      Not sure why that comparison is relevant. It's cheaper than competing VR units with worse specs, far more pertinent comparison.

          Much lower specs though, not just because the PS5 is acting as the rendering engine. PSVR2 has HD OLED screens with higher resolution along with haptic feedback and a wider field of vision.

              @Ham Dragon: And for many including me that's a feature. The wireless solution uses highly compressed visuals and reduces visual quality, until a near lossless solution exists, I'd prefer the cable to retain the visual quality.

            • Justin9mm on 16/11/2022 - 09:32

              @Ham Dragon: And that argument is a joke, Quest is like 2 hours play time and the VR experience is night and day. Sony is producing full fledged AAA games and much higher quality games. Quest 2 is an inferior experience in general. 1 cable is not a dealbreaker and anyone who thinks it is has never experienced a high end VR device. The PSVR2 display is now going to be the best on the market. You can't get the visual and graphical fidelity on a wireless device like Quest in comparison to PSVR2. The real issue is people just want Sony to wear the cost of the PSVR2 and have it cheap because they already bought a PS5. Everyone wants something for nothing.

              • MrFunSocks on 16/11/2022 - 11:16

                @Justin9mm:

                Sony is producing full fledged AAA games and much higher quality games.

                Which AAA games are Sony making for PSVR2? I haven't seen any. They didn't make any for the PSVR1.

                Quest is like 2 hours play time

                There are many battery pack Quest 2 straps and solutions, even as simple as sticking a portable battery pack to it. I've got the official Quest 2 Elite Strap with Battery that doubles the battery life to ~4 hours. That's more than enough for anyone.

                https://au.pcmag.com/vr/96652/meta-quest-2-elite-strap-with-ā€¦

                1 cable is not a dealbreaker and anyone who thinks it is has never experienced a high end VR device.

                I'd argue that anyone that thinks a cable is fine has never experienced wireless VR.

            You'd be hoping you would be getting something a little bit better for double the price.

            The biggest L though is that cable the psvr is using though. The quest working wirelessly with a PC is amazing.

              @RI4V4N: I would say that plus PSVR2 is still using fresnel lens. By this time next year most newer headsets will be moving over to pancake lens.

          • jt90 on 16/11/2022 - 20:25

            @cafeman: OLED screens is a big plus and will look great, but the headset is using fresnel lens which has a smaller sweet spot.

            I've tried pancake lens headsets and the sweet spot on them are huge. It is the main thing holding me back because most or if not all next gen VR headsets from the major VR headset companies will be using pancake lens as the standard.

                @McFodder: But he was making it come across that the Quest was a joke, about it being some mobile joke compared to a real VR headset, but the point is that the Quest can connect to a PC and play proper PCVR games, wirelessly or wired, plus playing great games mobile, while the PSVR only works via the PS5 wired.

                • Justin9mm on 16/11/2022 - 09:39

                  @Psygnosis: And in comparison to PSVR2, even the Quest 2 is inferior, the display is LCD 1832 x 1920. PSVR2 OLED 2000 x 2040 per eye. The most important thing about a VR experience is the graphics/resolution. No matter if you connect it to a PC, you won't get higher resolution then the display can output.

                    @Justin9mm: Couldn't agree more. I bought the PSVR1 and I loved the difference it made to gaming. But the low res (being able to see the pixels) meant it was a downgrade visually from my PS4 Pro. That and no AAA games. So mine sat collecting dust.

                    I note though, that I went from very very bad off-road driving to relatively great in grain turismo. And flying an X wing in Rogue Squadron was a real moment for me.

                    So if Sony can get the AAAs happening, I'll try it againā€”even if I have to go without smashed avo for a month.

                    • Justin9mm on 16/11/2022 - 12:08

                      @Chakko: Yes and people need to realise while expensive, it is very competitive compared to other higher end VR units, but the one thing Sony has is the capability to develop the best AAA VR experiences/games. This higher end unit will allow developers to do things that they just could not do with the original PSVR.

