Ground him.

Always makes me laugh when people take time out their day to click on a post and **** off an item they have never even purchased of used..smh

Anyway having had this since launch day i can confirm its an excellent device and i have no regrets, the games so far are fantastic although i can only take VR in small doeses so around 45mins to an hour per session, the games i have are Superstardust which is possibly my fave of all and was only £15, RIGS , Drive VR and Valkyrie, If you dont have the playstation move controllers i wouldn't let that put you off, i got mine for launch days and i'm yet to even open the box i've been more than happy just using the controller, The VR Worlds game is really fun and really immersive. Having used the Oculas rift too i can also confirm the PSVR headset is 10 times more comfortable to wear too, i can wait to start waching 3D films using the headset its going to be alot of fun, anyway that my 2pennies worth of info, i hope it helps, any question feel free to ask i'll do my best to answer

Something tells me you haven't tried the PS VR..

​none of the games look amazing until you put the headset on and then it's a whole different world.
Games I've watched on you tube and thought naah have completely blown me away when ive seen them in VR....

Argos had stock 30th December so finally got a pair :smiley:

No way, Amazon are tools :disappointed:

Take that back....

Been let down

Mine has been despatched

Looks like 2017 now

No! :disappointed: either the fella on live chat made a mistake or there were 160 orders before me.

That would be great, have you had yours?

Just had a chat to Amazon and they confirmed they are receiving 160 units on 08/11/16 so will receive in time for Christmas :smiley:

His loss.. Maybe you should seize the opportunity! Think of the money you would save :wink:

The Oculus has slightly higher res, but the PSVR has more sub pixels

I have a Rift at work and PSVR at home, not used Oculus for gaming so hard to judge but for me the quality seems better on the PSVR as well as the fit and comfort however technically the Oculus is meant to be better

What's everyone's delivery date on this? December seems like a placeholder date given how everywhere is slowly getting stock on a regular basis.

still undecided on what headset to buy, I have a ps4 with the camera so all I need is the controllers but also have a gtx 1060. vive is too expensive and I'd prefer a stationary vr headset so it's between the psvr and oculus . Anyone happen to have both?

Shopto always seem to get stock, although that's at full price. They currently have stock of the headset and camera bundle at just over £389 if any one was desperate for one

The VIve truly is amazing but I'm personally not investing until the resolution is better. (And its really hard waiting).

My kids and I tried VR on HTC Vive here recently....http://vr-here.co.uk/

They (and me) were blown away by it!

The possibilities are endless, personally think it's the future :smiley:

Gambled on Amazon ones getting here on time, but thanks Coco

yeah but in my opinion 3d tv was pretty poor. my samsung had glasses that created flicker just to produce a weak 3d effect.

However pop the kitchen demo on PSVR and you're right there tied to that chair. It's terrifying in a way a 3d tv could never do. I honestly think VR is the beginning of a new and different way to experience games . it works better for certain genres at the moment but done right there's nothing that comes close to the feeling VR creates and i've been gaming since the days of the commodore vic 20.

I got the ones marked as 'Value' (https://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=SPS3MOVEVAL003#.WBMnWs29_Aw) - I think I got the last 2 online. Might be worth checking in-store for these so-called "value" ones which are the same thing anyway. Mine were clean and fully functional; one strap missing and no cables or charging dock, but it's just standard USB.

​so your saying if you didn't have to connect it to a console in would have more chance of being a success....wouldn't that just make it more expensive if it couldn't untilize something that was already in our homes?

Seen the £40 each price at CEX. Might have to gamble on Amazon!! Thanks

You got a great bargain there, online they are showing £40 each https://uk.m.webuy.com/product-detail/gaming/playstation4-accessories/playstation-move-motion-controller/sp3mcon001


I don't think they are crucial but enhance the experience, I know am also hoping they arrive before Christmas, fingers crossed!

Thanks. How crucial are they (immediately)? I was thinking Amazon pre order Angela, but will it be pre-Xmas? I will check CEX Coco, thanks

He does but that's a poor example. Kinect added nothing to gaming in the long term.

However, he's also missing the point about PSVR. It's not a peripheral. VR is a new platform. You can't treat it in the same way. Once you've tried it you'll understand the potential.

If you use the logic that "New fangled tech = it must fail" then we'd never have had flat screen TVs, portable phones etc. Kinect just added onto existing experiences and didn't fundamentally change them. 3DTV just added onto existing experiences and didn't fundamentally change them. Motion Control just added onto existing experiences and didn't fundamentally change them. A feeling of immersion though, using elements of all these things, is very different.

