My husband bought this for himself out of his tax refund and boy he has fallen in love with it! At first he got motion sicknesses but that’s to be expected. He’s use to playing it now and loves every second of it. I tried it once but didn’t really play it. No mans sky looks amazing with it.
He just looks like a doofus playing it XD lol

I'm having a lot of fun with PSVR. I've already played through Blood & Truth which was a great title (people who grew up playing Goldeneye and arcade games like Time Crisis will really enjoy this), and now I'm playing Resident Evil Biohazard. I'm looking forward to playing more games (something lighthearted after RE7 lol - maybe Space Channel 5). It's still remarkable to me every time when I load up a game - to look up and down and turn around and be fully immersed.
I can also see how this tech has room for growth. There is a slight sense of tunnel vision, but the image basically fills your perspective. And I think future iterations will see the image become sharper. But for a home VR console it's really everything I could have hoped for.

If you've ever wanted to get a look into VR, this is your first stop. Affordable and a nice library of games to choose from. Setup is simple and doesn't take too much effort. The resolution is not perfect, but it looks good. I wear glasses and the headset for fine. I had no fogging issues. However, I did have to return mine, due to motion sickness after a while of use. I will not hold that against the PS4 VR though. Great product, for the cost (Black Friday Deals!).

So I mostly got this because I wanted to play Beat Saber. It's a lot of fun. Blood and Truth and the Golf game are decent, though Blood and Truth really caught my attention.
At the sale price, it was a really good deal with the move controllers and the PSVR library has come along quite some ways, with plenty of experiences across all genres at great price points.
The VR is decent. It isn't the best out there, but it's a great value to performance ratio. Working with a PS4/PS4 Pro console is a bonus as you don't need to fret over matching up graphics cards with the right HDMI ports, etc.
A couple of big warnings for Christmas Present purchasers:
* There is a LOT of wiring. It took me about 45 minutes to hook up including rearranging my entertainment center.
* The Move Controllers are 100% dead. You'll need to charge them first. The bundle does not include any USB cables for charging. The one micro USB cable in the bundle is for the box you'll be hooking up to the PS4. Make sure you have charging cables! The controllers are in the smaller of the two boxes in the bundle.
While the wiring isn't a big deal, the uncharged Move controllers is a Christmas Day tragedy waiting to happen, so make sure to sneak them off to work and give them a good 8 hour charge before you wrap it up for Christmas.

Ever since the PSVR launched I always had my eye on it but due to the huge price tag i never felt like i could justify buying it. When time passed the price tag, great bundles were launched including a lot of normally expensive accessories. This bundle in particular not only includes blood & truth is an amazing game but also the bundle includes both move controllers. I must say I had idea what I was missing out on the vr experience is superb and the platform has a pretty good amount of great exclusive games, blood & truth, moss, far point, astro bot etc, I dont regret in any way this purchase on the contrary the psvr takes the playstation experience to a whole new level.

The Next Giant Leap for Home Gaming

VR has been a viewed as a silly gimmick within the video game community for many years now. Until recently, when VR was brought up in a conversation, chances are everyone's first thoughts were of the awful VirtualBoy. I've been paying attention to the huge steps VR has made, and I finally decided to pull the trigger on this particular PSVR bundle. I couldn't be much happier. Trying virtual reality gaming for the first time ever, within my own home no less, was an awe-inspiring moment for me. VR is no longer a gimmick but now it's own special experience. Even with a relatively small library of VR games, there are still enough titles to keep you enthralled. One of the reasons I chose this bundle was because it includes the Move controllers which are being utilized more and more, so be sure to get them as well so you can enjoy the full experience. There're definitely comfort issues that might ruin one's enjoyment. While I don't suffer from motion sickness, I do have a big head, and wearing the VR helmet can give me a headache after a while. I also wear glasses, but thankfully the visor can be adjusted forward so that your lenses are being smushed into your eyeballs.
I could go on and on, but just trust me when I say the time to invest in VR gaming is now. Kinks have been worked out, the amount of VR games have increased, and the support VR is constantly growing. It's exciting to see the games that are on the horizon, especially from indie developers.

