Feels a bit like the Vita all over again, to me: hyped up and then a complete lack of interest by developers in making games for it. Can't see it having a long-term future.

Would love one of these, waiting for £200-250 though hopefully :smiley:

But the thing is Vita was and still is a great device. The only thing that stopped it being a success is the negativity from people putting off others and harming the user base.

Deja vu anyone?

Voting cold as it will be cheaper in 15 years apparently... :man:

Oh you may joke now, but come 15 years... I'll have the last laugh :smirk:

Interest in VR is short lived, just look on gumtree/ebay, plenty SH units, LIKE 3D, VR has a limited, novelty value, the games are ''tablet quality'' at best, shallow, mostly overpriced and short.

I got mine from Very with the 20% off code the other week, along with the camera, move controllers, and headphones - all together around £400 after discount and it is worth every penny!
I agree it needs more high budget games but just by looking at the demos in all the different psn stores, they're well on the way.
It's a great tech innovation but people need to realise that it will only get developed further if there's enough consumer interest in it.
IMO the tech is still doing their first steps and it can be pushed much further. There are many people working on solving issues like the motion sickness many can experience but the immersion one gets with it is mind blowing - even if it's into a cartoon-ish world.
Bottom line is, it's awesome. Yes it needs work but I'm happy to buy into it and give sony my money to take it further.
Highly recommended!

They won't even be making peripherals for a console that has been superseded twice over. I admit I snapped a bit but to say you're ever going to get a full VR kit for little more than the price of a dual shock 4 is just being silly.
I'll be buying when they fix the HDR pass through blunder.

I didn't see the price of console controllers dropping by much over the last 2 generations, so won't presume vr headsets would drop from the £350- £700 range to £60.

This is unless the technology remains at the exact same spec as it is now!

£295 on ebay :smiley:

while i agree with what youre saying, he said "when the ps6 is out" meaning a good 10 years later where it probably will be £60 by then.

but even so, he's lying to himself as we know that vr tech would have gone far beyong what it is now and he would get the more up to date version.

Its a fantastic experience, things like going down into the batcave or looking around a star destroyer but just not enough to keep you going to warrant the price tag as it wont be used for months about 3 weeks after the initial purchase due to lack of mainstream games its compatible with.

It gave the impression it was wireless when advertised but came with more cabling than what bt own

Also looking at future releases, its still about 95% third party games, which can be fun, but not nowhere near am experience like res evil.

Just my opinion, if u dont like it, lump it!!!

Hear for price.

If you are interested in VR I strongly suggest you try before you buy ( if you can )

Some users suffer from VR motion sickness, unfortunately I couldn't get over it and eventually sold it.

Another few things to consider before you hit buy.

1. Graphics for ps vr are not great

2. Disables HDR and hdcp to 1.4 for PRO owners.

3. Some games cause more motion wickedness than others. Robinson and Resident evil being the worst.

If you are ok with the above. The Immersion is amazing, you do feel like you're in the cockpit of an xwing!

He's talking 2 generations away, a vr headset could easily be £60 in 10-20 years

I'm waiting for the Microsoft VR (Compatible with Xbox Scorpio) and I guess you will be able to use it on PC with Windows too. I think that will be the game changer and so much more possibility. E.x Gaming, Development, Entertainment, Virtual Simulation.

Cant wait for it to come out and hopefully it's compatible across the Microsoft platform like what Microsoft do now. Also heard it will be around £299 and I expect it to far trump this.

Some people really kick themselves in the nuts and hang them self as gamer's. All VR headsets are amazing and need the support. If you want to just be proven right then you are crazy because if something is good it needs to be supported all the way. PSVR is one that needs all the support it can get. Know one wins when VR fails, know one.

Any owner explain what the visual experience is like. Tried the smart phone version ( yeah i know ) but don't wanna spend £300+ to look at a close up mini screen! Also it appears you need the PlayStation camera too at £40.
I remember HD ready TV release so might wait till the tech matures a little.

But this. Play the London heist, batman and the shark one. It's impressive and amazing. Love it!

Bought on Sunday for £349. ****!

Would love one of these, waiting for £200-250 though hopefully :smiley:

Let's see, the HTC Vive costs £700 and its advisable to have a good PC to get the best out of it. Or you can spend £320 on this and use it with a £170 console. I wonder which will be better? Cold!

I can't stand scary games, but what I'm referring to wouldn't be scary if it weren't in VR. The fact that my brain was telling me that stood metres in front of me was a monster trying to claw my eyes out, was beyond anything I've ever gotten from a 2D or 3D screen.

