I think the price is appropriate for the quality of the product.
I agree.
100%. You cannot get a PCVR and PC for the same price. As PSVR2 and PS5. Also let’s be real. Most people looking at this have a PS5 already. PC players probably wouldn’t look at this as they might already have an HTC Vibe or Quest
I agree
Even if you get this AND a PS5 to mainly go VR initially, you're getting a PS5 essentially free and future proofing any concept of actually playing regular games.
☝️ This
I’m convinced, my PS5 is getting a brother!
Same here my first time
This is the reason I bought a ps5. The original PSVR sold me on VR. I knew then it was just the beginning. I believe this is what we’ve really been waiting for.
Imma need to use this as my caption when I post the first family picture, feb 22.
@@hustlefrost127same🎉
I’m buying this for gt7. Everything else is a bonus :-)

I was never big into racing but VR racing🤤 as soon as they announced that i bought GT7 and actually it's a great game even on the flat screen i can only imagine the VR version🔥🔥🔥
So am i🎉
I've been waiting forever for VR on GT7. My PS5 is a Day 1. Same for his lil bro coming Feb 22.
Dude was testing the headset and thought to himself, why just cover the upper half of my face, when I can put a mask on also. This most certainly the safest review on youtube.
VR is something I've always wanted to get into but just haven't. This really seems like the right way to jump in with both feet. I'll more than likely be picking this up and taking the plunge into VR.
Agree

You're gonna be mind blown with this as your first VR experience.
Wish this was my 1st time lol😁
I've had VR since 2016, I have an HTC Vive Pro that's wireless, with the Valve Index controllers. IMO, VR is cool, it's neat, you should experience it; but really consider spending too much money on it.
Most of the games are just rinse and repeat.
Rhythm games, puzzle games, rail shooters, hoard defense. That's going to be the bulk of games. There's also the VR chat type things. Then there's normal games, you can play in VR. It's cool, but once that wears off, you realize you're playing a game you already played; or can play faster, easier and more comfortable with a controller.
I mean, do you really want to stand in place for an hours to play RE8 again?
If you look at what people play the most in VR, it's Beat Saber and VR Chat. Kind of says how VR is going.
But all in all, yeah; experience it some way, then decide if you want to invest. My set-up just collects dust because of all the reasons I listed.
I really REALLY like the idea of one cord to the PS5, some easy calibration and BAM ready to roll. Just preordered this.
Easy to bring to a buddy’s place too if they have a ps5
@@iNoScopedMLK would be easier if it was stand alone
@@noved317 But not easier on the eyes
@@noved317 That would result in a loss of quality for the games visuals, eye tracking would be really hard on the battery, it'd make the vr set heavier needing a mini computer inside of it + the battery, we'd have to worry about charging the battery and it'd be even more expensive to buy.
That's a lot of downsides to make it portable.
@@fall-neckthetallneck2977 yes finally someone who knows what theyre talking about because i see too many "but its not wireless" issue...having a cordless vr headset that doesnt compromise visual fidelity but at the same time isnt too cumbersome for the user all at a reasonable price point still a ways off
I think people are missing the point of the PSVR2-PS5, it is a high end PCVR quality VR system for around $1100, and that makes it very reasonable for what it brings to VR, both PVCR and Meta do not have the Triple-A games to push VR forward, but more PCVR headsets and standalone will be released into a stagnated market so everyone will be playing the same games they were playing 3 years ago but on faster better but more expensive headsets and PC Hardware, PSVR2 is the push into the future that VR needs right now.
Heh, most of the launch games are years old.
I'll believe it when I see it. Most Ps5 owners aren't gonna spend $500+ on a vr headset. They set the price too high. Maybe if it could actually connect to a PC too...
