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!

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.
