I demoed it a couple of weeks ago and went from "Meh" to pre-order in the space of about 5 minutes.

I bought mine last week, IMO it's fantastic fun. I'd previously used the Vive quite a lot and this is very close to that. What it lacks in room scale it makes up with better games (well nearly)

As others have said it is one of those things you have to try. Watching youtube clips of it doesn't give you the presence you get from playing a game in VR. We've had loads of people round from 18 to 82 and they've all been amazed by it.

The best games so far IMO have been Rush of Blood (very scary), Batman (short but amazing), Rigs (frantic action) and Waywood Sky (nice adventure), but a number of the demos you get with it are extremely good as well.

It's not for everyone, it makes some people feel sick (no one we've tried it on has complained), but it's worth trying out. It's daft for anyone to dismiss it if they've not had a proper go on it - it's like trying to criticise a film you've not seen. Have a go and make your own mind up. I think it's pretty amazing.

Credit isn't really the answer if you can't afford something!

But if you are going to use it, I can't think of a much better use. Put me in the very positive camp on this, almost worth it just for the incredible sense of wonder I saw in my kids faces as they tried it (at least the bit of the face you can see!). Worth every penny for that and to be honest the price of taking kids anywhere these days, it's only really a few days trips in cost.

The big danger is that you do find you want to try a lot of the other content and so I've bought a fair amount off the Sony store since having it. There are plenty of demos and free bits (download the demo disk, don't use the supplied one) but they do tend to be very short and you want more...

not sure why so many haters here, I wasn't someone who was looking at getting into VR but my wife ordered me one the last time this deal was on, and I've got to say it's a pretty cool experience. Graphics aren't that great but you soon forget once you're immersed. first time I played, felt really sick after a few demos, mainly after RIGS but since then I've played all kinds of games and I've been fine so think just needs warming into. People spend a lot more on stuff that they don't need, I think for the price it at least delivers something bit different in gaming and there's a wide variety of styles that can be explored im VR. not really bought any games yet apart from tumble VR and rush of blood. looking forward to robinson, farpoint and resident evil 7. for people on the fence, if you have the spare money it's worth giving it a go, can always sell on if not for you.

what game(s) should I buy?

just had that email as well

Have just had an email saying that mine should be arriving tomorrow. I ordered mine on the 2nd of November when it was out of stock. Just need some move controllers now.

Delivery was due 12/12 I think.

I've had both my orders delivered from Amazon and GAME (both dispatched on the same day) - Amazon was ordered on 14th October and GAME was ordered on 19th November - both received last weekend, so retailers must have got a wave of stock, hopefully Tesco would have been the same. Looks like everything is out of stock now until the end of the year. Good luck!

Has anybody received their tesco order yet?

lol

with the ps4 pro this is going to cost £664.98 and then you need to buy the camera for another £30 on top and then the motion controllers another £80 and then the games on top £20-30 this just isn't worth it to me , and the psn charge £40 a year sony really is taking the p'iss

Thank you very much, i really appreciate the detailed reply

Blur is very much in the hands of the developer and possible to avoid but it depends on how much of a sacrifice they have to make to get to the approved frame rates necessary for the game to 'work' in VR. Hence the games with the more stylised graphics tending to look better as they require less processing power.

Hopefully as dev gain experience and enhanced versions for the Pro will allow things to get more detailed without blur.

Btw - there's a free ten minute demo of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare VR on the PSN Store....

Feedback is it's good with no blur..... promising for future games :-)

Totally agree - to take kids/family out for the day costs a bomb.

My kids too were totally amazed and in awe when they tried it out - so agree almost worth the cost alone!!

In that respect VR is worth the cost plus you have it forever.

A fad? To be fair it's a case of each to their own.

I've said it's too expensive for me given low graphics....... yet I'm still in awe from when I tried it for an hour....

Kids loved it and want it for Christmas. ..... I'm still very tempted. ....... the immersion is truly amazing. ...

Ok thanks may as well pre order at this price

None at the moment afaik.

Any other discount code we can get for this?

Like the Wii?

