How is it pass through if it doesn't pass through, is it missing a wire or something. The box shouldn't touch the signal at all when vr is not in use. Is it going to add lag too in normal non HDR 1080p 'passthrough'

Why doesn't the pro have a extra hmdi port on the front for vr. I'm starting to like the old Sony better. ps3 was expensive, yet it had hdmi from the start, blu-ray, SD card reader and BC build in. That was a pro.

This is disappointing for 4K TV/HDR users.

I don't see myself dealing with hot swapping wiring. Passing on PS VR altogether now, sounds too inconvenient/annoying already.

You don't mind wearing a headset with a cable, in which you have to plug in another cable for headphones, yet draw the line at plugging in an extra hdmi cable :)

Back in my day we had to plug in the cables on both ends, actually splitting into three! separate cables on one end the horror, cabled controllers, memory card, a disk, a power cord, then clean it all away again once done. Damn how did we even get to playing a game in between all that work :p

Why use it in the living room anyway? Just leave a power cord and hdmi cable there and take the ps4 to a comfortable spot to play VR games without getting disturbed. I'm sure my wife doesn't want me prancing in front of the tv while she;s trying to watch something :)

All of that together just sounds like a chore .  This sounds better for the computer chair gamer where you dont have to worry about HDR and you can just have your VR getup setup on a monitor and leave it at that.

Yes, i'd hate to unplugging/plugging stuff all the time...after dumping $500 on this thing.   VR right now is super half baked with this lousy tethering and extra connections...its just not accessible for a livingroom product.
