Looks like the press is getting it now. Is there an embargo on PS VR stuff? Waiting on Giant Bomb's VRodeo on this.

Ugh I still have no idea whether to keep my pre order or not. These videos aren'the helping. How much space in the room does this require?

I'm telling you man, if there were some interesting games I'd be all over keeping my preorder. But I'm leaning towards canceling since I'd probably just get Rigs and $500+ is too expensive for just one game.
No but you can pay it off early (for example, if you just got paid) using the gift balance top up thing.
Sadly they've hiked it to £15 now (presumably in anticipation of VR owners demand).
Fuck. So I can't use my gold headphones with psvr? I am forced to use the earbuds for audio?

I had been looking forward to the PSVR since the pre-orders went live as I don't have a PC capable of OR or Vive, but I just cancelled my pre-order as I don't really see much I'd want to play other than Driveclub and Rigs. Considering it is almost $800 here (CDN), I think I'll wait it out to see how it does and pick it up later.

You can use any headphones you want but you will have to use a cable to plug them in directly to the PS VR. You can't use them wirelessly through the dongle, to my knowledge.

Yeah, just looked it up. I had no idea.
Now that these are starting to show up, can anyone confirm whether the breakaway box needs to be connected (via USB) to the PS4 at all times, even when not using VR, or will the breakaway box pass through the HDMI when not connected?
If/when I do get a PSVR, I'd prefer to not have the USB connected all the time thanks to Sony not having rear USB ports on the PS4 (I understand the Pro fixes this though).

Agreed.
yeah, made me chuckle too - he get's a bit jumpy when she starts using the knife lol
You won't have to but it'll be a faff each time so whilst ugly (until Pro) it's the easiest solution. What I do is have a one lead with a right angle plug that comes out of the front - the lead goes off to a USB hub where all the uglyness lives.
Yeah, I had considered using a right angle plug but just figured it would also be easy enough to keep it disconnected until I was going to use it.

Pro will still require the PSVR breakout box. The rumours about Pro not requiring it were just that.
I was talking about the USB being in the back of the Pro and hiding the uglyness of a USB dangling out of the front of your PS4
Dang. Was hoping I didn't need to bother with the audio dongle on the cord with bluetooth headphones. Haven't kept up with PSVR news much, so I got a little excited when IGN said it wasn't needed. This was also both the first and last time in years that I have clicked and will give clicks to IGN for that bit of naive reporting.
If you cancel you'll always be the guy who was late to the VR party and you only get to enjoy it after a lot of people already had their first VR experience.
You need to use the dongle to get the 3D audio, unfortunately it seems its the only way they could do it

Not sure if this was mentioned. Looks like the US has more content on the demo disk as well:

We've known this for awhile
Not sure if you can watch apps in the "cinematic" mode but both Netflix and Hulu have VR apps. I would be surprised if it didn't at least eventually make it's way to PSVR seeing as they are both on Gear VR as well.
It looks like the lights were out on the headset. That's why it wasn't head tracking. It normally does. I'm not sure if that was a mode or just broken that you played.

Ah, sorry about that. Just saw this at work this morning and wasn't sure.
Why would anyone else's first experience be any concern of mine? If/when I get a PSVR, it will be no different than if I kept the pre-order for day one. Other than possibly getting a better deal and/or having more games to choose from.

Hmmm, I am suddenly having second thoughts on whether to get a PSVR or to get a PS4 Pro.
PS4 Pro all the way man if you have a capable 4k tv. That is what i'm choosing anyway. Although i'll get to experience VR from a friend

Why not both?
I could see in my activity feed that Brad Shomaker was playing PSVR games all day yesterday. So, we know that they have theirs.

I only have a regular plasma TV. Though I do intend to upgrade once the TVs come down in price.
I have £340 of credit at game from trading in my old phone. I would have considered getting both if they did a bundle of some kind at a discount.
If I were to get the Pro, I would trade in my current PS4 against it and probably get a couple of games.

Yeah man, you should totally go for marginally better graphics over a whole new way to experience video games.

Almost certainly on launch. They'll buy every game as always I imagine and those are only available on release.
Yup, I'm in canada and between this launch bundle and the PS4 pro I'm spending almost 1300$ CDN. Not to mention all the games coming out in next couple months that I'll be buying.Ah fuck, I'm back in!!!
Well done PlayStation and your letting people release videos of themselves opening a box made out of paper.
EDIT:
Can't believe I'm spending £700 on PlayStation hardware in the next two months that isn't even on PlayStation 5.
Why do people think being rough and having this "I don't give a shit I'll just throw shit away" attitude during unboxings looks cool? What a mess, seriously.

So essentially you can go one now and the other later, I'd go PS VR now and pro later when the system is slightly more mature.

It will be very interesting to see how well VR does for Consoles and PCs, I want to develop VR Games in the future.

I am tempted to wait and see the impressions of both. It has been a bit unclear what sort of gains the Pro would achieve when outputting to a regular HD tv.

Wasn't Kinect a new way to experience games, too?
It's probably an unpopular thing to say, but what makes us so sure that this isn't a gimmick? PC VR development, by all accounts, has slowed since its initial hype-laden release.
I have a preorder for a launch bundle, but given the launch software, I'm struggling to see the longevity of any of the titles that have been announced. For my money, the tech is really impressive, but when does it translate from an immersive parlor trick experience into a full fledged game?
I'm leaning toward the pro, even with a lowly 1080p plasma.
I'll be honest, a new experince > improved performance for me any day of the week
Game are doing a trade in on Pro (plus 5 games - any cheap ones, no FIFA) and you get the Pro for £175, if you pre-order the PSVR you get £5 of points...sooo....if you can stretch to £170 (or save over the month) you could get both
If someone doesn't enjoy the PSVR then sell on, there's a month between launches so plenty of time to test and sell on prior to Pro being launched.
