ?
Playing non-vr games with the headset just displays a psuedo screen on the headset. Good if there's a lot of glare where you are located, or you don't want to interupt others in the room. Bad though as the resolution is severly limited.
HZD needs to be experienced at full hd, anything less won't do it justice
Ah so Horizon Zero Dawn is a non VR game. Thanks for clarifying.
Is it worth to get one?
