I wouldn't put them in the same category. 

I agree with this.

I really like Gear VR, and will certainly buy one if I end up getting a Galaxy as my next phone. But I was really surprised at how much better PSVR is.

Pricing makes a difference.

 

100 dollars vs 300 I think(for the PSVR)

 

Both impressive, and I expect them both to be popular.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Oh yeah, of course. One is an accessory for a phone, one is a purpose built device.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

One is a visor to spice your phone in. 

 

The other is a gaming tool.

Oh. So it's more expensive than the actual console?

Neat.

 

 

Then again, that means the cost of a PS4+VR is the same as a decent computer alone. What a steal.

It is what it is.



Is Playstation camera required to play? So close to 500€ to get a working setup? (without move controllers)

PS: found out the camera went down a bit in price compared to launch.



Persona 5 on PS3, I won't need next gen!

I always say most VR games looks like regular Ps move games, what you say about that is VR add to them some defferent experience?

The thing is Gear can't be used as a peripheral, it is a standalone device. That's why they can't be compared.

Wait, what?

You have to insert your phone into the headset though. Wouldn't that be considered a peripheral then?
