Man, this has been a long time coming. Reviews for PSVR started coming out today! So lets look at how they break down.

 

The Verge: 8.5 "When good enough is great"

Kotaku: "PSVR should be better"

Gizmodo: "This is the VR system to invest in right now, especially if you have a Playstation"

Ars Technica:  "If you're looking for something to bridge that significant gap between low-end and high-end virtual reality, Sony has what you're looking for."

NY Times: "for the average consumer, the thrill of virtual-reality gaming with PlayStation VR may be fleeting."

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/06/technology/personaltech/sony-playstation-vr-review-the-best-of-an-early-crop.html

 

Digital Trends: "Is it worth it? "In a word, yes. While PSVR offers limited power and options compared to Rift and Vive, it is still a worthy “full VR” experience, offering the kind of virtual reality that can trick you into thinking you’re somewhere else. You can look over the edge of a cliff, dive at the bottom of the ocean, or even fly."

IGN: 8.5 - " Sony's relatively inexpensive PlayStation VR headset brings good-quality virtual reality to the masses"

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.

Sounds like it's impressing.

Wired: "What matters is that this thing works in your living room. What matters is that it’s comfortable, immersive, and intuitive. What matters is that it invites people to see what you’re doing, even participate in what you’re doing (which it does, via asymmetric games like VR Playroom—which is free, and might just turn out to be the Wii Games of the platform.)"

DF's review is the most interesting so far imo (Dw, its not negative)

The camera's sweetspot seems to be the biggest issue in the living room
