Can you use it to watch 360 degree 3d videos?
I won't be home until tomorrow and I doubt I'll be able to find one. :(

Luckily, I live in an area that was hit by hurricane Matthew so maybe people have better things to spend their money on right now. Wish me luck!

I'm surprised that they're readily available online for purchase. I'm gonna try to buy one from a store so I have one tomorrow. If not, I already have one ready for checkout on Amazon and Gamestop.

One last question that I haven't seen in online reviews: How do regular ps4 games and movies look? Does it improve the experience?

I have heard of this thing, seems like the next big thing.
Been seeing knock offs all over already as well.

What PSVR knock-offs after you speaking of? Surely not the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, Gear VR, or Cardboard. Every other VR platform that's available is either quite different, or was out way earlier.

I gave serious consideration to PSVR, but changed my mind after the Kotaku review.  It's competent (for the price) for sit down experiences, but apparently misses tracking too often for VR experiences where you're moving around. Which makes sense given it's camera-based rather than based on other kinds of sensors. I tried PSVR in an EB Games store and was impressed, but that was a sit-down experience. I tried the HTC Vive in a Microsoft Store and was blown away by how good it was for experiences where you're moving around.

Driveclub VR will get a Pro patch.

The great thing about these positive impressions is people are experiencing them on a regular ps4. Which is really good news for those who will get the ps4 pro.

that's good news, as far as I remember I read a week or 2 back that there were no plans for that - maybe Sony NDAd Pro patches for VR games, because they don't want to give the impression the normal PS4 was inadequate for VR games

Thanks for the impressions.

Thank you. Can't wait to read more reviews from other users.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?

Just got home with the core version, downloading some games atm. They didn't have many games yet in the shop. I saw the price for Move was hiked up quite a bit, good thing I already have two.

I have a couple of Moves and a nav controller but I haven't touched them in forever. I've been hearing that if you don't charge them regularly, they quit working. Sucks if that's true.