@@chunkylover5367 u must be dumb psvr2 costs the same as psvr1. You had to buy the extra camera and two move controllers. Price comes out to about the same
@@chunkylover5367 I have no clue what you're talking about I know many PC owners that are literally buying a PS5 just for the psvr2. If you can afford a PC in today's day and age especially a gaming one, then you should have no problem plopping down money for a PS once every decade which is much longer than the typical PC upgrade cycle
@@chunkylover5367 also a lot of people I know that have at least an RTX 30 series or above also usually have either an Xbox or a PlayStation due to exclusive titles and that's probably the primary reason why I am also going to buy a PlayStation because I enjoyed Horizon on PC but I don't want to wait 3 years to get the next installment on PC when I can get it from PlayStation immediately
I just realized that since this is wired and that it doesn't require a camera to be looking at the headset at all, if you dont want a cable coming towards you because it might get in the way, you could just face opposite of the ps5 and that way the cable is always behind you.
Or get the kiwivr pulley that lets you hang the wire to the ceiling
I just drape the cable of my current PSVR over a piece of furniture so it’s off the ground, draping over a chair or couch will do fine.
I hung mine from the ceiling with bungie cords cause my dog chewed my cable in half being on the floor. Worked great after that
Chaika Gaz has the right idea, I used a pulley system with my OGPSVR and it was great, KiwiVR also makes good products so their recommendation was a good one.
The issue is that with VR if you can spin around irl (instead of using click or smooth turn) this can stop nausea/add immersion. It's not a deal breaker though. I used VR for years wired to a PC and even though it's mildly irritating it's still fine. You just develop a sense of where it is when playing and need to unravel it every now and again.
This isn’t comparable to a Quest 2, it’s actually 20 times more powerful and has much better specs and features.
They let trolls in here? I mean, certainly ignorant people are allowed to post, as you are, but I guess I should know better than to feed the trolls.
It's not comparable because one is a standalone headset the other is powered by a console. It should be compared to nothing but the old psvr.
Why do people keep complaining about the freaking price? Let that person decide if something is expensive or not. To compare the price to Oculus was not only unprofessional, but has nothing to Dow with the PSVR2 review. Yet we are wondering why VR is slowly “dying”. Reviewers like this are annoying as heck. Stick with review. Keep it positive and move the F on. You can bring up the negative in almost anything. It’s counterproductive to a healthy environment. I’m not saying lie about a product, just keep it upbeat. I miss the days when games/devices just gave you the good information. It’s been proven that people remember the one negative out of the thousand good. Your not being a good “reviewer” just because your adding bad things. You just come off as annoying and causing harm.
VR is slowly dying? That's odd, since meta went on a rant about how they want an XR future, then sold 20 million wireless headsets for $300 (initially). A whole bunch of quest clones flooded the market, CES '23 was loaded with AR glasses prototypes, Apple is working on their top secret headset, Meta partnered with Qualcomm and Microsoft to continue the Quest line, Google partnered with Samsung and Qualcomm for XR device development.
But sure if that's what "slowly Dying" is. Lol
Might be pricy for some people. But what you can do is save for it. Just open money jar and put 20 or 30 every month. Then when it comes out you got it🤣 as soon as i saw news about psvr2 i did that and now no worries about the price😁
People complain about the "freaking price" because the "freaking price" is important.
Really good, well-informed overview. Don't think I was left with any questions.
People keep complaining about the price "Oh no you need 1000 usd!" Well 1k usd get you both a PS5 AND a state of the art VR headset that is actually better than its true competitors, the PC VR headsets that actually alone cost more than a 1k without counting the expensive PC hardware to run it. It's so weird how noone mentions that and keep trying to compare to Quest 2.
Exactly it's like comparing a switch to a PS5! Uncomparable!!
It’s so immersive the reviewer even felt the need to mask up in his lounge 😂
Lol - how ridiculous??
I think this from last year when tech people were 1st given the chance to try it.
You could always wait, I'll say this is a perfect VR headset for what you pay and will get you years of fun
Damn. I went from "this is gonna flop and I don't care", to "I might buy this next week." Lol. 550 (while steep for me) is honestly not even a huge ask given what tech is packed into it. I can't believe it's an OLED panel too. They went all out for this.
