The thing that puts me off of VR is all the bloody wires that seem to be needed. I guess wireless headsets are some way off but when they arrive I will be interested.

Got one and sent it back, graphics are poor. It's nearly there but needs a 2nd generation headset with better resolution.

What like RE7, Dirt Rally/Dirt 4, Farpoin and are to come?

Why?

I sold mine within a week. it was brilliant but I just knew I wouldn't get money's worth out of it as they aren't gonna put AAA games out for a system that only has 1.5~ million units

I'm waiting for PSVR 2.0 on PS5, perfect all the stuff from early VR

Keep an eye on the Amazon Warehouse deals. I picked the VR up for a nudge over £240 a couple weeks back. The deal was posted on here and I couldn't resist. Some are reluctant to purchase warehouse deals as they assume used, but my purchase was unused. The seal on the box was broken, so i'm guessing it was a return, but not a single item in the box had been unwrapped.

That was approx £80 cheaper than their New price at the time. If breaking the boxes seal is worth the extra cash then fair enough, each to their own. We all have our preferences, but i'd recommend the warehouse to anyone trying to keep the costs down.

I picked up 2 move controllers and the camera from CEX for £55, so my total for the complete bundle was around £295

Very pixelated visuals, very low qulity videos, misting up quick. Loosing tracking. Sent back when found out that GT Sport pulled out from full VR as it's not capable to deliver quality. Driveclub looks awful. I'm on PS Pro.

I love mine

Is it as good as the virtual reality films portrayal of the tech from the 90's films lawnmower man, disclosure e.t.c ?

How does the vr simulate your walking and hand movements ?

What's it actually like bro?

I can't speak about the PSVR specifically, but with the HTC Vive (PC) hand movements are tracked pretty much 1:1. Walking is tracked based on where the headset moves too but is accurate unless you're making odd movements. It'll always be better in movies, but it's brilliant in real life too.

I'm told the PSVR is a lot more limited on the moving around.

Great Price! I would bite but I'm still on the ropes as to whether I should hold off until the inevitable 2.0 model, or whether this is just going to continue to drop in price as the hype goes down.

By the time you factor in the camera and move controllers, it's not really that much cheaper

It's back again!

just to clarify can you use the Vr with the old PS3 Move and Camera ?? or do you need to buy new 1s

You can use the old move controllers, but you'll need the PS4 camera

You can.

It's not with the game though for £199 is it. I've looked but can't get it for that price.

Star Trek Bridge Crew (is PSVR) is very good too. Good to be able to give voice commands.

wonder how cheap these will be on Amazon Prime Day?

That's what they said about 3D TV and this is starting to feel a little reminiscent in my view. I hope not though but only time will tell.

Edit: Apologies, I didn't see your last post. Great minds and all that :grin:

It just seems everyone who gets one absolutely loves it for a bit...then plays it a little less, then a lot less and then not at all - reverting back to high definition gaming whilst comfortable on a sofa. It's kind of like 3D. Everyone declared it the best thing ever, there was loads of support initially...and now? Well, it's nearly dead. It feels a bit like that. I hope I'm wrong. Because I did love it in small spurts, and genuinely hope it succeeds and ushers gaming into new and exciting areas. But for now; I hated it was so low resolution, that there were a million wires, and that I had to unplug it to use HDR on my PS4 Pro.

Great price for the headset, paid £60 more than this 6 months ago.

I got the vr with my pro last week and I am absolutely loving it. Only issue is having to swap the hdmi around so I can play hdr gaming after finishing with the VR. VR is almost there and it has huge potential with gaming.
.heat for the deal

I think it's a good deal considering Horizon is around £20 on it's own thesedays.

My experience is very similar, its a bit of a pain to setup but once you do its worth it!

RES7 is awesome but I have to tell everybody to be silent as the slightest noise either on the game or in the house will have you jumping. The first time our dog brushed past my leg while I was playing it I nearly screamed like a girl!!

