Playstation VR

I have been following this tech for a while now, it seems that Sony have done a great job bringing the tech to the PS4 platform and with the Move controller seem to have stumbled onto the perfect device to enable you to interact in Virtual world.

Out next year, I for one am looking forward to it

Really interested in this, intrigued to see what games will be available and fully ready for it from the word go.

What kind of price bracket will this be in, any ball park figures yet?

Nothing about pricing at all Mike, all that Sony has said is it will be affordable.

I'm guessing £299, but it is only a guess, from the people that have tried it the experience really is unique putting you quite literally into the game.

To think this tech is available for a home console is amazing.

Comments would suggest $3-400, but I would think it's gonna be a slow starter, similar to this gen it will take 12-18months to get going and maybe a price drop

But I will be honest I wouldn't want this type of peripheral to be less than $300 (£250), I want this thing but untill I see the games this will just be kinect v2

Oh I'll point out as it seems to be a recurring question about Playstation VR, yes you can use it with glasses

I get motion sickness sometimes during first person perspective games. That might put me off

Well by all accounts they have found how to stop motion sickness associated with the headsets, but I think you would want to text it first, but strangely a lot of people have said one of their favourite experiences was a 3rd person game............go figure

I don't think I'll be an early adopter, but really looking forward to both the VRs coming out next year.

Gunner I suffer motion sickness in first person games too, I found taking travel sickness tablets solve it, but hardly a long term solution.

As much as I'm excited by VR and will definitely be buying it, motion sickness is my biggest concern.

contry to what Simon says Sony have'nt solved the motion sickeness problem but they are allieviatting the problem in all sorts of ways.

One of the things they have found is simply walking around using a controller can affect you, apparently your brain can struggle to make sense of you moving while standing still.

But they have done a lot of research into it and refresh rate etc are major areas to aleaviatte motion sickness.

I'm going to try one guys advice and take a break if it starts to affect me, apparently it worked for him and he doesn't suffer any now, just a matter of finding your VR legs, hopefully.

Those travel bands you can get work wonders for me with that kind of stuff

I suppose it will depend on the game though.
