Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was the first in Chicago to buy a PSVR headset bundle. It is truly an amazing experience that I have waited over 25 years to experience. Get it now!

I was able to get a hands-on with the headset in the end of June and was very impressed. I tried two games, Eve Valkyrie and Headmaster, a soccer game and both were amazing. I'll let you look up the videos on each, but the device was able to handle everything without any issues. I thought about doing an in depth review, but really, other people have already done that. Basically, the device works great. I wear two different glasses, one minimal and the other larger and I had no issues with either. I was also able to correct the focus to work with my glasses. I like that you wear your own headphones or earbuds. The controller felt natural, the cable was out of the way and didn't bug me. The headset didn't feel to heavy. The only real negative was there was a tiny bit of light that crept through pulling you out of the experience and since the device is running on a 3+ year old system, it can only handle 720p per eye, meaning you can see the pixels and they act as a screen door effect. All in all, it worked amazingly well, especially for the price. I know that the Vive and Rift are better, but this system all in is only $800 and a computer VR system will run you at least $1,500. If you can afford them, get them, but the price of this is well worth it.

PSVR is changing the way we game on console. VR has been available on PC and Mobile but now console gets to shine in the limelight. This VR headset is easy to setup and there are plenty of games to choose from. The bundle also comes with the new PS Camera and the motion controllers. A demo disc and PSVR worlds is included and it plays very smoothly. The resolution is okay but nothing mind shattering. I did experience a bit of nausea playing games where you are constantly moving such as the Luge Race or Driveclub VR, The best games to play for PSVR are the ones that use the motion controller. You feel much more immersed into the VR world. The PSVR will work on any PS4 system and requires a small download. It is extremely fun since your friends can view what you're viewing on the bigi screen and some games allow multiplayer(one player with a headset and another using the dualshock controller). Very good purchase! If you decide to buy have fun!

TLDR at bottom I've only used Playstation VR a couple of times at the time of writing this review, and this is the first time I've experienced any sort of VR. There are quite a few cables and connections required for setup, but the quick start guide made it very quick and easy to set up and once it's set up it's quick and easy to pick up and play. Pretty much any audio headset with a 3.5mm headphone port can be easily plugged into PS VR, it feels very light and comfortable to wear. Mine is set up in a small room that does not quite meet the recommended ranges and distances for the most accurate detection for the camera, yet it still works very good, with a slightly noticeable improvement in larger rooms. I did however, start to experience a form of motion sickness after about 2 hours of consistent gameplay and also noticed that games where your character is constantly moving in all directions like Driveclub vr, Battlezone, and Scavenger's odyssey tended to make me experience motion sickness faster or more frequently. VR motion sickness actually works in reverse to regular motion sickness, so I'd be willing to bet that people will be able to develop a tolerance for it just like I've developed a tolerance to the 3D feature on Nintendo 3DS systems to the point that I often forget I'm viewing in 3D. I feel like the quality of resolution and refresh rate / frame rate could be of better quality as these factors are known to influence VR motion sickness There are already a bunch of games that support Playstation VR and more AAA titles on the way. I'm not saying it's bad or anything, just that I wouldn't personally recommend this to a friend because I think that this is very early VR technology even for Sony, and the price isn't very affordable for a piece of hardware that's just an accessory, but as far as VR Headsets go, this is probably the cheapest decent quality one you will find. I would recommend waiting 6 months to a year for the price to drop a bit, or longer for if Sony releases a better version of this product. TLDR: Excellent product, easy and comfortable to use, Definitely room for improvement but amazing quality for price and how early this technology is, expect motion sickness, but also expect to develop a tolerance to it after continued use, plenty of titles available for PS VR and plenty more to come. Also works fine in small rooms.