                  • jt90 on 16/11/2022 - 11:47

                    @Justin9mm: I would argue FOV is equally as important as resolution, and it is why pixel per degree is a better measurement for graphical fidelity compared to raw resolution numbers.

                    • Justin9mm on 16/11/2022 - 12:04

                      @jt90: Yes and PSVR2 is 110 FOV in comparison to Quest 2's 98.

                    -1

                    @Justin9mm: Such a minor difference. Not like the PS5 is as powerful as a real pc anyway, so probably can't actually output ultra level graphics at that resolution, it can't barely do 30fps at 4k in modern games.

                    Then there is the cable vs wireless. Or thinking the psvr tracking is going to be even half as good as meta's.

                      @RI4V4N: There's so many things wrong with your comments.
                      First of if you referring to my FOV comment, I only answered a question, never said it was a major difference, I didn't even care about FOV comparison until it was brought up.

                      Secondly, PS5 for its price can outperform any PC of similar value, majority of PC's in people's homes couldn't do more than 30fps in 4K either.. There are loads of games on PS5 near 4K resolution at 60+ fps. I'm playing Ragnarok right now on high frame rate mode with unlocked VRR, it's consistently hitting between 75-90fps at Native 1440p upscaled to 4K. MW2 on current gen consoles, PS5 & Series X runs 120fps in Native 1560p also upscaled to 4K. You can't get that with a $800 PC. You act like current gen consoles are trash. PC Master race much?

                      Thirdly we already know the PSVR2 is more powerful than Quest 2 with better tracking, the PSVR2 will be outputting 4K 90-120hz. Besides 'wireless' the Quest 2 is shit compared to the PSVR2 specs wise and Sony have the ability and track record to invest in some seriously good AAA VR games.

                        That's because it's a PS4 game being released on PS5 as well, the devs even said as much.

                        Not on VR they don't. Their track record is the exact opposite when it comes to "good AAA VR games". They haven't released a single one lol.

        Doesn't this require a PS5 and as such increase the cost closer to 1500? I don't know much about VR but surely there is some competition at that price?
        Of course if I already have a PS5 and want VR this would seem the better option and I'm guessing the same could be said about a gaming PC and the competing options?

                  @MrFunSocks: I had a PSVR one, what does the library have to do with the PSVR2 considering the PSVR2 is nothing like the original PSVR and Sony have said they are investing into bringing AAA games to PSVR2. Original PSVR was very limited. People will buy a superior high end VR experience which PSVR was not. The library of the PSVR1 does not determine the success of PSVR2.

                  • MrFunSocks on 17/11/2022 - 11:36

                    @Justin9mm: I'm sorry but if you can't see that how they treated PSVR1 is a pretty good indication for how they'll treat PSVR2 then I don't really know what to say. Sony said the same things for the PSVR1. Sony said the same thing for the PS Vita.

                    How superior or "high end" the PSVR2 is in comparison is irrelevant. The PS5 is much more superior and high end than the PS4 yet the PS4 got lots of AAA games, didn't it? They could have made AAA games for the PSVR1. They didn't.

                    The library of the PSVR1 does not determine the success of PSVR2.

                    Sure, but dismissing it as irrelevant is stupid. It's the only point of comparison we have, and they ignored it. The PSVR2 isn't going to sell enough units to justify AAA investment.

                      @MrFunSocks: It will be different this time around. How do I know? Lots of factors from their PR media, tech of the device, developer sources and because I've been gaming for over 35+ years and I'm pretty good at predicting these things from experience. PSVR1 was a very limited piece of test kit for them to see if they can compete in the VR space. They are seriously investing in this one and considering the specs of the headset and power of PS5, it will allow them to make some really good games. It will be much more successful because it can now compete with other higher end VR units and make it a potential preferable choice. PSVR1 design and performance was trash.

      "Holy crap, it's even more expensive than my keyboard!"

      VR tech isn't cheap, and this has eye tracking with foveated rendering (plus no doubt insane haptics) which only the Quest Pro has. Go check the price of the Quest Pro.

