Do you guys disconnect your psvr when not in use? People are saying they are concerned the ports will wear out swapping for hdr is this the same situation that might occur if I keep disconnecting my psvr headset?

Oh, I do disconnect the headset. Figure the long cable can be replaced...

[cassidy]

I disconnect too. Plus I'm hot swapping hdmi for HDR. Annoying.  

[MansizeRooster]

Why do you disconnect it when you're not using it? Regular games continue to work just fine with it all connected.

I have a cat who tends to chase wires. The less wires I can have hanging by my TV the better.

I disconnect the headset and put it safely away in its box because I've got a two year old who would destroy it. Everything else is kept connected up though.

Because console is near the floor, nowhere convenient to stick the £350 headset, and my son plays football in the lounge?

There's a couple of things are staring to annoy me with the headset.

The control box on the wire where you plug headphones in always gets caught on my clothing when I'm turning my head.

I'm finding it a 5 minute exercise each time I put it on to get the sweet spot for picture quality. Sometimes it looks right but doesn't feel right.

Ive had issues when playing Robinson where my eyes end up like deserts, but that's just because the game requires you to look as a mouse cursor.

When looking up the visor falls down ever so slightly sometimes putting a little annoying pressure on the bags under my eyes. I wish that joint that holds the visor on was rock solid and had no movement in it.

 

Also i realised that if your screen goes black then comes back on a few seconds later you'll have to do a complete PS4 reboot because after that it won't track properly.

Just put the head unit on my bookshelf and don't like the wire drapped across the living room floor.

I let the first 150 go. It was the 151st that finally prompted me to write something.

Well I just say I think Driveclub VR has broken racing games for me.

 

Xbox One S, connected to 4K with HDR enabled looks utterly stunning.

 

BUT! Its not like I'm there in the car, able to see the bends and the lie of the road. It just isn't the same

That sounds like a fault mate, I returned mine for a similar regular loss of audio/picture. Sometimes the sound wouldn't come back at all. I don't think it's something you should be putting up with.

Never play one of the PC ones that combines both then

[DC Lemon]

Eagle Flight made the top 40. Just.

Not much to crow about given some of the old games hovering around it but it relied pretty much exclusively on word of mouth to get there and is the bestselling (phsysical) PSVR game this week, beating the more high profile Robinson: The Journey which didn't make it.

Nah it only happens very infrequently and when coming out of rest mode.

Kinda like the headset software is crashing.

ive had it a total of maybe 4 times?

The pro seems to have a few bugs as does Robinson.

ios has been bloody awful on my iPad Pro lately too while I'm at it  lol

PS VR still in stock anywhere? I was relying on ShopTo, since they'd seemed to have maintained a steady supply since launch, but they're saying out of stock at the minute. Tell me there'll be PS VRs to buy before Christmas, please.

Stockinformer is your friend: http://stockinformer.co.uk/checker-playstation-vr

[Tomdominer]

I was using stockinformer.co.uk to keep an eye on stock and managed to get a PSVR and some move controllers with this method. Make sure you check is regularly, especially in the morning!

EDIT: What Thread said.

Cheers dudes, I'll keep my head on the swivel. Hopefully catch a headset on the spin.

It seems pretty pricey if it's only a couple of hours long. But we don't know if that's the case yet, or indeed, what there is to do in it. Am waiting for impressions!

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Hmm, I only found out today you switch off the interface box by keeping the on/off button on the headset cable pressed  I was wondering why my PS4 would keep whirring its fans while it was in rest mode.

[hat]

Apparently The Martian VR is out tomorrow.

It looks similar to Batman in as much that it's an experience rather than a game. It'll be interesting the hear what the view is once it's out.

[hat]

Doh!

[Slartibartfast]

rumour has it The Martian thing is 20-30 minutes long. Just saying. 

[McSpeed]

Isn't it free?

[jonamok]

I'd also assumed it was free. Hmmm.

My finely honed rip-off sense (thanks to Eve Valkyrie) is off the scale. 

Yep, unless  it's absolutely jizz-tastic then I think I'll be passing on it. I always thought it was just promotional marketing material for the movie (like an interactive trailer) so assumed it would be free.

[Harrisown]

It's £15.99

Who dares me to be the little pig thing they test things on?

 

oh wait, "move required" that's me out then.

 

On the plus side there is another game called Space Rift episode 1 that just went up for £12.79. No idea what that's about,