I was blown away at how good this was. I was skeptical due to the horsepower of the PS4 not matching top notch gaming pcs that can run the likes of oculus and vive. I had tried a HTC vive and it was great. Again I didn't know if Sony could pull it off. I'm happy to say they did. The level of immersion and detail in the graphics is fantastic. It'll be an experience you won't soon forget. Setup is easy and there is a great demo disc so you can dip your toes Into just about all the launch games to see what you want to play. There are also a number of free games/apps on the PSN. There are multiple VR video apps that let you sit in the middle of a herd of lions or ride a roller coaster at top speed. As for the motion sickness. It's really not bad. If you're a seasoned gamer it won't affect you as much. It didn't affect me as much. You can tell it's there on certain experiences. It wears off the more your mind and body get used to the experience. I recommend this headset and think it stands toe to toe with the more expensive pc vr headsets. Enjoy and game on.

This PSVR bundle comes with the PSVR headset, two move controllers, the PS4 camera, VR Worlds game (a game with a handful of short experiences to show of the VR games), also comes with a demo disc containing around 15 demos to try out. This thing is crazy. It actually works! You can't understand what it looks like or feels like just watching videos of people play this or describe it. You have to experience this for yourself. You are in the game world, the characters look life size and you can reach out and grab things and interact with items in the worlds. The headset is actually really light and sits on your head very well, not weighing down on the bridge of your nose at all. You can wear your glasses inside if you have them. The tech works by tracking lights on the HMD (head mounted display) to track your movement in the game world. This works 99% of the time and there may be some hitches but it usually has to do with you moving out of the cameras sight or bad lighting in your play area. For the price, the current cheapest VR headset on the market, this thing is amazing! Pick it up and invite some friends over and have a blast. This is the first step in changing what gaming will become in the future. Be a part of it!

This is the choice for VR glasses if you have a PS4, its cheaper then the Oculus Rift and no need for a gaming PC. The VR setup is light and very comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. Beware of getting motion sickness after playing for long periods of time. It might not be a problem for everyone. Hopefully there will be more games available soon that will take advantage of the VR glasses on the PS4. But the initial games available are good enough to use the VR glasses.

Put on the PS VR headset and the earbuds and enter a new world. You lose track of where you are in the real world. Move your head around, look above, below and behind you to see a new world and your surroundings. Saw no lag in the world. You may look weird to the real world, but to you, it is totally immersive. Bought Batman ARkham VR. intro starts on top of a building. See the railing in front of you, taker a step forward and look down to th street below. I have a VR headset for my phone and it is good, but not like the PS VR. 2 downsides to the VR, 1 - cables hanging from it, hinders movement, but you shouldn't be walking around alot with this (compared to a phone VR headset), 2- not a lot of games utilize the VR, but i am sure that will change quickly.

So far i have put two hours of play after receiving my bundle this morning. Breaks are definitely needed to avoid any discomfort on your eyes just like any VR. The Playstation VR runs great on this ps4 and can't wait to see the improvements on ps4 pro. There is so much comfort wearing the headset with easy adjustment while already on. I have not tried the Oculus or Vive but will in the near future but for now this VR is the most affordable and well worth it. The instruction booklet is large and easy to read, looks like a childs book haha. Others can watch and listen through the tv as you play. The VR worlds game is wonderful, so far The Heist is the best in my opinion. This is definitely worth the purchase if you cannot afford the others or if you do not have a pc or xbox.

