You're welcome! If you want some Wayward Sky or Driveclub VR we have footage from PSX as well (though I hope Driveclub VR isn't lost to the abyss).

In fact, has anyone heard anything definitive about the fate of Driveclub VR?

I have a psvr preorder and my brand new t80 is waiting. They better have a drive club vr!

With Evolution closed and incorporated to Codemasters, Driveclub VR should be dead.

Great to see a lot of people enjoying PSVR despite not being sure about it before.

Lots of people liking the headset design, with it being light, very comfortable and easy to put on / take off, many people seem to be saying its the better than Rift and Vive in that respect.

The ease of use / plug and play nature of it is also in its favour, along with it being cheaper seems to say that Sony got a lot right with PSVR and looks like it should be a very popular VR option.

I think I might go check this out on Friday, but it starts at 5pm and I worry that I'll drive 30+ minutes over there in traffic just to find a line. I think I want to try the Battle Zone demo.

I've been waiting patiently for the canadian locations and dates to come out. Have a half day Friday so hoping it shows up at the Best Buy near Eaton Centre on that day.

Yeah, it should basically say "every weekend" or something to that effect, since they are expanding weekly while having relatively similar time frames per location.

Shame about Driveclub VR being in potential shambles. I get Evo is closed, but I hope it's possible to see their work live on in some way, at least until we see their Codemasters creation.

I plan to try on Sunday. I'd get there with just an hour left if I went tomorrow, and I have no idea how long of a line there will be.

So when I checked the finder the day it was posted, a Best Buy near me was on the list. Now when I check it, it's not on there...

There is one Best Buy near me that has it. Despite having zero interest, I will probably go check it out.

I guess I shouldn't say zero interest since I'm going.

Also, if the PS VR Finder Website doesn't have your store and it did before, check Best Buy or Gamestop Here:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/playstation-vr/pcmcat748301781160.c?id=pcmcat748301781160&pageType=REDIRECT&issolr=1&searchRedirect=ps+VR

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/pages/events/PSVR-Demo/

These still show dates for this weekend that the PS VR website does not. Plus you can call ahead to the stores and find out that way. My Gamestop which is not on the PS VR website for this weekend is indeed showing it after I called them yesterday.

Some stores have not yet received their VR setups, just FYI. The Best Buy off Curtner, for example, is listed on the PSVR trial map for today but they said next week they will have it. The Best Buy on Blossom Hill will be getting it today, but around 5pm according to BB site (and 3:30pm according to PSVR trial site). A bit of a mess, but it's because PS reps have to come and install / train how to demo the headset and such.

My local site should be open in a few hours. We don't need reservations or anything, right?

Try to show up an hour early and grab a ticket. The demo lasts 10-15 minutes so they can only show so many people, thus tickets for certain time-slots (hourly?) happen.

Yea, the Best Buy in Sterling, VA is listed to get it today (Best Buy site says 5 pm and PSVR site says 3:30 pm) but I called and they said they don't have it and don't know when they're getting it.

I'm half tempted to stop by after work anyways just to see if the person I talked to misspoke.

UPDATE: Glad I stopped by. They have the demo! Waiting in line now.

The bestbuy in river dale Utah said that their vendor isn't their yet so they don't know if they are getting theirs today. Even tho is says on the PSX websites that they are going to have demos at 3:30 today. Hopefully they fix it but seems like this was planned the best