        Eye tracked foveated rendering isn't going to be the magic bullet that people think it's going to be. Most of the time you're looking straight ahead, not side-eyeing, while playing games. Not to mention that eye tracked foveated rendering adds pretty significant overhead and latency, which can negate a lot of the benefits to using it. It will be interesting to see how many developers use it and how it looks.

        The Quest 2 uses foveated rendering already btw (FFR), just not eye tracked (ETFR). The middle of the image is rendered in higher resolution than the edges/outside.

          And your credentials on this matter are?

          • MrFunSocks on 16/11/2022 - 11:05

            @ThithLord: I can read and I know what these things do. Not to mention I already explained it in that post. I'll explain again I guess?

            As I said, VR headsets already use foveated rendering so they're already only rendering a subset of the image at full resolution. Tracking your eyes just means that the subset of the image that is full resolution can move around the screen, it's not always in the middle. Tracking your eyes takes adds roughly 50ms of processing time according to devs using the tech that PSVR2 uses (Tobii). 50ms is a lot when you're having to render games at 120fps - a single frame at 120fps only has 8ms to render. 50ms is more than 6 frames worth of delay, and it requires processing power and extra work from developers to implement.

              @MrFunSocks: Lot's of people with hands-on experience with the unit seem to disagree with your take, but I appreciate the justification

              • MrFunSocks on 16/11/2022 - 16:18

                @ThithLord: Disagree with what exactly?

                    @ThithLord: How have they disagreed with that? What evidence do you have of it being the magic bullet? What has ETFR specifically done to make it better? What games are there that give you the option to turn it on and off, and show a marked improvement in graphics and/or performance with it on?

                      @MrFunSocks: Mate you're the one who made the claim, where's your proof? You haven't got your hands on the unit yet. And I mean I wasn't suggesting they exactly say it's a magic bullet - don't be silly

      So did the first generation of PSVR, but things have come a long way in the last five years.

    • Topdog on 16/11/2022 - 09:30

      It costs more

    Ordering the charging station through Amazon incase it price matches lower, will occur automatically + the Horizon bundle via Sony for this $100 off.

      It's not you….it's me……for some reason I can't quite comprehend what you are saying here. I really want to though. Must be the way I'm reading it in my head. What are you suggesting?

      • sween64 on 16/11/2022 - 09:55

        As for the charging station Amazon pre-orders are good because you only pay when it finally ships and the price you pay is the lowest Amazon had it up for during the pre-order phase.

        • seamonkey on 16/11/2022 - 10:29

          So only the charging station? I'm not up to date yet, has Amazon offered the VR set itself for pre sale?

          • sween64 on 16/11/2022 - 10:52

            @seamonkey: Iā€™m not sure. Search Amazon. I also doubt PSVR2 will be discounted prior to release.

    Dont they need to charge your Amex before 11/12/22?

    This isnt due until 23/2/23 so I assume your Amex won't get charged until then so you miss out on the $100 cashback!

      sony store charges instantly for pre-orders

      • alvian on 15/11/2022 - 17:02

        If you are referring to this AmEx Statement Credit offer, then it is a targeted offer contrary to your claim. If that isn't it, then can you please link to information about this untargeted AmEx offer.

        • FeZZa21 on 15/11/2022 - 17:16

          didn't think it was targeted, can we place the targeted price somewhere in the title still otherwise there's nothing special about the price?

          • Moderatoralvian on 15/11/2022 - 17:25

            @FeZZa21: The price in title should be the out-of-pocket cost. The AmEx Statement Credit is a form of cashback, and eligibility to this cashback is severely restricted compared to, for example, a manufacturer's cashback open to all purchasers. For this reason, we do not want it appearing in the title. You are welcome to expand on it in the description.

    as much as i hate meta/fb i think im going to just wait it out for the next quest, not that quest 2 is already very ample

    • FeZZa21 on 15/11/2022 - 16:59

        sorry i guess i should have spelt it out

        ps vr2 looks alright but as far as vr tech goes, I will just wait out for whatever is coming next to replace quest 2. cable free is literally a game changer.

        didnt neg ya btw.