All the reviews have agreed this is a pretty damn good headset for the cost. The big question is games. I got it for GT7 but that is because I love racing games. They need more AAA titles for this to be more than just a niche product. Also more classic vr favorites like beat Sabre.
@@chrisd6736 Launch is showing good signs so far. We have Horizon, RE8, Gran Turismo 7, No Man's Sky, Dark Pictures: Switchback, RE4 Remake (how much of the game will be in VR is yet to be disclosed) and the Saints and Sinners games as high quality titles. You can bet Sony has a lot up their sleeves they haven't talked about yet due to not wanting to draw attention away from the launch games. Also beatsaber has been confirmed. We're off to a great start!
@@Jdb63- nice I didn’t know beat Sabre was confirmed. Any idea when that is coming?
@@chrisd6736 No info yet. Safe to assume sometime this year
@@Jdb63 nice thanks for the info.
Responding to the comment toward the end of the video.....ummmm....you can move around when tethered. Most of us don't trip on the wire despite not standing in place. It's very easy to adapt to one thin wire which I'd rather have versus an uncomfortable face heavy headset.
PreOrdered!!! LOVED the first PSVR and this looks to be a HUGE leap forward
It still boggles my mind that no one can seem to go 15 seconds without saying how expensive this is. Yes, you need a PS5. But the headset itself is $50 more than Quest 2 large HD version (A whole, whopping 10%), and this device obliterates the quest in visual fidelity and horsepower. With the obsession about price talk, you'd think this thing cost was the Pimax Crystal does.
Also people don't mention the Quest 2 has a terrible headstrong which forces you to pay $100 extra for the elite strap.
Ya but you need a PS5
@Chuck Karmes Yeah but most people who are compared it to a Quest 2 are talking about using it with a powerfull PC not the weak mobile graphics.
This is my first experience with VR.. Wow my mind is blown away. Sensory overload in a good way. I’m glad I made the purchase.
To be honest, the PSVR 2 is not expensive at all. Nowadays a RTX 4080 costs minimum $1200 for just a overpriced card. I used to game on PC only, but I have been gaming on my PS5 every now and then. What makes the PS5 successful is the games are optimized, they run smooth and beautiful. On the other hand, nowadays pc games especially the AAA titles are not optimized at all, developers expect the gamers all use 4080 or 4090 to run their games in 4k. For a pc gamer to run high resolution on a high end VR, it requires a $3000+ system plus the cost of the headset. For me, the PSVR 2 is a bargain when I know every game I run on it will be smooth and beautiful. Also, I can always resell my ps5 games while I cannot resell my games on Steam.
I don’t mind the cable if it gives me better graphics and no more screen door effect. That’s what I didn’t like from the VR1. I’m excited for this one.
He says “you can get a cheaper VR headset and just hook it up to your pc” as if you could hook it up to any old pc.
A gaming rig good enough to run VR at this level of fidelity is more expensive than a PS5.
PSVR2 is at a super fair price point compared to similar headsets for PC.
I’ve been keeping an eye on the vr space for the past couple years and kept holding off from purchasing one because I thought the tech wasn’t there yet. When psvr2 got announced, I jumped on preordering it. I knew the tech had finally matured enough to be what vr is supposed to be
Same
Can't wait for mine to arrive next week!
I received an e-mail from Sony a couple of hours ago saying that my PSVR2 has been shipped and it will arrive next wednesday. I can't wait.
Now you made ne Jealous :)
I ordered on the first day possible and there is no News with payment or shipping.
The wait ist Killing me.
