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 have been gaming off and on since the original Pong back in the 70's. So I have just a bit of experience. I have a 3D TV, and was one who actually liked some of the 3D Games, and move controllers. I had a big interest in VR, but didn't want to plunk down the cash for PC VR headsets. This just blows traditional 3D gaming out of the water. It was easy to hook up, I only wish the PS4 had a USB port in the back. The included instructions are easy to follow, so I was up and running in a few minutes. The PS4 will detect the headset and give instructions on how to adjust and put on your head. I wear corrective lenses just for reading, or seeing small things close up, and they worked good enough. A little bit of light came in through the sides, but not that distracting since I don't have extremely bright light in the man cave. It is a bummer it's not wireless, maybe next generation? But once I got the demo disc booted up and into the menu I was like blown away. This was 3D gaming! Your instinct is to reach out and try to touch the menu. The first demo I tried was Until Dawn: Rush of Blood - very cool demo, I won't describe the game too much, but it's basically like riding in a cart in a haunted house attraction at an amusement park, it's VERY convincing that you're on a cart, so much so my heart started to race like I was actually on a ride. The next thing I tried was the demo of VR Worlds, again the menu for the game itself was pretty cool, with a spinning globe, themed for each area, and you can interact with it using your PS4 controller. I tried the Ocean Descent demo, standing up, again blown away. So much so that I actually got on my computer and ordered the full version from Amazon since the disc is cheaper here with my Prime discount. The last PS VR demo I tried was the Invasion demo, a cute little demo, doubt I would pay for the game. I will say this game looked a little grainy. Perhaps due to the brighter environment you're in shows the resolution limitations. Finally I fired up Borderlands 2, since that's what my friend and I have been playing, the screen is a simulated 2D screen, not worth playing this way, since to see things like the map clearly you have to actually move your head to bring it into focus. It is seriously cool, I played in short sessions, giving my eyes a break, it will take a little bit to get used to. It did not make me feel motion sick, but your mind truly gets a sensation of moving. I truly hope version 2 in a few years has a higher resolution, and is wireless. I don't think I would want to game 100% of the time in a VR format, but for some wow factor this really has it for me.

Simplemente excelente! Llego mucho antes de lo esperado y todo perfecto. La jugabilidad es genial, es muy comodo y realmente vale la pena. En mi opinion algunos juegos son muy cortos, esperemos que mas adelante saquen grandes juegos para este dispositivo.

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？

Works like it should, arrived on time

El efecto VR es casi perfecto, algunos problemas menores para obtener el enfoque perfecto y algo de lata para hacer recalibraciones durante los juegos pero en general está bien, no tiene lag perceptible y la pantalla AMOLED tiene negros perfectos. Los mareos fueron pocos, sólo al inicio de algunos juegos en lo q el cerebro se acostumbra, o también sientes mareos si haces cosas raras como atravesar paredes, ahí sí el cerebro no sabe q está pasando y marea bastante, recomiendo cerrar los ojos al atravesar paredes, los mareos disminuyen al utilizarlo, entre más se use menos mareos. La fatiga es muy baja, superando lo de los mareos y bajando el brillo al 80% pude tener sesiones de 3-4 horas sin problemas, tiene mucho menos fatiga q ver una pelicula 3d en el cine. La pantalla es 1080p pero al estar tan cerca se ve un tanto pixeleado, los juegos caricaturescos se ven muy bien pero los juegos con gráficos realistas sí les afecta bastante q se vea pixeleado, para q tengan una idea de lo q hablo coloquense a 20-30 cm de una tv 1080p de 50 pulgadas. Los oculus y vive apenas tienen un 30 % más píxeles por lo q no creo q mejore mucho el tema del pixeleado en PC, así q tal vez convenga más gastar en los psvr en esta primera generación de VR y conformarse con juegos más sencillos, es decir, Dirt Rally y Assetto Corsa se ven hermosos pero q caso tiene gastarse una millonada para jugarlos pixeleados en VR en una PC de millonarios. Lo interesante de esta primera generación de VR es que se demuestra q el efecto VR es muy bueno y funciona, es decir, realmente sientes q estás allí, el lag es imperceptible, creo q realmente es el futuro porque sólo tienen q mejorar la resolución y ya, sería perfecto, No solo los juegos se ven bien en VR, sino que también incluye un modo cinemático, ver películas así es genial, pude ver Gravity simulando ver una IMAX donde solo puedes ver como el 50% de la pantalla y tienes q estar volteando para todos lados y fue algo realmente impresionante, aquí tambien le afecta la baja resolución pero el efecto IMAX es muy agradable. Creo q la VR llegó para quedarse, tiene detalles menores en obtener el enfoque perfecto y problemas de calibración, su principal punto débil es la baja resolución pero el efecto VR está implementado a la perfección, ojalá no tarden mucho en sacar un PSVR con 4k para corregir el tema del pixeleado, así sería perfecto.
