A great step towards the future
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.PSVR easily tricks your mind/senses and immerses yourself into a world of fantasy. One of the best VRs out there. I've tired Samsung Gear VR, Oculus Rift, & HTV vive. Definitely the best. Only wish they would make a camera with tracking as detailed as the Kinnect and ditch the move controls.

Just as fun as expexted
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Outstanding product and comfortable to wear. It took some time to get used to some of the motion sickness from the 3D vr movement. To be expexted. Natural Dramamine (ginger) helped a lot. I'm playing Eve Valkyrie like a champ. Only downside is the resolution isn't as great as regular games.

Awesome
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never thought vr would be good but this is a great vr headset to get. Not quite as hi res as the vive or oculus but it's super comfortable and vr needs to be tried to understand it. Super glad I bought this.

Great Virtual Reality Simulator
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Luckily happened upon this at my local store, bought it on impulse and haven't been disappointed yet. Great build quality and gaming experience. Only wish that it was wireless but hey VR is in its infancy.

Good VR supplement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great VR experience, and a bit more economical than the stand alone VRs out there since most on my gaming is still done on console rather than VR - Star Wars Battlefront and Resident Evil 7 are must tries

Great product.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is by far the best virtual reality. It's on the expensive side but it's well worth. Also, I was able to get the PS4 camera for free with the purchase. I'm extremely happy with this purchase.

Incredible!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Originally I thought this was just a fad but I can really see this taking off. It will blow your mind the first time you try it. Only drawback was I have felt a little motion sickness after using it.

Loving it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this unit. It's a great VR experience and the most affordable one when compared to the Oculus and HTC. The only complain I have is that there are not enough good games for it as of now. There are a few VR games available but nothing great. This is a first generation unit so don't expect perfection, because is not perfect, but it's an unreal experience for now. I would recommend giving it a try at the store first since it can cause headaches and nausea. Myself I can't play racing games in it since I got really sick from playing Driveclub, which has a race included in the sample disc that comes with the unit. I highly recommend this unit if you're passionate about VR, if not I would wait.

Wow!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The PS VR headset is much better than I expected! Comfortable to wear, games look amazing, lots of fun. I can only play a short time because I get a bit dizzy from it, but that's me not the headset.

worth the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the VR headset is worth the money, .if you can find the launch bundle get that, if not just buy the regular headset. make sure you have the PS camera. VR is the future of gaming. not only can the VR headset be used for gaming, but you can watch movies and play regular PS4 games. the VR headset will simulate a 225 inch screen ( watching you very own movie screen) when not being used for VR games. you can do away with hooking a tv up to the PS4

Not the Vive/Oculus but helps VR go mainstream
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I own a Google Cardboard, HTC Vive, and now the PSVR (probably going to get Google Daydream as well)...honestly I just love new tech and VR is what gamers dream about. The PSVR is alright, the resolution can be a problem especially on lower quality apps (games are less noticeable), but you barely notice the resolution once in a game, however sometimes you need to be looking in the right way to see it without a blur... (think Nintendo 3DS, old not New). Other than that, great item and helps move VR mainstream as Oculus and Vive are expensive and require expensive hardware.

Awesome product but not there yet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The VR is very immersive and an amazing experience. However, it just feels like the tech is not there yet. The picture quality is slightly fuzzy, motions n sickness can occur, and there are way too many wires. Other brands have already started integrating wireless in their headsets. In my opinion this is a $400 beta test for a more advanced product that will hit market in the future.

Not Used With PS4 Yet, But!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was able to connect to several HDMI devices. By tinkering I was able to connect HDMI to PS3, Nexus Player, along with other HDMI devices. I was able to produce HDMI audio from headphones but, had to power off and on the headset. I think the HDMI sync had something to do with it but, it wasn't consistent. Head tracking works and you are able to see a very large (IMAX 3rd row) experience. Screen only, everything else is blackness. It feels similar to wearing a baseball cap but, just a little tighter. It's actually thick black rubber bands that are on each side for tension. Hope they don't dry rot or are easy replaceable. It feels a little tight at times but, suspect it may relax over time. The visor slides up to your face. If you press up against your face too tightly you'll feel it eventually start to affect your sinuses though you do seem to have a better field of view when you do that. Eyelashes brushing up along with taping your skin will smudge so, you find yourself cleaning the lenses often. Things look a bit pixelated but, this is something I can live with. Imagine if you could focus your eyes close enough to your HD 1080p tv close enough to encompass your entire field of view. See the dots that make up the screen, they are there but, a bit fuzzy and you don't see the black lines separating them so much. Compare to other HTC Vive where you'll see little circles instead that look like a black metal mesh in front of the image. I'm not knocking the Vive but, it simply detracts too much from the experience for me. The game demo at BestBuy seemed more clear, watching a movie at home on it appeared a tad more blurry but, unsure if it's just how well my vision was that day or that the screen is so massive you have to move your head to see the corners. Head tracking on a PS4 in store demo was good enough but, did detect a few slight jerks. I look forward to being in a more controlled environment, it could have been someone shaking the camera or, uncontrolled light sources around me but, not sure. Overall VR experience. I tried the Vive and the head tracking and controllers were absolute. The PS4 lacks slightly but, good enough to get you where you exactly where you need to be. The images was great but, ALL VR does lack resolution... Slightly. Truth be told it's absolutely amazing in comparison at least to me. You feel claustrophobia, Vertigo, and yes, slight motion sickness. Yes these are real things that happen in real life and (personal note) feel that VR and force feedback should have the capability to emulate well but, I would like to personalize VR depth and strength as much as possible tailored to me. To me, sickness, along with those other feelings means it's doing it's job. For me it's good and good enough. For the PC it's going to be wild west which is a good thing. You'll be able to play ANY game in VR because someone even an unpaid dev will come out with something but, I'm sure the experience will come with consequences. Sony however thinks inside the box too much and will rely on original devs to individually patch with 0 option to patch yourself. Ordinarily I would not point this out but, this thing was expensive along with everything needed to run it, I happened to buy a PS4 just for this. Hope some development package for PC environments are released from Sony if this thing just goes the way of the Move controllers which always looked quite silly to me, I can think of other adjectives for that. It was hard choosing this over what is currently supported on PC but, for me the focus problems I had and screen door I experienced with the HTC Vive was distracting and clearly something that could have been addressed.