It is a big outlay but still an incomparable cost to say a Rift & PC setup. The cost of the two is not a million miles away from the Rift headset alone! I guess we'll all find out soon enough just how much the new console will improve things.

Don't just buy it be sure to demo it before you splash out, the terrible resolution destroyed the experience for me personally, perhaps PS4 Pro will help but that's a big outlay tbh.

The PS is too weak for good VR. This will be nothing more than a gimmick that will end up at the back of a drawer before Christmas.

Credit isn't really the answer if you can't afford something!

Right guys if you can't afford to shell out £300+ for the VR shopto do finance on it with monthly payments if it helps anyone and they have stock

Close enough!

I bought mine last week, IMO it's fantastic fun. I'd previously used the Vive quite a lot and this is very close to that. What it lacks in room scale it makes up with better games (well nearly)

I have played the Vive on a £2000 pc. It was amazing! It convinced me VR is the way forward.
but the price point is too high at the moment for it to become mainstream. I do wonder how close these cheaper versions are to the experience I had.

Lol at some of these comments. Fanboys will be fanboys.

Might buy one of these at some point, sounds cool and I've heard good impressions.

not sure why so many haters here, I wasn't someone who was looking at getting into VR but my wife ordered me one the last time this deal was on, and I've got to say it's a pretty cool experience.

Not stock available for over a month because demand is far outstripping supply..

Yeah, has fad written all over it....

Dropping in price already, you'll be to pick one up for £20 soon at this rate.

Poorly executed fad

I'd suggest contact lenses would be the ultimate design achievement.

They have these in stock in Eclipse home entertainment in Cleveleys near Blackpool !!

Personally I think it's better at racing games than I thought it would be, as I mentioned before the immersion so that strong that I tense up and cringe whenever I lose control of the car. You can also place the car on apexes way way better than you can on a single monitor game and it feels a lot more realistic than a multi screen set up.

Is that really necessary? I don't have an iPhone 7 but I'm fairly confident that they are an example of overpriced garbage.

You've got one then yeah?...

I did yes before promptly sharing it with the nearest toilet bowl. Not sure whether the toilet bowl enjoyed it or not.

I played it on the national tests and it's an amazing piece of kit, however im going to wait until there's a bit more of a game selection to go with it and the price drops under £300

But, at least you tried it, right? :wink:

^ THIS

If £300 is an any way a large seeming sum of money for you DO NO BUY THIS. Leave it to those with a lot of disposable income.

This is a beta test, its not great and very limited to the other headsets. Its glitchy and nowhere near as accurate as the other headsets and even they are still beta tech. Its not roomscale and VR without roomscale is kind of rubbish after the initial "wow" moment (its not as good at things like racing games as you would think). PS4 also isnt good enough to push VR forward. The immersion is there, the future of the tech will be awesome but wait for the PS5 version.

I'm sorry, there's laughing in my head.

That company knows less about innovation than your average Big Brother contestant knows about ancient architecture and Renaissance art.

Someone once told me that about cheese shortly before I tried it and then vomited.

And I can understand why.

It is brilliant.

Just want people to be aware graphics are NOT as good as youtube clips and promotional videos etc.

That said - it still is brilliant. Just expensive but not in comParis on to the competition.

Sadly they do take money straight away

And to chime in with all the naysayers Vs VR advocates: I wasn't sure after reading up and watching online videos, but once I tried it at my mates house I was sold 100% ;-)

Doesn't Tesco take the money straight away on pre-orders?

Really debating getting VR as a Xmas present to myself, but can't afford it right now :-(

It won't be heavy forever... Remember 30 years ago the size and weight of an atari and what it could do, vs the graphical ability of the latest ultra-thin smartphone. I imagine VR will be lightweight and powered by our phones or phone-sized devices soon, and eventually built into something as big as sunglasses.

It's hard to say. Everyone is different.

For me, I played for an hour - never had any sickness at all.

A few times I felt I'd fall over (Batman - decending down to the caves on an open elevator and Farpoint whilst on a cliff ledge) but both times I was standing. ... and simply repositioning my standing position resolved it.

No sickness whilst playing Driveclub - that was an amazing experience and I really felt like I was in the car with seemless all round view wherever I turned my head.... was seated with a wheel whilst playing.