If you have a PS4 and have any interest in VR, you need to get the PSVR. Admittedly, I never once used Vive, Oculus or Samsung VR prior to purchasing PSVR. While I'm a Sony fan, the reason for not buying one of these VR systems was because I didn't have a Samsung phone or VR ready computer. Since I had a PS4, this was my opportunity to enjoy a new videogame experience. First, the set up. While the plethora of cables seem confusing, the set up process is pretty straightforward and simple. The instructions are easy to follow. But there's a big caveat to the setup!!! You are limited by the cables. Not everyone will experience the problems I have, as it depends on your entertainment setup, but I have a TV above a fireplace and have my receiver/PS4/router/modem, etc. on a stand to the side. I ran my wires through the wall, into my crawl space and back up to where the entertainment system is. Because of the short PS4 Camera cable, which should be under or above your TV, I had to physically move my PS4 and processing unit away and plug it straight into my TV. This wasn't a big deal on day one, as I was excited to play PSVR. But it wasn't a long term solution. I ultimately bought a PS4 camera extension cable and place the camera under my TV whenever I want to play PSVR. My other issue regarding setup, which is specific to me, but something to consider, is the requirement for an extra power plug. I literally have an Apple TV, modem, router, Logitech Harmony base, receiver, subwoofer, Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U plugged into my power strip. I had to unplug the Wii U, which is used the least, in order to plug in the processor. Again, you may not have this issue, but given that the PS4 processing unit needs to be in close proximity to your PS4, which needs to be in close proximity to the TV (because of PS4 camera cord shortness) it is something you need to plan for. The other thing to keep in mind is to take your time in setting it up and going through the menu options to optimize the PSVR settings, it will pay off in the end. I jumped right into playing after hooking the cables up and had difficulties with the tracking system. I also had difficulties setting up the PS Move joysticks. It was the first time I've ever used them and I had to figure out how to set them up too. Not difficult, just takes time. Second, experience. I was truly blown away the first time I put the headset on and was immersed in a virtual world. This portion of my review is short because no words can sum up that feeling of true audio and video immersion. You really, truly, have to see it to believe it. It's not perfect, maybe one will argue the Vive or Oculus does it better, but I don't care. It is a fantastic experience, even playing the demos. The only thing I worry about is shortage of games. There's plenty of keep me busy for the time being, but I don't knwo what's coming down the pipeline. All in all, a must have accessory for any videogame enthusiast.

I have used most of the major VR headsets and I couldn't decide which one to get. Before using the PSVR, I had a few weeks experience with the HTC Vive, and about an hour use of the Oculus. Both of those headsets are very high quality, and Vive has amazing room scale and accurate motion controls. I decided to purchase the PSVR based on the price and the upcoming software. I had read many reviews about a great screen, and how fun the games are. All of that is true and this holds up very well to the Vive and the Oculus on those facts alone. The Vive and the Oculus may handle a few things a bit better, but I believe that the PSVR offers and overall experience with VR that can be better than those two options as well, at a much lower price (factoring in the cost of a capable PC to run VR vs. buying a PS4 and PSVR). The PSVR is also much more comfortable to use. There is a slight amount of light leakage from the headset, but while in-game it disappears for me. I was very close to getting the Vive, but after playing the PSVR for a few weeks I've decided this is my best option for VR.

All in all, I believe Sony did a great job implementing VR and making it "affordable" to the masses. This will be one of the hottest items at Christmas and one reason I bought it early. I am really happy with it and so far enjoying it. I want to see more games for it going forward and how they implement the tech. Sony did a great job making everything feel really immersive and doesn't feel like a novelty like the Wii did after a while. The demos, especially The Heist, really did a great job in making you feel like you are a part of the action. The resolution could be a bit better but not a deal breaker. ALl in all, I'm really happy with my purchase.

The PSVR is a very affordable way to fully experience VR. It is very comfortable to wear and doesn't hug your face like other models do. There also seems to be better support and games already available from more major studios. The resolution is a little less than my Oculus, but I really can't tell the difference at all. One of my move controllers didn't work correctly out of the box, but that's just the luck of me, I suppose. If you want to use VR but you don't want to spend over $600, this is the perfect thing to get!

Where to begin??? Sheesh. I guess I'll start with PSVR IS PRETTY FANTASTIC!!! Not perfect but it's a great start to console VR gaming. To get the negative out the way, yes, the resolution is not high. I WAS taken aback by that the first time I tried a PSVR (Batman VR) at a Best Buy, and also the binocular effect was initially a negative however it didn't take long for me to forget about those things because the immersion had me so engulfed and was so impressive to me. That said, PSVR is very well done. Game to game, u may experience different levels of immersion to the point it may cause motion sickness in fast moving games or any other type motion that could trigger it if your prone to that like me but I bought motion sickness pills for first time ever because I DON'T want motion sickness to hinder my enjoyment of these type games. The motion controllers are pretty much 1 to 1 tracking altho I continually have probs with the Job Simulator demo. It's jittery and the tracking is off when trying to reach for some things and your in VR "hands" will "drift", for some reason. I do want to get that game, tho. It's fun, despite those probs. The bundle gives u VR Worlds so there are several games to choose from plus there is a demo disk with numerous games on it. I still have not tried every game or demo. It's a lot and I am an adult with a job and responsibilities so I can't just play this all day, every day. My final statement which I have been saying to everyone is that VR is a true game changer and the future of gaming. If u think u get a sense of things from watching vids of ppl playing or standing from afar watching someone's game on a TV screen, you just can't fathom the "reality" of what's going on until you actually put on that headset for yourself. It will change your life!