Enjoy your Headset on lauchday :)
I think its safe to say Switchback is the system seller. A new technical benchmark for VR right after Alyx and Kayak Mirage. Also the fact that this is a wired device is a huge win. No more latency which translates to much quicker response times and more rock solid consistent framerates. Good luck getting those with wireless VR headsets
Add in FR with OLED 4K HDR lenses and you will get visual fidelity much closer to flatscreen graphics at no cost to framerate. Anyone complaining its too "expensive" is outta their mind considering you are getting all the above mentioned for way cheaper than all the similar high end PCVR headsets
Imagine Dead Space Remake on VR
Trust me..I have
Can’t wait to get mine!
Mine will be here on release day! Can't wait.
I just got my psvr2 today and went through the setup. At first i was disappointed because it looked blurry to me but then i started playing with the button for the eye distance while in the game and i was able to find a sweet spot. Now it looks clearer then when i first set it up. Not disappointed anymore. Just take your time setting up. Don't rush it and you will be pleased with the results.
Never owned a VR system before. This will be my first intro to VR so all of these launch games are brand new to me. I feel like a kid again.
You are going to love it. PSVR1 was great. This is next level amazing. Just a tip. If you feel motion sick stop, don't try and push through it. The best thing is to take small bites, then leave it a day or two. You will soon get your VR legs. You might also be one of those people that don't suffer motion sickness at all, you will soon know.
You need high end computers to run PC VR headsets running you at least $1500 plus the headset. This is pretty good price and good graphics.
I usually never tend to be overhyped for anything anymore, but waiting for this awesome VR experience seriously keeps me awake at night xD
When i get it, i'm gonna go on 'VR at home vacation' for a week :)
I'm the same. Feel like a little kid again.
HYPED!!!!
The last couple weeks felt like counting the days to get out of prison! I‘m almost there just a couple more days baby.
PSVR2 is gonna take my VRginity and it’s gonna be unforgettable ❤️
I was holding back for a long time to plunge into VR, didnt ever have console either. Got PS5 few months ago and eagerly awaiting postman today :)) Expectations are high, my kids are also asking about it every day but daddy is going to have whole afternoon for himself first :)
We get ours a week from today. Cant fricken wait to get it.
The quest graphics don’t compete AT ALL.
I preordered this in December . The thing with pcvr is you need a special computer to run it . I bought a gaming desktop with a rtx 3070 which is a midrange graphics card which cost around 1500$ plus whatever headset you use. I use the quest 2 but there are better equipped headsets out there but cost around 1,000 dollars . So 1,900-2,500$ vs 1,050$ for a ps5-psvr2 . The psvr2 is more reasonably priced.
I purchased my ps5 specifically for psvr 2. The digital version paired with this headset is the cheapest way to enter high quality VR Gaming. This and my Quest VR headset will coexist. Quest will be using for social apps, and psvr2 will be used for better games graphically. As far as PC Vr is concerned, it's cool & all, but I prefer the easier method with consoles, just plug in cable, and jump right into the game, plus they'll be better optimized.
This is not expensive for what your're getting. The value proposition is very high considering what's in the package
Can you please say something about cinematic mode? Is it good ti play regular games? Thanks for the video!
Digital Foundry mentions cinematic mode is great for playing flat games with crisp visuals. Also 120fps for games that allow it
Honestly, this is expensive, but it's also a fantastic deal. I'm convinced they're selling it at a massive loss, considering comparable PC VR headsets are *way* more expensive. It's hard to compare this to the Quest 2, because of the massive drop in quality you're getting with that -- it's closer to a mobile gaming device.
The one issue I have with the PSVR2 is that it's SO games focused, and I kind of want to explore the other sides of VR as well -- importing my 360-degree photos and videos, or flying around in Google Earth. I want to see a lot more innovation in that sphere, and I'm not sure the VR2 is going to explore that so much. But, that said... Games are the main focus of VR for a reason, and I think it's the perfect jumping off point for people who ALSO want a PS5. Considering you get the PS5 AS WELL, for less than the price of a PC VR headset.. that's a great deal.
The quest 2 is a better option if you are looking for experiences besides games .