Only issue was poor graphics but you do soon forget that as you're so immersed in the game /experience.

Now.

Others have complained of sickness. some have said they tried little goes at a time and built up and soon overcame the motion sickness - so maybe that's the way forward.

So in terms of yourself. .... I guess you can only but try it yourself. Little goes at a time.

Maybe buy from John Lewis who will give you a full refund if you're not happy with it. (ALL retailers should give you a full refund within 30 days if you're not happy but I've read some (GAME) have tried to refuse a refund.

Take the plunge abd try it out. Just don't expect brilliant graphics - and you'll be fine.....

Good luck :-)

All I can say is, until you've ACTUALLY tried it, don't knock it.

By the time devs have got their head around the tech and can build full gaming experiences around it, the price will be much more sensible. As much as the child in me wants this now, I can wait a year or so easily, and grab a PS4PRO instead :smiley:

Any thoughts if this will cause issues with anyone who suffers with VG sickness? I keep hoping I'd be able to use one.

this thing is so over priced given how bad the tracking is, headset should be £200 max or £250 with the camera and two moves.

plus you need the ps4 pro to make the games remotely visually acceptable not to mention how limited the scope is for gaming, basically anything with fixed position/cockpit is great, everything else is useless to the movement issue (teleporting is ****, moving with stick makes people upchuck)

Ahhhhh, that's how you've come to your expert conclusion!

I rest my case...

Im not surprised, i walked past my local CEX and when i seen how much they were buying them for i boxed mine up and took it down asap.

You dont need to own the headset to look at the games on Youtube and decide how bad the graphics are.
Look at Driveclub VR, its an eye sore compared to the non vr version

^^^Another expert posting...
VR is NOTHING like 3D and until you've experienced it you haven't a clue, it won't be a fad simply because it isn't a gimmick - it completely changes how games can be played!

iPod wasn't the 1st, River and Creative Labs had portable MP3 players out long before Apple did and as for quality? Wow you really are gullible aren't you....

The piles will only get bigger as it's obviously going to be a passing fad for PlayStation owners just like the 3D games. It will be interesting to see when and how much the price cuts are going to be next year.

Pity they didn't make them useful for FPV flying. The new DJI 1080 headset looks worth purchasing.

haha, I was the same! Think its amazing!! but they aren't really pushing it very well?? Can't wait for Robinson which launched on the 8th or 9th of Nov ;o)

Hi,

I didn't mean to put a downer on things.

PS VR is a great thing at a great price. It's expensive yes but much, much cheaper than competitors.

My gripe is what could be construed as false advertising; what you actually see is nowhere near as good as promotional clips.

But that said, the VR experience is amazing!!

The VR unit is very comfortable and whilst Driveclub was blurry, it was an amazing, thrilling experience that I totally loved.

Farpoint too was amazing. BUT that's not out till next year.

I'm personally disappointed with the poor graphics hence why I'm not willing to spend so much. .... but I'm still very tempted.

Without doubt, once you're playing and immersed you won't notice the graphics.

As some have mentioned. ... make sure you adjust it correctly for you eye measurements before you play.

Have fun this Christmas - your son will love it :-) :-)

i really want one its just i don't have the camera or the move controllers which means i will end up spending £450 to get it all :disappointed:
wish the bundle was in more availability as its obviously cheaper but typical sony only making a few and then re sellers selling them for stupid money

TempteD!!!!

Yeah it was more wishful thinking on my behalf hoping they would be back in stock a lot sooner, having sold mine to CEX - im now patiently waiting for tesco to get stock back in so i can get another

No, happy to wait for a quality (if not expensive) device.
Look at history
iPod -first proper MP3 player that could hold 100's of songs (remember having one that held around 4 lol)
Touchscreen phones before Apple-naff
iPad -THE tablet to use that everyone else followed.
If they jump into VR them it will be a decent experience from the off, guaranteed.

I own the psvr and i owned a htc vive. I think the psvr is better at hiding the sde and is easier too adjust to find the sweet spot. I sold my Vive in the end as the psvr was as good for alot less money. What sells these things are games and since owning the vive since may they were all experiences and demos. I think with sony there will be better games.

