PlayStation VR

O man where to begin with this bad girl... holy crap!... This is my first VR experience I have ever had and it was amazing! I was able to get this for the normal retail price here on amazon for $399.99 for what it said was a brand new unopened PS VR! I couldn't believe it at first but I just figured amazon got in a new shipment. When I got the headset, I could tell right away by the tape on the box that this had been opened already! My first reaction was nope send it back I don't pay for used items or if I do, for sure gunna get a discount! As I went on, I could see that the headset hadn't been used yet or if it was used, someone packaged it up to near perfect packaging. Anyway....... I'm still not too happy about this but this is not something you deduct a star on for the headset! Its not Sony's fault that amazon sold us a used VR! Some people still don't get that through their heads and rate the headset low. Lastly before I get onto the review of the headset.... The PS VR is awesome for its base $399.99 price tag, but I'm sorry to say it is not worth the $500+ price tags I'm seeing some 3rd party sellers sell these for on the market... that's just rediC..... so please just wait for new stock to be shipped in and you will be all good to go! The set up of the PS VR headset was very easy. I didn't even need to look at the instructions and I had it up and running in a good 5 minutes. First game I bought and played was Eagle Flight VR..... and holy crap.... that was a trip lol... It allows you to fly around PAris as an eagle with pretty smooth flight mechanics with no VR sickness at all. I must say it was a good first VR game I tried and I musta did free flight for a good 30 minutes before I was like omg what time is it? lol. I also just sat in the menu of this game for another 20 minutes bc your sitting up on top of a building like 100feet or more up and you actually feel like you are that high off the ground! I climb rocks of 600ft or more and it really felt like I was up on the cliffs edge! all using virtual reality tech it was crazy! After that I tried all the demos on the demo disk that came with the headset and they were sweet too. They showcased all cool VR demos they have and it also allowed you to see all the new "areas" that VR allows you to play in. It was amazing! I got freaked out by a lizard I won in the PS VR room lol... it jumps out at you when you open the bottle lol.. I musta jumped 3 feet and screamed! people in the house were like wtf?! I also played the RE7 demo and that was awesome too lol... got a lil motion sickness when you had to do the turn view but other then that it was awesome! PS4 Pro: I also want to put out there that I don't think you can have a successful VR experience with the PS VR if you are running the stock PS4 that has a GPU tflop of 1.84..... I'm sorry.... I don't know how Sony makes that GPU powerful enough to run efficient VR and to tell ya the truth I don't think it can. The PS4 Pros updgraded GPU with tflop processing power of 4.20 is needed for sure! The more powerful hardware in the Pro that allows "checkered board rendering" is also needed for sure! this processing technique helps assist the GPU in making high quality renders which is required for 4k resolution, HDR, and 120htz VR games that run at 60fps per eye......... so when people and Sony say u can get by with the stock ps4... yea sure u can... but good luck lol.... overtime as the games get better they will require more GPU processing power. When it is all said and done, the PS VR is an awesome piece of technology that has opened up my gaming eyes to a new world of gaming! Yes, this is tech a beta phase for VR, people who buy the headsets now are tech beta testers lol but that's fine with me I have to have the latest technology anyway. I hope we get a massive push in game development from Sony to continue the success of the PS VR. Like I said before, just wait for the price to go back to $399.99 before you get it! It is well worth it at that price but for $500.00 or more.... no it is not worth it! I have only had this for 3 days, but I will continue to update this as I play more VR games. I am happy with my purchase besides the fact it came in an opened box..... and I would recommend this to any gamer out there who needs to experience VR!!

