    I was happy to find this product on release date. Being an early adopter of the new product I was worried about quality and motion sickness from using VR. I was surprised with the quality and ease of set up and use. My wife and I play Playstation VR on almost a daily basis and the included game VR Worlds is the regular game we play how ever a lot of the titles at release are worth playing.

    We got the Playstation VR and are definitely so happy with it. We loved the shark encounter and the London Heist! Both show what a VR experience should be like. Everything is so immersive and done so well. We even had my parents try it and they were blown away! I would highly recommend the Playstation VR and am so looking forward to the new games that will be developed for this system!

    It's comfortable and somewhat affordable with the only downside being the low resolution of the screen.

    This device is absolutely amazing. I purchased it at a midnight event on launch day. The headset is very comfortable, sturdy and well-made. The visual effect is really stunning and can't be adequately conveyed by review videos - you really have to experience it for yourself to understand it. I did appreciate the demo disk that came with the headset - it gives you a nice overview of the games/experiences available and lets you get a feel for what the PS VR can do. Highlights include Job Simulator, Thumper, Rez Infinite and Wayward Sky. This particular bundle is probably the best deal you can get on a full system setup (minus, obviously, the PS4) - even purchasing the additional components used, it is hard to beat the price of this package which gives you all new Move controllers and Camera. They throw in PS VR worlds as well, but I have yet to unwrap that game yet as I've been so interested in the other offerings. Minor drawbacks are tracking issues with the Move controllers, but really other than a little minor shaking in the hands it's not noticeable in regular play, and it's totally worth a little jitter to have the immersion of using your hands independently in the game. The kit is definitely expensive, but you get quite a bit for your money and it's only going to get better from here. Definitely recommended.

    i admit i was once skeptical about this great unknown of virtual reality. with nothing to compare this to, only a VR display demo at the store a month before its release, im glad with the decision i made. as with any new system though, they need to come out with games upon hearing a massive amount of developers are working with PSVR, i thought it was worth the risk.

    Great for VR applications on PS4. Great quality, comfort and extremely responsive that puts you in another world. Not as good as a personal screen, though initially it's like being in your personal theater. As you watch content or play non VR games the screen begin's to drift to the left. You'll only realize it's happening over some time when your head is turned all the way to the left trying to stay center.

    Very immersive experience

    This is a very immersive experience with minimum hardware investment when compared to the PC VR hardware. Setup is easy but to get the HDMI display to work properly for both the headset and TV is tricky. Since the processor unit's HDMI passthru cannot support HDR, you have to make sure you do not have anything in your signal path from the PU to TV with HDR enabled. I have mine connected to a Yamaha AV receiver into the TV with 4K HDR (4:4:2) enabled and I cannot get the TV to display the PS4 picture at all. Once I disabled 4:4:2 support, everything worked fine. The included VR World is a very good intro disc to VR and the free downloadable VR demo will let you decide what to buy next. Overall, a good buy but it will be a pain once I get my PS4 Pro and start playing 4K HDR games, I will need to disconnect the PSVR and re-enable HDR support every time I want to play PS4 HDR game instead of VR games.

    I was leary at first of any VR set. I.E the quality,pixels,game,movie options, comfort of wear,use,any type of eyestrain etc..All those worries were quickly dismissed in my first five minute intro game!! Especially when I was physically reaching out to"touch" the objects infront of me.!Mind blowing experience.Im anxious to see the next level of Vr

    My son has been dying for the Playstation VR Launch Bundle since it first came out, and when we tried a demo at Best Buy, we were completely hooked. Luge, Ocean Descent (that shark!), and Rush of Blood were the first things we tried, and they are all so immersive, it was like a completely new, fresh, unique gaming experience. Great job, Sony!

    The experience you feel when you are put directly inside the game world is just something you have to experience yourself to really understand what words lack to describe so if you're a gamer I highly recommend it the games that are out now for the system are a bit short but it's exciting to see the potential that this system has and only makes me wonder how it will change the world of gaming

    I think this is a stepping stone towards how the whole console industry is going to be shaped around. I actually am really looking forward to VR movies, the games are fun, graphics are good. I honestly did not notice any difference between original ps4,ps4slim, and ps4 pro. With that being said for someone that has a ton of time I can see this being absolutely awesome. I'm a single father, and a mortgage underwriter so I honestly used it for 2 weeks, and the effort of getting everything set up honestly outweighs just playing in 4k( yes I know checker-boarded.) It blows everyone of my friends minds how cool it is, but I'm to the point where I'd rather sit down and play a game. Not have to strap anything onto my head, and I despise the wand things. * NOTE TO SONY PLEASE ADD A D PAD ON THESE CONTROLLERS. For someone who has a lot of free time definitely worth it, but keep in mind to get in the door you really need a 4k TV that supports full HDR. So it's not cheap to get into (PC gamine is cheaper honestly.) I just buy everything new, because I'm a tech junkie. I probably will give this to a friend as I don't see myself using it, but it is an awesome product.

    The concept of this device is cool...but there needs to be a better mechanism for sound. Headset should've contained some type of built in headphones instead of a wired 1-ear bud or your own option. Also, the charging mechanism needs much improvement so that you do not need separate wires for each device. Wish there was a larger selection of games as well.

    I preordered this and received it on the release date. It is incredible. You're in the game. You're not playing the game, you're literally in the game. The bundle came with VR World, and I bought the Batman game and the game where you're an eagle. We love this and look forward to more and more titles for it.

    This has everything you need to get started. The PS VR Worlds game is a great set of games to demo off this new hardware. I show all of my friends the VR headset using the Deep Sea Diving and the London Heist. If you don't have a PS Camera and the PS Move sticks, this is a great bundle at a great price.

    I was cautious to purchase, but after reading all the great comments and reviews it convinced me to buy and I have no regrets. Gaming is just not the same anymore not in VR. You feel the virtual world around you and it will be difficult to put down. Graphics could be better but PSVR is still new and I can't wait to see whats in store for the future.

    Everyone that has used my PlayStation VR headset had loved it. Lots of room for version 2 to improve on down the road, but still really fun to use. The screen door effect looks like if you place your face on the window screen and look outside. If you look at the screen you can see it but if you enjoy the view in the distance it seems to disappear.

    I camped out on launch day for Playstation VR and have not been disappointed in the past few months. New games are coming in slowly, but the level of immersion and excitement of putting on VR is still there. Highly recommended as you will likely never go back to non-VR games if you had a choice!