@@sarahal-hwail4166 I partially agree with you… But I see the added power and functions of the psvr2 and I’m tempted to wait and see if it will win me over. I really think the eye tracking is more of a game changer than people realize right now.
People keep talking about the high price of the psvr 2 but the original psvr was $400 and required you to buy a PlayStation camera and 2 move controllers which cost... about $560 total. The same price (ish) as the psvr 2. This isn't even including inflation. Also, the meta quest 256gb version is $500 which I think is a much more fair comparison to the psvr 2 because many vr games are large and if you get the smaller storage meta quest 2 you're going to have to do a lot of deleting and redownloading of games, unless you only plan on having a few games. But if you only plan on having a few games then what's the point really?
To top it off, the psvr2 headset is much lighter and you don't have to worry about the battery dying. If the quest 2 gets 2 hours of vr game time max when it's new then you're going to have to recharge it often. If you recharge consumer electronics often then the battery degrades faster. How long before the 2 hour battery life of the quest 2 becomes just 1 hour? At that point it basically needs to be plugged in to be used, just like a psvr.
A lot of consumer products nowadays don't have easily replaceable batteries, so are you just supposed to buy a new quest every cycle or every other product cycle? Seems expensive in the long run. With a psvr you know you'll be able to use it for the whole ps5 cycle at least.
PSVR 2 is not expensive is actually cheaper than PSVR1 + Camera + Move Controllers. And PSVR 2 is packing in way better tech
Brought the first one to many wires so never used it much. Really looking forward to this on as just one wire and better quality hopefully 👍🏻
Yes the amount of wires of the original really was hard to deal with. But it did show the potential of VR. This looks like that potential is realised.
It took me all of 10 minutes to set up and then you were dealing with one wire, contrast that to a Valve Index or HTC Vibe.
I got in late with the original PSVR headset. With a bundle that included the camera and 5 games. I would have liked to have at least 2 launch games for PSVR 2. They could have easily implemented another Astrobot demo to show off the new technology.
@6:39 if you go to audio settings, you can enable side-tone from off to a 1-8 setting allowing you to hear in game sounds as well as ambient sounds such as someone else in the room with you
If you buy this as your primary screen for the PS5 instead of a 4K 120hz monitor it’s actually a good deal.
You'd get really sick of that faster than you think.
@@LarryJ602 lol I agree but some people may just want a PS5 just for VR you never know.
But you can’t play regular PS5 games on it.
@@sarahhadi6276 well good thing the only game I have and wanna play is GT7 lol
@@sarahhadi6276 actually, you can. It will have a virtual cinema mode. It's actually quite easy thing to make it happen. It's already working btw
Can't wait to start streaming!
I love that u don't need the TV for this to work thank God 🙏
I am planning on waiting til the end of the year to see the competition before purchasing one. It feels like the year of VR to me!
There is a pass through audio option buried in the options that uses the microphone to feed in audio from your physical surroundings.
I get that the $1,000 price point isn’t something to sneeze at. But to be fair, $1,000 isn’t what it used to be.
Adjusted for inflation, the Atari 2600 was $960, the Neo Geo was $1,400.
One thousand dollars feels like more money than it is because of its emotional history to consumers. To be sure, it’s still a higher price point, but it’s not that expensive (relative to what you’re getting) when you honestly and unemotionally view $1,000 as what it is today. When I was a kid (I’m 43), yeah, $1,000 would have been an outrageous price point for my parents to deal with! These days, not nearly as much.
I had a NeoGeo when I was a kid, only had one game Magician Lord. My father got it somehow from a person off base. Never ever got another game for it ever because 1 game was like 250 to 350. Magician lord was a pretty tight game though so it was fun to have.
Stop with the 1k pricing stuff. You know this isn't 1k. It's 550. Adding the price of the PS5 to this is just for drama and shock value.