I was in junior high when the Atari home system was introduced and I've owned every PlayStation since they were released. PSVR is as big of a leap forward as the Atari was at its release. A clerk in a Game Stop on Market St. in San Francisco told me last week that they were only getting a couple of these on launch day so I thought this product was going to be on allocation. When I saw in in stock on Amazon, I figured I would grab one and sell it on eBay if it wasn't for me. I'm surprised to see that they are still in stock as I write this a few days later (Oct. 17) so good for you if you are considering buying one - bad for Sony if they were expecting to sell out like an iPhone on release day. I already had a pair of Move Controllers from my PS3 so my barrier to entry was a bit lower. I decided to start out with Playstation VR WORLDS - PlayStation VR [Digital Code ] since it was 5 mini games in one. I played Ocean Dive first and was blown away by the environmentally immersive experience. Your are in a dive cage where you can look all around you, including up and down. You can even put your head between the bars for a different point of view. It had an animated feel to it, but so does every game you play on your TV. It was amazing and within 15 minutes, I knew my VR was not going to be for sale on eBay. Also in VR Worlds is London Heist which illustrates the potential of interactive, first person shooter games. With the Move Controllers, you can hold a pistol in any orientation including aiming down the barrel of a pistol and line up the forward and rear sights in 3D for an accurate shot. You interact with a number of items in the environment and quickly become used to the relationship between your actions on the Move controllers and the objects in the environment, (such as inserting a new magazine into your pistol. In one (of the two) fighting scenes of the story, you're riding in a car. You can open the car door, look behind you, and fire at the opponents coming up behind your car. My favorite game in Worlds was Danger Ball, which is kind of strange because it was the least realistic of the five games and only used my head to control a paddle in 3D pong vs. the computer. While all of the 5 games give the player all around views of the environments, the perceptible depth of the 3D in this game was remarkable. When you look at the gameplay on a TV while someone else is playing, any of the games appear to be totally unremarkable, so don't judge whether or not to purchase the headset by game previews on you computer or even watching someone else play. You need to try it for yourself to understand the experience. Or you can watch the 1997 Michael Douglas - Demi Moore movie Disclosure to get a feel of what a multi-million dollar VR system was imagined to be for about $1000 out of your pocket (PS4 Pro $400, VR Headset $400, Camera $60, Move Controllers $100), plus games. I also purchased Eve: Valkyrie - PlayStation VR [Digital Code ]. I haven't had a chance to play it, but my godson did and said it was good. However, I saw that he went back to London Heist after a while. About the headset itself, the construction is very good, far better than strapping your Samsung phone to your face. It is comfortable for a long period of wear, very adjustable and the weight distribution is good. There are no noticeable points of pressure on your head, and no weight borne by your face below the forehead - just the rubber gaskets around the eyes and nose to keep ambient light out. When you are on menu screens, you can see the pixels, unlike an iPhone Retina screen, but during game play you don't notice them at all. The field of view does not seem constrained although it is a bit less than your peripheral vision would pick up in the real world. However, everybody's vision degrades at the periphery so the value of a few more degrees of visibility would not be that high anyway. The outstanding question I have is, 'what does the future hold for this platform?' I have a first gen PS4. While my PS3 fan always sounded like it was trying to make the unit levitate, I had never heard the PS4 fan breaking a sweat while playing COD or other high resource consuming games. With the VR games, the console fan was going at what seemed to be full speed even though the picture on the TV screen was was way down res'd and the games I was playing were not terribly complex (Ocean Dive is not interactive, Danger Ball is mostly a bunch of polygons, although London Heist has a lot going on from a resource requirements standpoint). That makes me wonder, how far can a gen 1 PS4 go with VR, especially in light of the upcoming release of the PS4 Pro. I have the means to upgrade to the Pro if the value is there so if playing the inevitable release of COD-VR requires it, I'll probably do so.

Very cool piece of hardware, wish I knew how to calibrate the controls

何回説明書通りしてもVRにイヤホン挿す場所からイヤホン挿してもイヤホンから音が出ずテレビの方だけ音が出て困ってます どうすればイヤホンから音がでますか？

El producto excedio mis expectativas pues la calidad de las imagenes y el nivel de inmersion es impresionante. La relacion entre valor y precio es muy conveniente y el Disco que trae con demos es fantastico y en algunos se pueden jugar algunos niveles.

La verdad si vale la pena el alto precio, tengan en cuenta que todavía tienen que comprar la cámara y los controles Move. La definición no es como una tele 4k pero logra el cometido. Sientes realmente que estas dentro del juego. Bastantes demos y juegos (solo en la PSstore americana) Lo malo: Bastantes cables si ya tienes un disco duro necesitas un USB Hub forzosamente para conectar controles y el VR Necesitas calibrarlo muy bien para evitar tener problemas. Muchos cables y al momento de tener el visor puesto y los audífonos sientes miedo de no jalar algún cable al moverte. En mexico en la PSstore no existen actualmente juegos para descargar tienes que hacer una cuenta de estados unidos para accesar a ellos. Ningún juego "premium" mas que Resident Evil 7 Finalmente concluyo que si vale la pena aunque termines mareado los primeros días es una experiencia muy diferente y divertida.

Very good condition! All work!