Funniest thing I've seen all day. Don't you mean "Happy to wait until Apple make a VR headset that eveyone else made at least 12 months before"?

Yes, definately agree any screen up close looks pixely and grainy, but what I was trying to say is that there's a noticeable difference between the darker and lighter images. Certainly with darker backgrounds, the images looked like they were projected through a mesh rather than on a screen. The coloured stuff faired much better. The screendoor similie is a good one, I'll pinch that!

There isn't going to be a killer Pro game, it only enhances normal PS4 games.

Happy to wait until Apple make a proper vr headset that everyone else will have to follow.

Happy to wait, not like there is a killer game for either device yet

Not a chance, you'll enjoy lucky to get either of them before Xmas nevermind find a decent bundle deal.

Having a headset that sits on your head is less comfortable than something strapped to your face?
C'mon now, get real!

Every single comparison review I've read or watched rates PSVR way above Rift and Vive for comfort and length of usablilly and have used many different Google Cardboard set ups and Samsung VR I know having something at on your head is way more comfortable than it being strapped to your face. I can do 5-6 hours on PSVR without issue compared to an hour max with Samsung VR!

It's not perfect, the control system is clearly designed to minimise motion sickness nd can feel clunky at times but for psychologically screwing with you it is right up there.

Creeps the hell out of you....

THink I will wait to see if there are any PS4 Pro & VR bundle deals

Vive is 3 times the price all in, get real....

so you're saying something that costs over £2000 total investment (vive) is better than a system that can be had for under £600 (PSVR)

i should hope the VIVE is better given the price difference , however most reviewers say the difference isn't as pronounced as the price difference suggests. In other words for the money right now , PSVR is the best and most affordable VR option for the average consumer.

to you and anyone else looking into vr, there are currenty 3 major vr headsets(psvr, oculus rift, htc vive), the psvr is by far the cheapest and weakest of the 3, i tried all of them before buying my rift, the psvr physically feels alot cheaper(my impression was that with alot of use it might break), has the worst graphics(possibly limited by the ps4), has the least compatibility(again due to the ps4) and is aso the most uncomfortable to wear(it feels like wearing a lump of plastic attached to a rubber bag)

now i know that the price is extremely high(£1000ish for a pc, £760 for a vive, £700 for a rift=£1700ish vs £700ish for psvr+ps4) but trust me, its definitely worth it, you have access to a lot more games, it graphically looks and physically feels much much better(you get a nice foam facepate which sits comfortaby on your face), the tracking onpsvr is good, but much better with the vive/ rift, it wont break easily, you can pay old games in vr with third party software like vorpx(ify might make you sick) and you wil be able to use other accessories like the omni treadmil from virtuix + more.

I recently bought a gaming sound chair and a wheel, combining these with the rift and project cars it really feels like im driving a supercar, its amazing

p.s. the blackbars you see in vr isnt the lack of resolution(although higher res would help increase text readability and the overall look of the games), its the screen door effect, this was hugely improved on during the development stage of vr and is now at a point where its usable and enjoyable but still noticeable (i could not use the prototypes of the rift due to the SDE being very obvious - a thick bold black gird compared to the now thin grey hexagonal shape), fixing this completely is a long way off though so dont expect it anytime soon.

look closely at this video for an example of the sde; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS-Ii-4NHEk

The thing sucks, the tracking is bad, Vive is so much better.

PS VR has changed the way I enjoy games. Revolutionary for me! HEAT.

Is here they lie that good? I have been holding off buying it as some reviews say it is good and others say it is awful and I can't decide who to side with.

It will go the same way as the Move, and they'll stop supporting it in a years time.

^^^ Hmmmmm another expert. When did you get yours?

Yes I think horror & driving are the kind of games that will work well with VR. I played the RE7 demo, well if you call two minutes of doing nothing a demo.

cold graphics are pants on all the games

Here They Lie suggests to me it really isn't! Horror movies don't bother me but this really freaks me out.....

