Interested to see how it goes, definitely not getting one straight away though, will wait and see.

I wonder if chat audio will come through the headset, or if you can use something other than the 'buds' it comes with? I would assume so.

From Frankston. so it was used to do live sex shows and junkie needle sharing parties.

comes with a free bonus of AIDS.

Now now that's a bit harsh ....lol

I'm sure it's fine

 

[Quivorir]

Will you take $40 for it dave123?

Pre-owned move controllers (not the sex toy component one) $21.50 delivered from EB.

I'm definitely in the wait-and-see camp. The technology has potential but unless the software takes full advantage of it then it will simply gather dust. Genuinely concerned at this stage that it could simply end up like motion controls - promising a lot but ultimately forgotten.

And mocked endlessly.

Banderas is back!

Pre ordered just so its reserved at launch if it ends up being something i want. At this stage the technology excites me but we've seen too many gimmicks come and go.

Its got a way to go before I'm willing to part with the remaining $499.95. The software needs to prove its not just another cool gadget to use for a couple of months.

We clarified that Boyes wasn't talking about making money from the whole VR ecosystem. He was, in fact, directly referring to the hardware being sold in the black.

"Every device we've sold since PlayStation 4 has been in the black," Boyes confirmed. This also gives Sony room to bundle other components, like Move and Camera, in the holiday season when PlayStation VR launches in October at $399.

Boyes believes that in the VR race, there is also a last-mover advantage which Sony can take advantage of. "There's an advantage on both sides," he explains. "Being the first one out there, the cutting edge is great. Watching how the market evolves and changes and what works and doesn't is helpful."

Sony will have approximately six months to make minute adjustments to its marketing strategy before PSVR launches. It will benefit from Oculus and HTC making the case for VR as a whole, before it markets a specific, more affordable product to people who may be more accepting of VR.

Yes, using the Cinema mode you can play non VR games.

 

[dave123]

That's good to know .......I've read a fair bit about VR and I had read in the early days it doesn't support non VR games

What exactly is cinema mode ?

no different to Oculus cinema mode, it puts you in a virtual cinema and will have a Cinema screen that can be used to use the PS4 menus and play any PS4 game. it will have 3 zoom levels

 

[dwwaino]

Couldnt pre order until tomorrow night so it sounds like I have missed the launch window. Will have to wait for second release and change my tact: boo, hiss, as if anything worth while will be out at launch

But that won't earn me carrots. Not that I need them at level 4, but last I checked I was ranked 31st at my EB store and now feel compelled to move up.

 

[aussiedude]

Wow are places already sold out, or just online allocations? Must be extremely limited PS4 took a much longer to sell out. some places it was even around E3.

 

[Quivorir]

When I was ordering mine each store only had 1 in stock.

Article raises a couple more concerns I have, using old technology in the Playstation camera and Move controllers that weren't originally intended for VR. The shortcuts make sense to a certain extent but I don't know, it's still a high buy in for it to be half arsed.

Can't be good for the eyes ......I'm sure eye experts will be all over this