That would be no different than saying a PC connected headset costs 2-3k or more. It doesn't. You can play all of these games (except for a small number of VR only and those are meaningless in this conversation) without the headset.
@@santiagodraco to have a PSVR2 is a total price tag of +$1,000.
A PSVR2 is +$500. With no PlayStation 5, it’s an unglorified paperweight. So you need to buy a PlayStation 5 for it to work. That’s another +$500.
Last I checked, 500+500=1,000. If you want to play PSVR2, you **will** be spending north of one thousand dollars.
I’m not sure what’s disingenuous in my argument…
Yes, yes, YES - couldn't agree more - BRING US ASTROBOT, please.
Always been intrigued by VR but never took the plunge due to the limitations it had in the past. The PSVR 2 looks like the perfect opportunity to get into VR and can definitely see the amount of potential it has for the games since it utilizes the PS5 CPU and GPU
How is the psvr2 and the “car sickness” feeling I got last time I tried vr? This is the only thing holding me back abk surprisingly I haven’t heard anyone address this.
1000 price is not much just think about it you will get also ps5 and play its games + blue ray
6:20 so wireless headphones DO work with the headset via dongle?
I'm pretty sure it's just ones that connect directly to the playstation wireless. Otherwise, it's corded to the headset.
This was a good review until you mentioned the price!! Smh, you guys like to compare it to quest 2 but when you compare it to PCVR you all of a sudden don't include the price of the PC wich is 2000$+ Like people just have a beefy PC lying around.. WHY THE DOUBLE STANDARDS??
It's like saying the rollercoasters in disney are great but you have to spend 70 for entry, compare that to the kiddie ride that only cost 1$ at our local shop pfffff🙄
PSVR2 is dope. I got one the other week. Exciting to think of some of the types of games we could get on it.
This is my favorite game reviewer...So down to earth not overly negative or a Debbie downer like on ign reviews. He could easily be a good friend of mine and I think that increases his likability. Thanks for the awesome and optimistic review
I think the comparison saying "it's expensive" because you also need a PS5... well you also need a CAPABLE PC to run VR at 90/120 fps. Which alone ic you don't have it would net you around 1000-1200$ which is... exactly how much you need for PS5+PSVR2.
Does this not support external audio (ie home theater?)
In any case, ordered and mine has shipped. Supposedly arriving Tuesday the 22nd ;)
Yes. What you see in VR will display on your TV also, and sound also. If it comes through your home cinema then it will come through that in VR. Well at least PSVR1 did. I haven't heard this doing anything different.
Thanks for the review. The price comparison next to PCVR is an odd one tho. Beyond Quest, you need a PC capable of running these games. I currently don’t. What would the cost of next gen VR and a PC be? I’m thinking more than double the price of a PS5 and VR2.
Getting PSVR2 quality on PCVR would probably be at least $2,500 between the headset and computer. A Valve Index is $1,000 and has worse specs than PSVR2.
I find the Quest 2 comparison odd and tired. You are either comparing to a phone level processor when usint the Quest wireless with a 2 to 3 hour battery life or a much more expensive PC setup that most are unlikely to have
The Quest 2 is $400 or 500, then for PC gaming you will need; either a Link Cable or a Wi-Fi 6 hub, around 80/100 from Meta though you can cheap out with other brands if it meets specs. Then you need a PC or laptop with a 70 series Nvidia card or 5700XT or 6700xt AMD or better for full resolution gameplay. With used parts you may get up and running for $1000 but then the comparison is flawed (new/vs used, one should compare new to new). Expect to spend more for a decent experience. Then you must have Virtual desktop software to use Steam VR titles for yet 40 dollars more money spent. So say 1200 or more for a playable rig. Total cost Q2 PC rig $1600+ VS $1050 for the PS5/ Vr2. YMMV
The more I see of it the more I think it’s a bargain!! The entry price for original psvr incl camera and controllers was the same, I find it fascinating that every video seems to know the budgetary constraints of their viewers .. “you’re poor, this is expensive”, no I’m not and no it isn’t! 😂😛 I spent 5x that on my atmos system , and plenty of people have waaaay bigger and better ones than me!!
