£15 at argos, everybody should buy Driveclub.  it's absolutely fantastic and you can ignore everything reviews said about motion sickness and graphics resolution and more motion sickness . it would seem that reviewers hadnt got their VR legs yet .  It just doesn't matter as soon as you start to play the game It's the most immersive experience and so much fun.

Keep talking is good.  I suggest reading the manual before you play it, I maintain its impossible otherwise, although I was absolutely hammered when I tried to play it with @Pob @U-1

 

Im sure I have a video where we are having to explain how to actually start the game.

 

Also lets not forget your invaluable "note taking";)

Fruit Ninja VR is out now. £13.99 though, but it seems to be getting good reviews over at reddit.

Tempted myself. Obv.

Lethal VR is out too. A better £9.59 with PSN discount. Looks quite good from what I've seen of it.

Cex just increased their trade in if you are not using yours, a very generous 400 trade or 365 cash. That's for the headset only. Worth a look .

 

Really tempted to take advantage of this. I haven't used my headset in about a month and the only thing I'm keeping it around for is Resident Evil 7 but I honestly think I would struggle to play that the whole way through in VR and I reckon the trade-in price for the helmet will crash after Christmas.

 

I did enjoy my experience with PSVR but there's not really a lot on the horizon I'm interested in and to be honest I just find it a bit of a faff. I sometimes consider playing it after work but just can't be bothered making sure the move controllers are charged, putting the headset on, spending 10 minutes repeatedly cleaning the fogged up lenses before it settles down (maybe I have an abnormally hot face, I don't know.) It doesn't sound like much but it's a barrier I can't be bothered with after coming home from work in the evening compared with just playing a normal game. I have a big backlog of games I want to play, none of which are VR. Also the hardware just isn't quite there for me to have a really immersive experience in terms of resolution and picture quality. I feel like I'm looking through a portcullis and then through a screen door. Maybe in 5-10 years it'll be where I want it to be in terms of ease of use and tech.

 

For a 15 quid profit a couple of months after release I think I need to cash-in. Not sure if the Move controllers are still hard to find or not but willing to sell them to someone on here if they're interested. Bought them at launch so they're pretty much brand new. PM me if interested.

Sell it, if trade in prices plummet purchase prices will too. I sold mine just before the xwing mission came out as I was in the same boat and I've not regretted it since. Then if decent games finally arrive buy back in for less than you sold it for.

Is anyone actually going to by that Perfect thing?

 

I did and while it is a good demonstration of VR in place of Ocean Descent, it's really not worth the £6 odd it is; in fact I feel a bit swizzed. I was under the assumption you'd be able to move about each environment but you can't. You're literally in one place and can interact with a couple of object or port to two other locations. That's it.

 

The three zones look nice (mountain is my favourite) but to say it's light on content is like saying Harold Shipman may have been a bad doctor.

Why not just go the whole hog and flog it on ebay?  First one I searched was PSVR and move camera with one game and its currently at £480 with 45 min left.  I know posting it is a bit of a pain, but after fees you would still be about another £100 up.

Lethal VR is fun but it falls apart on the knife sections which feel very inaccurate. It's not a patch on Rush Of Blood, but it's a nice enough time waster for the price point.

Lethal VR does have the advantage of not making me squeal like a girl though, presumably?

indeed it's mainly shooting at targets with the odd cardboard cutout of someone with a gun. There are some cool nods to classic movie guns (the final weapon is a doozy) and plenty of opportunities to hone your high score. I've been enjoying it but I don't feel it's super accurate enough to be a real high score chaser.

I stopped using mine when I bought a Pro. Faffing about swapping wires around isn't a huge hardship but it just really bugs me. Why the hell is the breakout box hdmi 1.4? Sony are retarded.

Im guessing the heist in terms of a straight up shooting gallery is better?

I've got to be honest, that's one of the few games I don't own. I've only played the demo.

It's great being able to aim down the gunsights. I just found the knife sections very hit and miss. It's clearly all in the wrists and mine don't really get the work out they used to.

Some of it is convenience but the thought of selling anything that expensive on ebay terrifies me. They always side with the buyer. 

 

This is the thread that basically convinced me never to sell anything worth more than about 100 quid on there:

 

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1321665

 

The seller won in the end but only because he managed to organise some kind of Twitter campaign. He went back to ebay with proof of serial numbers and login details directly from Sony Customer Support and they just ignored them until the ebay thing kicked off. Terrible buyer protection and I'll take a bit less money just to not have the anxiety that an asshole is gonna buy it and scam me.
