It's very buggy. You lose HDR, Eye tracking, and the adaptive triggers.
Does that stuff matter though? HDR is whatever, it's not like im gonna be playing insane graphical games anyway, eye tracking might be worth? And adaptive triggers I don't even like on the PS5 tbh.
Way to nerf the key features of this VR.
I might buy this soon, especially now that it’s at such a cheap price, and use it with something like iVRy’s PSVR2 driver, which should be able to restore HDR, eye tracking and adaptive triggers.
I would advise caution.
It works well with me. The catch is to upgrade to BT5 on your PC and extend it closer to the hand controllers and it'll work fine. Ensure you have a decent late GPU
I reckon it'll get cheaper than this, wait until you get a PS5 one day.
I've got a PS5 as well, just wanna use it on PC too :)
I've heard that it's a solid experience on the PC when using the adapter. They've also recently found a way to get adaptive triggers to work. There's a bunch of videos on YouTube about it's been quite good. I'm going to check out EBgames tomorrow as I've been looking for a PSVR2 deal for a while, this is a huge $300 discount compared to BigW/JBHifi etc.
Finally a good discount, they probably put the offer up before it has gone live
Anyone know if JB Hi-Fi will price match EB Games?
Guessing these are no good for people who get motion sickness from fast first person games
id suggest it's far worse for some people but for most it's just so different the first few time. VR does take some time to get comfortable with. Just stop when it affects you and try again another day. After a few sessions you adjust and can really enjoy the incredibly immersive experience
VR will be a lot worst for motion sickness.
I play a lot of FPS games and have no issues on console/pc, but my eyes strain really bad on VR with or without glasses even after adjustments.
Motion having a slight delay really throws me off and a lot of movement in VR being teleporting makes me really sick. I've played VR in VR game places and friends and it seems like a very me issue with it. I tend to be the only one that needs to sit down a lot and takes heaps of breaks.
I get motion sickness easily with first person games. Reluctantly I went to a VR shop with my kids yesterday and after talking to the guy he recommended a couple of games that were motion sickness friendly.
The first one was Job Simulator, at first I was telling myself I was getting sick, but I didn't, I kept playing the same game for 1 hour with NO motion sickness at all.
Then I took a 15 minutes break and the guy recommended a game he thought it was motion sickness friendly too, the game is called Propagation, again after 1 hour playing I got no motion sickness.
The common between those 2 games is that you don't walk around, you just stand there and everything you interact is around you. I wouldn't even there to try things like you have to walk or roller coaster, I get sick with just the thought of it,
BTW - OMG Propagation is a MUST if you play VR.
I guess the motion sickness depends on the game and your tolerance, but it was fine for me and I sick pretty easy.
Now I am seriously considering buying a VR headset just for the Propagation game, but I wouldn't go to the PS VR2, I would go with the Quest 3 or the Vive Pro 2 (this is the one we used yesterday), but the later is way too expensive.
If you go to the Meta Store you can see the games and their Comfort Level, you want to go with the Comfortable or Moderate games. The guy from the shop took the time to explain this so that I was comfortable before putting the headset on. Kids love these VR games too much 🤣
This or a Meta Quest 2 for PC?
I sold my PSVR2 for the Quest 3. No regrets.
Fingers crossed Amazon gives us a deal on the Q3 because of this.
Quest 3 would be my go to.
And wondering what games I can trade in. Can I get two cheapest games to get from second hand EB Games and than trade-in for the discounts?
Yeah would love to know this too. I think somebody put a link to a list of PS5, XBX and Switch games that are eligible for trade-in but I can't seem to find it
Generally it needs to be priced $38 or higher preowned on there site
Are there actually any VR games worth playing for the PSVR2?
Gran Turismo 7 is incredible
Gran Turismo 7
Synapse, No Man's Sky, Horizon, plus a ton of other non exclusive titles if you don't already have a VR headset.
No man's sky VR isn't a ps5 exclusive?
You can get the PC adapter to play PC VR games now so this argument is pointless.
On PS5 there are heaps and some of the best like GT7, Horizon, RE4, RE8why get PSVR if you're just gonna end up using it on your pc?
Not many people would.just buy it for PC VR
If you already have a PS5 it's a good option.
Otherwise it's only good on PC VR because of the lossless display port connection which is arguably better for those with high end PCs
Apart from Horizon is there anything else worth playing on these??
Gran Turismo 7
Worth it for Gt7 low cost immediate racing sim experience, and resident evil games in VR but mostly for GT7 is such an experience.
Awsome deal…But hard to justify for myself to purchase as I already have quest 3 and its so damn convient to use it with wifi…….Anyone can convince me to drop 500 on this??
Do it
Do it
Give me the PS5 disk console for this price, I need one for the new monke game.
$879. When does the deal start?
I wouldn’t buy a Sony vr ever again, I had issues with my gen 1 psvr a week after warranty ran out, then after two trade and swaps at eb the last brand new one just didn’t work after a month and even EB wouldn’t trade it at that point. Worst product ever.
Awesome. Been wondering why everywhere but Australia has this cheaper.
What’s their return policy?
I'm super tempted as this is an awesome price. But I still feel like this is expensive for a VR headset that will likely be outdated with ps6.
I already got burnt that the PS4 headset didn't play any ps5 games etc. and some games weren't able to be downloaded and played on ps5 so it further restricted my library
Damn that's really tempting… how is support on PC for it? using the adapter?