All VR headsets are 'grainy', any display screen if you magnify it and look up close, laser displays could be a solution but that technology is VERY expensive and still in its early days, PSVR deals with it better than Samsung VR, Rift and Vive do by the way the screen is made, the others have a clear screen door effect that any LCD or DLP projector owner will only be fully aware of.

That said it's only noticeable when your brain isn't occupied, once the action kicks in you don't even notice it.

Wow this is an awesome deal! Been playing with mine pretty much everyday since launch and still love it as much as I did the moment I first put it on my head, the novelty simply does not wear off. It's a much better experience playing games in VR than watching them on a TV screen, that's for sure! :smile:

Me and my other half went to one of the proper Sony organised events last weekend and have to say we were both impressed.

The graphics are not as clear as I had hoped, I found it difficult to get them to focus clearly but even then, the detail is sadly lacking. Anything on a black / dark background looks very grainy - Rush of Blood and Resident Evil are both examples. I also tried Ocean Decent from the VR Worlds disc and it was probably the best thing I did, the more colourful graphics seemed to work much better. Rush of Blood is a good game and feels very like being on a roller coaster / ghost train at a theme park, the Move controllers work well as the guns. Resident Evil was fun but probably not a purchase for me, my girlfriend on the other hand loved it and made it her fave of the day. She also tried Driveclub (too fast for her apparently) and London Heist which she thought was decent.

On the whole, it's very immersive and I really enjoyed playing it but not sure if I'd spend a long time on it, partly because of the lack of a killer game that I really want to play, but also partly because strangely it feels like more of a social thing that you would try with other people. I can see it as a great thing to have at a party or family gathering.

I am pretty certain I'll get one, but I think I'll wait until they start to bundle it with some games and there are more offers around. I'll be honest though, I am tempted to treat myself to one for Christmas....

Reading all the comments on here was making me regret buying it for my son's Christmas present. Thanks for cheering me up a bit with your comment! :laughing:<3

Play VR for the first time today. Played Rigs & as much I was impressed with the VR I thought the game was poor overall. In the hour I played I had enough. Crazy to think it's a full price game. Also played Drive Club which was good but seems to lack content also. Also my eyes watered up often which made it burly but that's just me.

I want to get it but I'm going to wait until it has a good collection of games. Horror games is what I really want it for :confused:

It isn't, it's just not cheap....

Had it since day 1, absolutely brilliant as far as I'm concerned. I wasn't expecting lifelike visuals where I couldn't tell make believe from the real world, I wanted something to enjoy and PSVR delivers it by the shovel load!
I couldn't give a monkeys at what technical processes folk moan about, yes the visuals in Drive Club VR don't match normal Drive Club but the experience is way more better - I've never braced and cringed when about to crash in normal Drive Club....

Folk who moan and say I'll wait for PSVR 2, bet you sat and waited for HD when forward thinkers were already enjoying new experiences, were still watching VHS in a DVD era....

And those who claim it's a novelty like Kinect and 3D, try it properly and you'll know you're talking nonsense! VR has been touted for decades, it's only now it's really in the grasp of consumers, yes it isn't 'cheap' but nether is a high end smartphone in your pocket.

Oh and anyone who has ever loved Rez since the day it came out on Dreamcast simply have to try it on PSVR, it's all you ever wanted to play it with!

Amazon killed off student discounts on Halloween. All trick and no treat from them this year I'm afraid. All students get from Amazon now is a discount on textbooks and the special Prime membership.

I listed it here last week, seems to be going in and out of stock http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/pre-order-playstation-vr-for-delivery-19-12-16-332-49-tesco-direct-2535610

You've probably already had replies, but I had one of these and can honestly say it was fantastic!
The graphics are quite poor (ps3 level), but once you're in a game you really don't care. With the exception of Driveclub, which was terrible looking far into the distance on the demo version.
It really is the best immersion you can get for a game. However, I sold mine to get my money back whilst I can as there are limited decent games with replay-ability. With not too many in the pipeline for the coming months. With that in mind I would advise anyone to wait for either; a larger set of high-quality games, or an improved version with better resolution. Which will likely take a while!