Yeah the price has been the strangest part of the conversation around this device.
Almost every single outlet says “it’s very expensive”, which is subjective but also ignores the fact VR2 costs pretty much the same amount as the last iteration from ~7 years ago even without adjusting for inflation.
The specs are awesome for the price. But ultimately it's the games that matter.
Yep exactly, wether its expensive or not is very subjective...they should be stating if it's over priced (which it isnt)
Good point. But you get what you pay for.
I want to know more about the quality and experience of using the headset in cinematic mode.
Digital Foundry covered that well.
He covered that near the end. Wasn't impressed. Might be good for you though. Some retailers, like Best Buy, have TV's and game systems out for your to try and they'll even help you with it. If you don't have a friend with one, I'd try one there and see if you like it. If that's all your looking for, you might be better off with pcvr.
My headset has shipped. I'm hoping Behemoth is on par with its video. It should be, given it's being made by Skydance. Lookong forward to that and so many others. I think I'm up to 6 games in the chamber for day 1. This is the new pinnacle of gaming just days away. IMO. And hope!
yeah man pre order now
Looking forward to more AAA game experiences 🤞🏾
I wonder if it'll have issues with the cable getting loose on the headset, like with the 1st psvr head set.
I never had that issue. Non of my friends did either.
Quest 2 is like looking through a toilet roll tube
what’s the best psvr2 FPS running and shooting game, no puzzles or thinking lol? like Quake3Arena once was? (for kids)
I’ve got a Kat Walk C2 omnidirectional treadmill, does the PSVR2 work with it?
No support announced yet. There is an adapter kit for the first psvr tho.
What’s it like. I considered getting one.
@@pmulherin9414 i genuinely like it a lot. It works get with SteamVR (PCVR). I have yet to get it to work with Oculus Home PC. Their Kat Walk Nexus that enables working natively with Meta Quest 2 library games “works”, but not great **yet**, as that’s still in beta.
The biggest difference in how well the Kat Walk C2 works has much more to do with the type of game you’re playing. Like Skyrim VR, or No Man’s Sky work wonderfully.
It’s biggest downside is the noise it creates as the smooth solid material that makes up the “sole” of the Kat VR shoes hitting the base of the also smooth solid treadmill(slidemill) is a bit loud. Although by no means a necessity, I very much recommend using headphones that fully cover your ears when using it.
Hello from the future! With the Apple Vision Pro released, as well as the Quest 3 as a direct competitor to PSVR2, the virtual reality environment has definitely gotten interesting. I am currently looking to make my first foray into the VR world (although I've been interested for a while), and am probably leaning towards the PSVR2 over the Quest 3. Despite the comparative shortage of games, the better graphics and ease of streaming to a television make the PSVR2 a win for me. Great video!
were people able to use the og psvr on pc? cuz if so this might be a good option to buy to replace my old rift and this way i can use for pc n ps5
It won’t work on pc at the moment until some smartass figures it out😂😂😂
I'm not sure what you're asking. PSVR2 is designed to not work on PC at all. The first psvr wasn't either, until someone molded it. Those same people said it wouldn't even be worth attempting to hack psvr2 to work on a pc, due to it taking a decade just to make happen.
@@leesummerland6358 which will probably take like 2 weeks max 😂
Amazing tech
I play quest but have a tool that lets me download any vr game I want , thanks for the titles keep up the good work 🎉
99 PSVR2 videos just came out.
It's not expensive if it's great value for the hardware you get
Ordered this and the PS5 out of curiosity. I’m not a gamer but I love VR and virtual worlds minus the game play aspect. Just exploration, entertainment, fitness and education. Hopefully it’s worth it for that.