It's absolutely certain that PSVR, Vive and Rift won't be the final form of VR. It's got a long way to go. But once you've tried PSVR (I own one and four or five games) you'll understand that it's most definitely the start.

I bought 2 from CEX the other day for £7 each. Worth checking if you have one near...

I have preordered from Amazon but still not been given a delivery date yet... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LVWSNN4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ukshoptilludr-21&linkCode=as2&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B01LVWSNN4

Anyone know where the move controllers are available?

okish

In all honesty I got PSVR day 1. I love it all my friends that have tried it love it, including my non-tech savvy friends and wife who doesn't understand games at all and she loves it even though, she won't even wear headphones.
My recommendation is to wait til after Xmas (if your not after Xmas present) when the price has dropped and bundled in with an extra game, sure Playroom VR is the best fun I've played since Playroom with just the camera. I think VR World's should come free with it as it's only really tech demos.
I really do see a bright future in VR not just PSVR it's really fun and super immersive, though it needs a lot of software support to be considered a success. I really hope it happens.

How about three?

Cheers for the heads up..

I'm sure he means the original kinect for the 360 which sold something like 20 million units

​the film studios/ tv companies and cinemas got behind 3d . that's mostly failed in all areas. especially tv

lol . that was bundled with the console at launch. you were forced into having it

For anyone in Manchester who hasn't tried this yet Playstation have a event on today and over the weekend at the old granada studios. You can register on their try vr site and book a demo time :smiley:

So true - It's amazing how many people want things to fail in this world, it's quite sad really.

Everyone i know who has tried one including myself is absolutely blown away by this. It's not going to replace the TV but with companies like sony,microsoft and facebook behind it i can't see it being the failure some people would like it to be.

Kinect had massive sales

Link?

​to be fair GAME stated it has to in order to pay for an extra employee to man the demo. We all know how busy all the staff at game are at all times, never having to time for standing around gossiping and looking bored. Still at least working at GAME is good pay for unskilled labour @ £30 a hour.

I have one but i dont want it now lol

name me 1 successful peripheral for ANY console ever made that isn't a controller. This will fail big style

:laughing: I think he would disown me! :laughing:

Get him this and tell him your sure it'll do the same thing..

​superscope for snes

Every heard of the 'like' system, saves these sort of pointless posts :smiley:

Anyway, this is already a bargain when compared with other VR units, it won't be dropping in price much i doubt! may even go up if the pound value drops any more!

Game are charging £5 to have a 5 minute go on this in store!

This.

ripoff for a gaming accessorie

These aren't even difficult to find.

Excellent as long as its BEFORE Christmas :wink:

so cheap.

Ive had a Oculus Rift DK2 sitting dorment for nearly 12 months

​£5 to give it a go? Wow, that's taking the ****.

I was able to walk into a game store in Belfast on Sunday and pick up one no problem although I also had to buy the camera as well. Have to say it has its limits but I really would recommend this to anyone thinking about buying it. Absolutely fantastic!

My Tesco pre order dates state:

You can expect delivery between Tuesday, 29 November 2016 and Saturday, 3 December 2016

Ha! Amazon immediately put the price back up. Sorry folks, that might have been my fault. Was trying to get us all £17 back.

Don't bother asking Amazon for the price difference. They just told me to send my one back for a refund and buy it again at the lower price!!!

Good for those purchasing as a Christmas present as it is cheaper than anywhere else, no good if it's a present for yourself.

GAME website have them on for pre order due for arrival early November.. I pre ordered today.. its 349.99 but hopefully not a long wait..

​jeez I was only saying... 2month delivery wait is a long time..

Can we get money back from Amazon seeing as they've dropped the price less than two weeks after release? What's the deadline for price guarantees?

​none of the games look amazing until you put the headset on and then it's a whole different world.
Games I've watched on you tube and thought naah have completely blown me away when ive seen them in VR....

Yeah been following the development ever since it was announced, not quite got enough games I am interested in yet but it's one of them things I feel like if everyone had the same opinion and didn't give it a chance no one will ever develop for it. Could just do with trying it first!

Ground him.

Still can't decide if to pull the trigger yet or just keep waiting, had it pre ordered for release and then cancelled last minute.

Amazon have also matched the price for pre order

Not due to deliver until the 19/12/2016.... That is not in stock.

Wow. Really sold out then huh.