That's my opinion anyway...

why us this so expensive

He's being (jokingly) pedantic - Strictly, if you "demoed it", that means you're the one giving the demo, in which case you'd be expected to know about it - if you "received a demo/had a demo/had it demoed" then you were shown it, which is probably what you meant.

Wait until he finds out what fun girlfriends are,the VR headset won't get a look in,and just like the VR headset all his mates will want one to,and not just for Christmas :wink:

That's because when you put the headset on it immediately brainwashes you into thinking it is brilliant and then ordering one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIom3LSbB0I

My son got this on day release & the whole family loves it! It makes a nice change for him rather than playing all his fighting games. All his friends that have played it now want one for Christmas too. Definitely recommend it.

is this still valid? I really need to know.

i ordered last week, vr+camera+move control+ps4 pro+sony 43 hdr tv.

Im currently sending mine back to tesco for a replacement, they assure me on the phone they have more in stock to send out to me, even though its peeorder only on the site. We shall see, if they have some why are they not for sale? Or do they keep spares incase?

If you're going with the PSVR, I highly recommend signing up to http://www.boomerangrentals.co.uk/ as VR games are wildly overpriced.

Headset is great, especially with the move controllers. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is my current favorite, along with Battlezone (latter is a bit pricey, however!).

​Might be missing the point but what good is portable? You cant go very far with out seeing. Lol.

I have Driveclub VR and there is no blur. Once you have calibrated the display and fitted it on your face correctly it is absolutely fine. This is a thread about buying PSVR not saying why you don't like it. Makes me laugh when people say its poor quality when they clearly either haven't had a proper session on it or it makes their poor tummies feel bad. No problems here - man up FFS.

Blimey! Best of luck waiting for that, and enjoy the poor quality and instant motion sickness.

this ... what a crock of sh*t ... f**k tesco quite frankly

waiting for V2 next year with improved resolution

I bought one for launch date but traded it in within a few days. It really is an amazing bit of kit but I found I suffered from severe motion sickness when playing games like Eve (10 minutes was the most I could manage). Also be warned there are lots and lots of wires.

This first generation of headsets is little more than an initial foray into VR, establishing a baseline. Considering the lack of consumer VR up to this point, I'd say they're doing pretty well. Higher res screens will continue to drop in price, and once we get foveated rendering and maybe Samsung's earphones to solve the problem with locomotion then VR will really be aimed at the mass market. Right now, I think they're smart to cater to early adopters and do so with caution.

Just hit for Black Friday

Sadly I have to agree.

It's such a shame as the immersion is amazing. .....

Hopefully if developers can coax better graphics/tone down blur over time I might bite, because the immersion is that good. ..

I'm happy to put immersion over graphics...... but there is a cut off point for me....

VR has been around 25+ years but even in 2016 the resolution is nowhere near good enough. The resolution needs to be at least 8K due to visual proximity of the image, 16K will fully realise VR but that's a long way off and VR may or may die off again as a fad before those resolutions are common place.

http://www.tweaktown.com/news/49693/amds-graphics-boss-vr-needs-16k-240hz-true-immersion/index.html

The resolution is terrible especially considering the PS4 is moving to 4K, then not to mention the motion sickness. I hate to say it but feel in a years time this will end up like the Kinect.

Aye, no confirmed delivery date as yet though.

Same price as Amazon atm.

Spoke to someone in cex.and they were offering £50 more then they were selling them at Tesco for. As they knew they' were in short supply so bought them up as knew they'd be in high demand over xmas.!

Cool :-)

Just had the email back.

'Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately Amazon have taken the decision to remove the 5% discount code from NUS Extra. We have been told that they may offer different deals at different times, but the fixed 5% discount has gone. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.'

****.

You are right. All Amazon NUS discount codes expired on 31/10/16. And it looks like we are not getting new codes as there is nothing on the NUS extra website.

Nice, thank you.

It will have to do something to improve things. My money's on some clever supersampling to crisp things up a bit. I live in hope.

TBH I agree - don't think Pro will improve things.....

VR resolution simply isn't great.

Experience is amazing. .... but graphics/resolution is very poor

I would imagine that's when they are *expecting* stock to be delivered to purchasers. Can't imagine they'd just make up a random placeholder date.

