What does the Switch have to do with PSVR? They have completely different purposes.
Money better spent elsewhere. Mostly adults working two jobs, portability over a 2-300$ headset is just a better value for my customers. Plus saves me a very likely return against my numbers as PSVR is one of our most returned items.
Edit: To clarify one of the most returned items in gaming
Picked one up. I think it's defective.
Processor unit doesn't seem to be able to hold power for more than a minute. It just hard powers off and the only way I can seem to get it to power back on is to physically remove the power cable and plug it back in.

This right here, some people can drink the Sony Koolaid and I got many people who responded to my original post. Fact is, it is not a premium product, it is a novelty.
My job as a sales consultant is to give the customer the knowledge and tools on a product. If Sony releases a product that is not up to customer expectations (which is the case) Then the blame falls on Sony.
I am not some anti Sony gremlin looking to shit all over Sony products. The X750 TV is awesome for gaming. If there is value ill push the product. If not and it gets returned thst hurts my margins and numbers like I said it is business.

Yeah I got the 170$ for Astrobot and DOOM on amazon.co.uk.
I'll prob get the creed cundle and buy astrobot separately. Wish I bought some vr games during last months sale :/
Errrr. Unlike a bunch of customers that would buy a VR headset I already know what I'm getting into since I have a Vive.
I bought the PSVR because I know what to expect, and I am willing to put down that money to experience it.
I just want to know if others ran into similar problems and can help me out. When I get this fixed I will not be getting a refund.
So nah, fall back on using me as an example of your anecdotal disaffected customer.
You were never my fallback, sorry to break that news to you.
I actually enjoy it when people do research on a product before they buy it. Makes for a fun conversation.
Jeeze.
Anyway, anyone ran into my issue? What was the resolution?
To recap:

Have you tried plugging into another outlet/socket? Otherwise, yeah, return/exchange it.
Also, why were you being quoted by StrapOnFetus? lul
Thought it was tomorrow starting at 10 pm PST. Did you see it listed somewhere as midnight tonight? Because that would be awesome!
Could it be possible that out of a few million products a few of them could be faulty? Especially since this is the first time they have produced a product like this at this kind of scale? I have had a PSVR 1.0 for 2 years and don't have any problems, I haven't heard a bunch of people say these problems here or on the Reddit.
Yeah, I tried that. Damn.
I hate doing returns.
On your second question: no damned clue, lol
What are you talking about?!
That poster was discussing a potential defect.
You act like defects never happen in a production run.
If you actually are a sales consultant (which means fuck all btw) then you'd know that.
JFC don't be such an uppity jerk.
That's definitely a defect.
I can play mine for hours at a time with no issues with the processor.
Either try a new plug/ socket or return it :S

I dont think you realize it, but be careful with the word uppity. It has racist connotations to it towards African Americans thank you.
Lol hyperbole, hyperbole, anecdotal hyperbole. Are you even the manager of your particular store? How would you know what's the most returned item on just your shift alone or anyone else's, let alone know what's the most returned item in gaming.
I took the bait. Kinda irritated me.
All are winners. The Tetris Effect is sublime. That package is such a good deal.
I almost want to get one for Beat Saber. But after playing the Vive a few times (which I believe to be the peak of VR gaming right now), I don't think I'd use it enough. I would probably just make other people play it more than I played it myself. As it's so fun to see someone's first reaction to various VR experiences.
I'm waiting for the inevitable wireless headset. Not sure how close we are to that yet.

People wanna try it during the weekend lol. Doesnt make it a bad product. Its not for everyone, but everyone wants to try it.
Didn't know the history of the word, so let me rephrase:
JFC don't be such an up-your-own-patoot jerk.
Exactly. Had one since launch, been on Reddit since then too. It's possible, but you'd think there'd be complaints on PSVR Reddit, but there aren't.
Any glasses wearers willing to report their experience? Have heard it's totally fine to its a blurry light leak mess and unusable..
Bundles are getting priced pretty aggressively in the UK, and we're not even at BF yet. £180 for the starter kit plus astro bot and moss is crazy value. At this price we're getting close to "fuck it" prices. Hell, that's almost the price of a shitty collector's edition game with statue...I've wasted a lot of money on those.
I recommend anyone on the fence to jump in at this price, you won't be disappointed and will have a platform that will run for a good while yet.

Well, I picked up a PSVR last summer, and it has given me some of the best gaming memories since I started playing games 40 years sgo. It's a good thing you weren't serving me when I went to buy one, otherwise you would be responsible for me missing out.
I'm hanging on for games and move controllers in the bundle for 199 then I'm in. Already have wifely permission sorted.
It's totally fine. Likely the best headset for glasses wearers by considerable margin.
That makes no sense. This is a supplementary experience with different games. Not a replacement for TV gaming.
Why lie when anyone can check your post history composed entirely of Nintendo fanboyism?
My SO wears glasses when using it most of the time, but has also used it wearing contact lenses; I just asked her and she says it's perfectly fine if you adjust the visor distance correctly (so that your glasses don't stick to your face) and that there's pretty much no difference between glasses and contacts. I specifically asked about light seeping out from the outside and she said there's no problem with that.

I guess you're right. I was still thinking of VR as just an alternative way to experience my games, like 3d movies or something. But I suppose there are enough unique experiences built for the system that it's more of a unique experience at this point.
How does "no one want it" and yet they "ask you questions about it." That's a contradiction.
No. There's a phrase we say amongst ourselves that usually is followed by another word. I've never been called uppity by another race. Let alone be offended by it. WTF? I didn't think you were trolling but this on top of your other post seems like u on that troll shit
So.. are we expecting to refresh Amazon at midnight EST tonight to snag this deal? Someone walk me through this so I know what to expect..
I'm really, Really tempted to get one this year. But yeah, having a newborn that I have to watch makes it kind of iffy.
No one wants it after he answered these questions and told them "the truth" about PSVR. ;)
What does being a sales consultant for Best Buy have anything to do with the viability of this product bringing me entertainment? Conflating people possibly bring back faulty equipment or those who have issues with VR in general as "people don't want it" is spotty as fuck.
You can order online now w instore pickup, so I assume so
No, no, don't consider it. This isn't the best time to get into it at a decent price point and I'm definitely not saying this so I can hog all the Black Friday deals for myself.
Where? I tried this at Gamestop and BestBuy and neither seem to allow instore pick up