I like the next gen fresnel lenses…so worth it
Do the ear buds have 3d audio? Don't think so. The pulse 3d set has the ability to use the microphone to hear outside in your environment at the click of a switch.
Of course.
Is it easy to scratch the lenses when wearing glasses?
You probably will have to be a little more careful, but PSVR2 was designed with glasses wearers in mind. There is also the option of prescription lenses that just slot into the headset. There are a number of companies doing these.
I have quite a large head with even wider glasses. So wide i fact that they do NOT fit in the quest 2. Do you believe that they will fit in the PSVR2?
I just bought the psvr2 with the horizen bundle. I love it
I live in Canada so since it was the bundle version, it costed me ~$920 (bought at retail price because there was nowhere else to get it here)
I'm loving it. very crisp visuals, I love the controllers even more than my pcvr set (I still use the cv1), haptic feedback, etc
my only major complaint with my purchase is there's a lack of games. I play Pavlov, Star Wars and.. that's about it. while on my pc I could play FNAF, VRChat, Gorilla Tag, Echo VR, Blades & Sorcery, etc
overall, I like the psvr2 a lot for its visuals and quality, but the lack of games is a major downside. I will be playing this more than my pcvr though, simply because pavlov and star wars are incredibly fun and I don't use my pcvr often anyway
I finally get to play regular games at 120hz to see what the fuss is about.
It's only good for competitive games, for slightly faster reactions. Absolutely destroys the graphics quality otherwise, unless you're playing some indie game where graphics aren't there in the first place.
That's my breakdown of consoles playing at 120hz.
I'm expecting Astro's playroom VR to be released on launch day. Astros never missed a release yet.
Dear CNET,
Please use the stand for the PS5, even when horizontal.
Thank you.
I would rather that this was wire free. But I think the quality wouldn't be the same.
So in the end I just decided to install a hook in the celling to hold the cable up. It's attach to a cord extension so it pull that before pulling my ps5.
For the cable buy a ceiling bungee sling amazon maybe like 10$ for three of them
I'm getting it at launch. $550 is a bit steep, but I think it'll be worth it, especially since me and the wife use it for mediation purposes. But I can't wait to play RE Village in this thing.
Meditation? How?
This review said that there are less expensive VR options for PCVR, really?? I already owns a slightly outdated, but moderately powerful gaming PC, but I also bought the PS5 and I think the PSVR 2 is by far my best value option. If there is a better PCVR that matches this price-quality ratio out there somewhere it has definitely been kept well hidden from the public because I have definitely never heard of it lol
I think they should have made a space where the wire plugs in where a Wireless Dongle can be placed in the future once the wireless tech gets there with no Lag
I've yet to see anyone address the PSVR2's sound going through a 5.1 or 7.1surround system.
A search on YT brings up only 3 videos, with this being one of them.
ANYone have any idea as to how PSVR2 and surround systems play together?
Awesome
Will by my first VR headset, will be my first-time using. Buying today for GT7. I really hope it's not a meme. Hopefully will be very impressed :)
Re: 3:30 - couldn't you use a DualSense to play PS5 games with the headset? I don't see why not, considering it all runs through the PS5.
To totally different pieces of tech between the 1st and 2nd headset. I think they said because the 1st headset had games using the light tracking using the camera is the issue.
Can you wear glasses while using it? I’m a glasses wearer and don’t have contacts currently.
You can wear glasses. But there is also the option of buying prescription lenses, that just slot inside the headset, which is much more convenient.
How far are we away from having a psvr2 wireless headset that has the same performance as the wired one?
Never. I use wireless VR with quest 2, there is always latency of 50ms or so. Additionally wifi is not enough to carry the full signal so they encode it and you get visual artifacts. It's usable though, but not as good as direct connection.
@@bat-amgalanbat-erdene2621 oh yeah. If it comes to performance or connivence, I’m more than likely always going to chose performance. Id like to see comparisons for a vr headset wired vs wireless. I’m sure it’s on the internet