Anybody know if the 12/12 date is a placeholder date or are they really not expecting stock for over 5 weeks?

can't see any exceptionality in price.

Well if that's the case, sign me up for a Pro.

I wouldn't count on it improving it, I've not tried the PSVR yet but I have a Vive with a 1060 (more powerful than PS Pro) and it suffers from something similar to what you guys describe. In that case I suspect it's mainly down to resolution. Stuff in the distance has gotta be only a few pixels wide right?

I hope the Pro does improves things but I'm not convinced; with current games for PS4, the Pro will only improve things if the game developers code in a specific Pro patch etc.

Many are suggesting this will be the same for VR. Sony aren't saying much.

I truely hope/wish the Pro does improve things - but that'll mean another £332 outlay! !

In just over a week we should know. .....

picked mine up on Monday, managed to get mine during the 20 per cent discount and wow! im blown away! I had a gear vr free with my phone and I thought that was amazing but this is a whole different ball game! playing figs and drive drive and figs is brilliant game!! drive club is good just taking short sessions on that to get used to the motion sickness!!

Hot
Game are still ripping customers off instore by only selling this in a bundle for £479
Disgraceful

The blurring of distant objects is down to gpu, Sony stated the VR performed poorly on the standard PS4, the Pro was announced when they said this, so i would assume the Pro improves or removes the blur

Elite dangerous works spot on with head tracking on my £20 vr headset.

I see you opted for the extended guarantee out on that L. Nice one! :stuck_out_tongue:

We're still some way off that tech but it's certainly what was meant by wireless. But then the graphical computing power, screen quality and battery tech should be much better too and tbh they are bigger dealbreakers for me than cables.

Same price @Amazon( not in stock) but strangely it doesn't show NUS discount( I have it).

I'm not down with the yoofs, what is this 'Take the L'?
If you mean 'admit defeat' then no I will not as the poster implied that the VR headset would have to be heavy and only play mobile games (I assume he thought it would be portable) which is not what was meant by 'wireless' at all. A wireless VR headset would be more akin to a Wii U controller or Vita using remote play.
Happy to help you understand. :laughing:

There's a stack of them at cex so quite a few don't like it,I guess it'll depend on the individual.

Have any HUKDers got this? If so, would you recommend?
- I had all the move setup and sharpshooter on the PS3, but never used it... will this be the same?

Yeah the Wii U model is the way to do it, but it seems to transfer at 50 Mbps or so while if Sony are using HDMI to its full potential they are transferring up to 10 Gbps/18 Gbps (HDMI 2.0) to the PSVR, so it will be a while until we have wireless that can support that. I hope we do get there though.

Take the L dude..​ :smirk:

Thanks for the heat everyone <3

Not really, it's a Wii U controller in a different format!! :wink:

That's completely different as wireless VR is essentially a wireless monitor.

I think you're misunderstanding 'wireless' here, is your controller heavy and does it only play crappy mobile games? :wink:

Yeah it is weird. They shouldn't really list them for order at all unless they have physical units in stock IMO...just annoys people who want to order otherwise. I have mine pre-ordered with Amazon for delivery on the 14th (but have to wait until Christmas to play it, I promised the wife).

​yep, really. I managed to order one @ 7pm last Thursday, just before I actually recieved a stock alert email. having just missed out on the deal when it went to £330 originally. I've been watching it a few times daily and it's been in/out for preorder since then. however it's been unavailable for the past 2 days until now. I'm just glad I managed to get one with staff 20% discount. I just wish I knew when tesco actually hope to fulfill all these new orders that they keep opening and closing. So if you need it for Xmas I wouldn't rely on the quoted date too much.

Mines currently sat in its box unopened and unused... the time I get round to using it, it could be half its value

it's been in and out of stock half a dozen times in the past week. also the back in stock date has been all over the place.

How do you mean?

Wireless VR will be heavy and only be able to run crappy mobile games. You're always gonna get a better experience running VR from a games console or computer.

So not 'in stock' but available to order.

You demoed it? Surely you already knew a lot about it to demo it.

I was looking forward to the vr but as it uses wires I think il wait until it's wireless but regardless of the :smile: added
