Love looking at the list, and the only negative is Kotaku. Literally, everything I see from Kotaku is negative opinions. It's like they're still stuck in a high school world where hating on things is considered super edgey and badass. Why does anyone take their opinion seriously anymore?

Seems about what I expected. An inferior but cheaper VR product that gets the job done. No killer VR apps yet imho, I'll wait a generation or two before I jump in most likely.

Curious to see how it sells. $400 for a peripheral is a lot of money.

I really want one of these, but unfortunately, my only chance to get one at the moment is by entering free codes each day on the Taco Bell contest site :)

I think retailers will have some stock for launch day.

Hope so. I almost spent $800 on that Sony personal 3D viewer back in like 2010. I've BEEN ready for a while, now. Can't find any online and I don't want to be left out. Why is the economy so damn good?

Seems like a PS4pro will be a must. However i dont know if that will fix the PSEye problems with tracking. Sony really should of made a new PSEye or VREye.

It doesn't use the old PS Eye camera from Move, it used the new PS camera they released with the PS4.

Edit: It include the following upgrades:

Better resolution:

- PS Camera

1280×800 pixels @ 60 Hz^[1]
640×400 pixels @ 120 Hz^[1]
320×192 pixels @ 240 Hz^[1]

- PS Eye

640×480 pixels @ 60 Hz^[1]
320×240 pixels @ 120 Hz^[1]

It has two cameras, so it adds depth perception. It also has a higher FoV (85 vs 75º).

Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

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"

http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/5/13167954/playstation-vr-review-ps4-psvr-virtual-reality-headset-controllers

Kotaku: "PSVR should be better"

http://kotaku.com/playstation-vr-the-kotaku-review-1787424830

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

http://gizmodo.com/playstation-vr-review-this-is-the-vr-system-you-actual-1787339531

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."

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/10/playstation-vr-provides-a-lot-of-bang-for-your-virtual-reality-buck/

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."

http://www.digitaltrends.com/vr-headset-reviews/playstation-vr-review/

Add: IGN -> http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/10/05/playstation-vr-review?page=2

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

I'm more interested in the impressions 6 months to a year from now before jumping in.

I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