Rush of Blood is really good too and Here They Lie is also incredibly creepy. Robinsons Journey is a bit lighter but I found the controls are sometimes a bit tricky to get to grips with. As well as those games you mentioned Ace Combat and Gran Tourismo should also be great and it also feels like its crying out for somebody to make a boxing game!

Anyway after all that waffle its great, go and buy it, buy it now!!

I have a real love hate relationship with the VR

When I'm not using it, I hate it, think about selling it, wires are everywhere too which can get annoying, and I wonder why I even have it

Then I plug it on and put it on and boom, I realise why I've not sold it, it's an amazing experience, certainly takes gaming to the next level in my opinion. I played RES7 the other day for the first time, even streamed it with a couple of mates watching, they said they found it quite intense and couldn't imagine what it would have been like playing it wearing the VR, well I can assure you it completely sucks you in and you forget you are just playing a game in your living room. My heart rate jumped up a few times, and on a couple of occasions I really found myself on edge. I've got Rush of Blood which I'm yet to get round to playing which is meant to be another amazing experience, Drive Club which is great, and I can't wait for Skyrim or Doom

So yeah, that's my love hate relationship with the PS VR

Lol Me too. " PSVR + Horizon ZD for £199 wow, I want both" I thought.

Still £30 less than Amazon and £50 less than Game is good if you've got the camera etc already (got camera and one move controller from ps3 days).

Was scrambling for my wallet then when I saw the £199.85 price. Thought it was the PS VR and Horizon Zero Dawn haha. Still a good price for the headset. Am hoping by the time the end of the year arrives I can pick one up for around £250.

Nah, personally i wouldn't get it unless you have the Pro

I thought this was deal of the century then. I read it as PS4 slim + game + PSVR for £289.85. Little confusing for us simple people OP.

Hot, just not as Hot X)

The only game I've had issues with was Starblood arena. The speed and full 360 motion made my stomach turn. Every other title I've played so far has been fine.

Well worth it for that game alone. Will be fine on your 4 standard.

Why a fad. A handful of great games out for it. Farpoint, RE7, DriveClub. Dirt.

Couldn't be happier with my purchase and worth every penny

Great price, great piece of kit.

This may be a very stupid question, and i may have missed some important info above, or i may be completely wrong, but i thought you could only use the PSVR with the PS4 Pro?

Not true, it works with the standard PS4, be it original style or the slim.

However you will see graphical improvement with the Pro

If that were true the PSVR would never have made it to production. PS4 sales dwarf the PS4 Pro sales by quite a considerable margin for obvious reasons.

Well worth it! Some really good games for it. Resident Evil 7 in VR is one hell of an amazing experience! It will properly fill you with fear and panic, and fill your pants with something else :grin:

There's bound to be comments about motion sickness, not everyone gets it! Don't believe the sweeping statements! I've never had a problem with it.

Glad the prices are falling. I'd really like to see VR take off just because it offers a whole new way to play and can support some new types of game that otherwise wouldn't be possible. While good development can mitigate it, I think the main issue with these first gen headsets is the screen resolution, as it's so close to your eyes you need a high resolution or are going to start seeing the pixels that make up the image.

Perhaps over the next year, I'd love to see Sony come out with a higher resolution one, say for use with the PS4 Pro, as I doubt the base model could push a higher resolution at the frame rates needed for VR. Totally cross compatible of course just like PS4/PS4 Pro so no one ends up with useless hardware....

I'll bite with the VR when it's 200 :smile:

Anyone able to recommend this? I've got the normal PS4, planning on buying Resident Evil 7, which I hear is quite the experience with this kit on.

VR continues falling. :astonished:

I've just sold mine, but I hope it isn't a fad and we get better and easier to use headsets in the future.

I feel we're on the cusp of getting there technology wise, and with continued investment and support, VR is definitely something that can excel.