VR is just so cool

This set comes with the gen. 2 VR headset, which is lighter and more comfortable than the gen. 1 headset, but you can't get the lenses as close as the gen. 1 headset. This gives the view a very slight blur or makes it fuzzy and you see more of your real environment under the headset. After about a minute, you get used to the blur and really only notice the glow of the motion controllers if you bring them close to your body.
Aside from that, VR is just so cool. Blood & Truth really pushes the boundry of what you can do in VR. Climbing ladders, dual weapons, car chases, and picking locks. You can even teat your skills at trashcan basketball. Just awesome!
Didn't really do much with the VR golf game. Sorry. Too busy on this covert mission.
The system could cost less.

We got this to have something to do during quarantine and we have Been having a ball! Golf came with the unit and I have truly developed a love for the game by playing with the VR. It is so realistic. Prior to playing this I didn’t know how scoring worked, what par was, bogeys, nothing! Now because of playing this I began to read and even watch on tv so I could get the right swing. I also love that you can download games and try the before you buy. Having this ps4VR has actually brought our family together with lots of fun and laughs during this time of being stuck in the house. You need a good amount of space to move around and some games may cause you to get dizzy or off balance so a chair might be useful (especially if you’re older like me) Everything together is Very expensive but if you can afford it it really cool

VR on Playstation is pretty cool. Great new experience to play games. I wish there were more AAA titles to chose from. But still plenty on content for VR. Easy to set up. My only complaint would be all the wires. A bit pricey.

This vr set has completely changed the gaming world for me. The vr experience is completely immersive, and is fun for everyone to play. It easily becomes the center of discussion, and never fails to surprise you. There are many steps to plugging in the vr headset and cords to your ps4. These steps are easily done by looking through the handbook that comes along with the set. This vr set requires a certain amount of room for gameplay, and may require supervision for those under a certain age limit because of the movements made throughout gameplay. I highly recommend this system for those who can afford it.

I'm very impressed with this VR system. It's a good price, comfortable fit and immersive experience. My wife had to actually remove the helmet in a game where people were shooting at her because it was a bit too real! I've played a number of games across genres, including the sample pack. Really liked them all. Flight games are particularly remarkable- buy the flight stick and you'll feel like you're in the cockpit flying the real thing. Blood & Truth was a nice bonus with the system. I purchased the gun controller and had a blast!! The only complaint I could possibly have is it can be tricky to secure the helmet in just the right position, but, once you do, it's amazing. Definitely worth the money for a change in play and to experience VR.

The Gateway to VR

What can I say? I know it's something you really have to play before you can give a reasonable review, but it's a good set, comes with everything you need to set it up. It's fairly easy to set up and the games included are solid. Everybody's Golf VR has to be one of the better golf games I've played and it's not an easy game despite being widely accessible. Blood and Truth is a London Heist done right and it really makes you feel like you're in a spy thriller. The headset is comfortable, the earbuds are okay but changeable, and the depth effect on 3D blurays and VR games is unmatchable. I would recommend this to anyone with a PS4 who is on the fence about VR. Grab one and don't look back.

This is the best accessory for gaming I've ever bought. It's amazing! Beat Saber and BoxVR are my new fitness regimens. Skyrim and Borderlands VR are new lands to explore and full of adventures. Several other games are also remarkable. Blood and Truth looks amazing although it's not really my kind of game, and I am not too into golf but one of my kids enjoys it. Ease yourself into this as you can experience some motion sickness depending on the environment. So much fun! Not the nausea, but you know what I mean...

I had been holding off on VR for a while because I heard that Sony's offering hadn't been as good as some of the others. I've played a few different VR systems, including Oculus and while the specs on PSVR may not technically be quite as good, the ease of use, low entry cost (especially with the Black Friday deal) and awesome selection of games make it a winner in my book. Very happy with the quality and experience.

For an add-on to a PS4 this is a good value. It is easy to hookup and to get playing quickly. If you have never played in VR before, be warned that you may get motion sick. Blood & Truth, the game that came in the bundle, made me sick after about 15 mins of play time. My younger sons lasted much longer than me, but also complained about some sickness. This is not lowering my overall rating since it is a side effect of VR and would happen regardless of what system I was playing on.