The PS VR is excellent and the library of games are growing exponentially. The good: PS VR immerses players into a 3D world , not just in front of you but behind you , under you , above you. Complete 360. The price to buy these things separately is just not cost efficient. Camera = $40-60 VR Worlds = $40 Motion Controllers = $100 PS VR = $400 The bundle for all of that is $500 and if you got your bestbuy credit card 10% off a regular price coupon. The bundle is now $450. The game library is astonishing, usually when somehting is launched the games to choose from are scarce but PS VR came out with over 15 games. Now there are over 30 games available for PS VR in just a month. The bad: Can cause motion sickness. Take breaks, the gamer body might become acclimated if introduced in doses of 15 minutes at a time. Turn a fan on and have water. The initial assembly and configuring can take some time 15-40 minutes. Hint If the screen is not centered you can re calibrate with holding down option button i believe or just cut the PS VR off and on again using the white doggle hanging from the headset. Make sure the headset is facing the camera and still doing the calibration. 6 ft from the camera is the sweet spot. Conclusion: Great system and I use it at a family function and my sister got so scared she fell out her chair trying to get away from something. Get insurance people because I do just for cases like above. If you have any questions just comment and I will respond.

I would recommend that you try it out before buying it. I believe Best Buy had demos every weekend. Check with your local Best Buy. It is the most affordable VR headset out there. The headset is comfortable on your head and for those who wear reading glasses, there is enough room for your glasses. Personally, I can't play it more than 30 min. in one sitting. VR is the future and it's great to give it a shot before investing in such expensive gear.

I want to be around as many people as possible when they try VR for the first time. The PS4 VR is fantastic. Feels like it should cost a lot more. Words cannot explain what you see and feel. For a Gen 1 it's truly remarkable. I'm excited to see how it shrinks in size and uses less cables in years to come. That said, it is very light weight and feels good on my head for the most part.

The graphics are scaled down, but the game immersion is at another level! The headset is very comfortable. My gaming session lasted about 2hrs without any head or neck strain. I was a skeptic of VR until I went to Best Buy and tried the demo! I highly recommend testing the PSVR before buying. You have to experience it for yourself, watching other play is not enough. Some people appear to get sick (luckily I have not had any issues...yet), and other will simply not enjoy the experience. I loved it, and as soon as the demo was over I had to buy it! I have not purchased a game or system at release since the PS2, so I was impressed! The reasons I did not give it 5 stars is: 1. Price is a kind of high, so that will keep many people from purchasing. If you do not have the move controllers or camera, the launch bundle is the better value. 2. Graphics are not what one would expect from PS4 games, but I think this has to do with developers keeping the frames per second (FPS) at a steady and high rate. A higher screen resolution would have been nice too, but then the price would have probably been another $100-200 more expensive. 3. Games that are out at launch are a little...meh. I really enjoyed Arkham VR though!

PSVR is a whole lot of fun. The games work well with a standard PS4 and most should see a boost when played through a PS4 Pro. While it might not look quite as polished as some other VR hardware, it is much more comfortable and much less expensive. Highly recommended.

I was surprised how great the games look pretty good for a console when comparing to the Vive which I've tried first. Yes the PSVR /w PS4 is less powerful, and lower resolution, but the games look and play great. When playing games I see no screen door effects, and graphic look pretty good. The wands tracking can be lost when turned away from the camera. When playing video like on the VR Hulu app or Youtube you get a very noticeable screen door effect. Hopefully they can patch in a filter or enhancement like they do for the games. Sony did a great job providing many free demos and whole games at launch. If you didn't get the demo disc with the day one bundle edition, you can still download them for free from the PSN store. I have no regrets. The price is right for what you get, and Sony provided many great titles, with more to come.
