$370 for the Skyrim bundle with the rev. 2 PSVR
THE TEMPTATION IS VERY STRONG
Read through whole thread, here are some random thoughts:
I bought standart Twin Move Pack, that one — https://www.gamesmen.com.au/media/c...8d27136e95/p/l/playstation_move_twin_pack.jpg— while pack is new, moves are old model with mini USB. Anyway, I absolutely wanted some cradle or charging station, like the oficial one for DS4 — and there is such thing for moves, but it was hard to find, because it was for PS3 Moves. Looks like this, fully compatible with my moves, not sure about new models.
Interesting thing about these old model of moves — originally they want to charge ONLY if connected to PS4 that is turned on, even in sleep mode they won't charge — someone asked about it here in thread. You cant just use phone charger. That's due to some special usb–cable requirement — if you really want charge them with your normal ac, you can buy this. This adapter is also included in that charging dock I talked about earlier.
Some words about my setup — I'm happy I was able to hide whole mess of cables that is PSVR currently.
That how it looks from outside:
PSVR itself is in the right side box:
With PS4 Slim, if I want to use PSVR I need to connect that usb cable, maybe later I'll upgrade to PRO so I can leave it in rear USB, but that's not really a problem when I need to put out goggles and moves anyway, that clean look is worth it, I think. Another detail — if I just want to play relular ps4, it works just fine without breakout box connected via USB — hdmi signal goes through without issues.
As for games, I'm currently happy with my VR library (Superhot, Rez, Thumper, Stardust, Polybius, Statik, Accounting, Fruit Ninja, VR Worlds and GT Sport, plus some free apps and demos), will also buy Ultrawings for that sence of flying. Maybe my taste is bit weird, but I tend to enjoy games with abstract graphics much more — while there is some realistic looking games, PS4 is clearly too weak for this kind of visuals, so I'm noticing downsides immediately. On the other hand, Superhot, Rez, Polybius, Battlezone looking awesome and it's absolutely unreal to be able to be inside of such kind of world.
In the end of the day, I absolutely like what I got with PSVR, it's already got amazing library, even if Sony will abandon it right now (lol) there is lot of great stuff to check. I have feeling that E3 '18 will be absolutely amazing, can't wait.

Just in case, but make sure you've read the OP for setup guide/tips.
i.e. Try not to play it from Rest mode, leave headset on flat surface while booting up and more.
Looks like they got wind of the demand:

Damn, that'll teach me to wait until the last minute to preorder. I can't get The Inpatient from Best Buy online or at any stores near me. Guess I'll have to sit tight and wait for a replenishment post-release.
I could probably get it through another retailer, but GCU and I also have a gift card I got for Christmas.

I just saw that when I went in. :/ they're reading this thread.
This happened in the last few days. I think it was Saturday when I got my first one, then had to trade it out on Sunday.
I also cannot find any listing of the used move charger, unless it got bumped from $10 to $20. Which wouldn't surprise me.
I'm thinking about buying this soon, my 5 year old son's birthday is coming up and he has been asking for a VR headset for a while, of course i will enjoy this too as well as my 11 year old son. I have a PS Pro btw.
What are the best games to get for kids?
I own GT Sport and will probably get Skyrim for me

Hmm, maybe Job Simulator? There's also Eagle Flight, Robinson: The Journey, Dino Frontier, Rec Room, and check out the Moss demo when you can as it's one of the best 3rd person VR games I've played.
I think the reccomende safety use of PSVR is from 12 years of age... for sure 5 year old is too young, but don't ask me why or how they determine that.
Essentialy there are worries that vr might have a negative impact on the development of your eyesight when you're young. This is not confirmed at the moment, but as long as there is the possibility of a risk most companies want to cover themselves so that they aren't sued if this becomes an issue down the line. My take is that while I wouldn't have a problem letting a child try my vr headset occasionaly, I doubt I would buy a set for a child. Even though it seems questionable that there is an issue, there is just no reason to risk it for something that is just used for entertainment.

Resident Evil 7, Until Dawn Rush of Blood and don't forget Littlstar for those nice educational videos.

For kids, Carnival is a great game my kids love it (age 5-7-9-11). My 9 year old really likes Pixel Gear. The Playroom is also a favorite in my household (and it's free).
I'd be careful letting a 5 year old use VR often and for long period. I let my kids use in 15 minute secession less than once a week. I have occasionally let them use 15 minute secession twice in the same day. VR is very powerful in the way it fool the brain and I certainly can see it affecting accommodation reflexes and dept perception process.
There is plenty of testimony of people whom PSVR 'taugh' their brain to see dept (they had dept perception disability). Same with motion sickness (outside VR). Don't dismiss the warning as just 'general blanket warning'. Small amount of use is not likely to cause harm, but we don't know enough about the development process of the neuro-vision to guess all the potiential harm.
Absolutely yes. Farpoint is one of my top PSVR experiences thus far. The cool thing is the Aim controller is slowly being given compatibility in other PSVR games like DOOM VFR, Arizona Sunshine and Dick Wilde.

Sony is still hiring strong for their VR games and software with 26 positions currently advertised:
https://www.playstationjobs.co.uk/j...ocations/0/Departments/0/jobtype/0/keyword/VR
London Studio is developing Blood & Truth, and has advertised about 10-15 roles. Some interesting tidbits:
About 10 in Manchester Studio for an unknown game in Unreal Engine, with the following attributes:
And there are a couple of roles at R&D West (London), looks like for API's and plugins to allow other developers to more easily develop PS VR games:

Sprint Vector, coming to PS VR in Q1 2018, just went into beta (on Rift and Vive), so might not be too far away.

On 11-Jan @NextVR tweeted the following but then later deleted the tweet. It seems that the app isn't yet available in the mentioned PSN stores so may be delayed.
The developer of VRChat mentioned on Steam that it will be coming to PS VR. In response to a question about Steam Workshop he said:
http://steamcommunity.com/app/438100/discussions/0/1483235412216495640/#c1483235412216691891

Unlike the NBA app you can simply download NextVR with a US account and start in with your "regular" local account in the meantime.
But I do wonder if it will have region specific programming in the end.
how is sony gonna deal with all the copyright issues?
is there an example of a game with so much unofficial customization
my PSVR came! it's a gen one headset which is fine but the heavier cable does suck but I'll get used to it.
I'm back in the VR world. I forgot how good it is. Excited to play thumper.
Driveclub vr is the full driveclub game?
The xwing vr mission was sooo good. Are there any other games like it? Also what are some of the lengthier games. I understand why many games are short but was hoping to get something meaty.

A different tour, 4 cars (I think) not available for use but all the rest are including DLC content, no rain options.
Everything else is the same.

One of the best Puzzle VR games out there. My girlfriend was addicted and keeps asking me when new missions will come out.
Good but really short. Only 4 missions. Only buy at discount.
The Jack Assault experience is similar and also better, and its free.
Lengthy games: RE7, Skyrim, Farpoint.
I only played each of those space games about one time but I recall liking the Xwing mission more.
But I think Eve overall is better than both. But been a long time since Ive played any of them.
What do you mean delayed? This Tuesday was always its release date. At least since it was delayed to 2018.
Ah really? It had been this Friday in my head for awhile, must have just been me, oops.
In the PS4 settings menu under devices there's a VR setup section. To set pupil distance it will take a couple photos of your face and ask you to align some boxes with the center of your pupils.

Use that guide. It'll lead to better calibration.
i went from 2.5 to 2.4.
The biggest thing that's been bugging me and only shows up in text is the far left of my left eye gets blurry. We'll see if this fixes it