I'd wait until they do higher resolution screens, but when you're in the moment, even that fades away, and you can almost trick yourself that you're there.

Powerful stuff!

Regarding the price, I relate it more to buying a TV. If it had the resolution, I would probably try doing normal computer tasks in VR. Sadly, it's just not there yet.

Any tips for getting the best out of 3D blurays with the PSVR? Mainly thinking about Audio....

Can you watch a 3D Bluray without using headphones (since they are only on one plane ie. no vertical positioning) and still get 5.1/7.1 through an AV Amp or does this switch to Stereo like I've read happens when playing games?

I have the Gear VR. That's not very good at all lol

How many people on here bought one but would vote cold on Switch deals lol...

I have a PS4 but this thing is a waste of time. VR is a waste of time in general to be honest - another fad just like 3DTV. So much money on something that just won't get supported at all. Just like the Vita.
At least with the Vita I could hack it so I could play retro games on it when I'm not playing one of the 5 games released on the system.

Nah not yet. I wouldn't play 'scary' games anyway. I don't play them outside of VR let alone inside it lol. VR makes me feel sick though. But everything to me just feels like a texh demo rather than anything else.

The entry price is stupid also. Would rather buy a new console or GFX card than a VR headset.

What a load of horse ****. There were a lot of failure points with the Vita but the negativity wasn't on the top of that list. With the great advances with Smartphones year on year and cheap/easy platform to develop on who would pick an outdated piece of tech that had barely any support. It even had expensive proprietary storage card.

We haven't heard much on the PS VR since launch. Sony needs to ramp it up if they want it to survive.

I urge anyone thinking about it to take the plunge, I've had mine for a few weeks and it's a great piece of kit, some great titles out there like Rez, Dirt VR, Resident Evil 7, I haven't put mine down.

Just got rid of my VR due to the lack of use. Batman, Until Dawn were good but no replay value. Resi 7 was great but couldn't play in VR, shat myself too much :confused:

Well that and the ridiculously priced memory cards. And not understanding the handheld market likes more pick up and play games rather than full enhanced games.

Hopefully E3 will announce a bundle with a pro. Or at least a bundle, including camera, move remotes etc.
Heat for the price and I agree with the above..... needs support as VR is awesome. It's the future with some games. Especially horror!

I think the rip off priced memory cards and lack of great western third party support damaged the Vita. Sony didn't even put enough effort in. Great tech but damaged by Sony themselves if anyone is to blame. They handled the PSP, PS Move, Eyetoy etc just as badly. :wink:

Voting cold as it will be cheaper in 15 years apparently... :man:

I'm also undecided about which way to vote. On one hand it's the cheapest price available, but on the other hand I also think it will be cheaper when the PS6 is released

Still far to expensive can get a ps pro for that price

No it won't. Maybe I'm dreaming when I say £60 but there's no way they'll charge more then the price of a console for an accessory in a few generations time. VR will be dead by then anyway. (Just want to clarify to the OP that I haven't voted either way on this)

Still won't be 60 quid mate, it will cost the same money but will just be more advanced and possibly wireless

Did you miss the bit where I said the PS6? Which I'm assuming is like 15 years away. Have a read first before you reply next time

Thank you Techn, I'll have a look through :smiley:

Can anyone suggest some very cheap (but OK to good games) to buy with this? Any floating around for £5 to £10 etc?

£60 ? What are you talking about ? You clearly have no idea of even the cost of the components that make up electronic goods like this, let alone the manufacturing and R&D costs, this isn't one dude in a backroom coming up with this. I understand there are some tight wads on here but be realistic, please. Economies of scale if enough people bought would bring this down to £200 I imagine but you will never see this sub £150.

Voted hot.

Getting closer to that £50 buying point! :stuck_out_tongue:

The Resident evil 7 demo is the scariest horror experience I've had!!!

Love resident evil but have never been that scared to open a door.

I wasn't sold on the psvr. Thought I would love it but too many wires and headaches and could only really use it for 30mins at a time. Also needs some AAA titles

I do feel for the Vita. It had such great potential and could have been an amazing device

Its been available at the £320 price point sporadically ever since launch. I used to own one, fantastic bit of kit that delivered a mind blowing experience. I only sold mine because I'm moving abroad in the summer and a £350 toy isnt a personal priority in my life right now. I think E3 will be a big make or break event for the PSVR. The tech has huge potential, enough id say to warrant spending £300+ on. However, it now needs some quality games to see that potential delivered. They don't necessarily need to be huge AAA titles, the best game I played on the PSVR was Holoball!
