Onze Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 D'oh! I was busy setting up my in-laws fibre broadband so I missed the 11.00am slot. Tried it at about 11.23am and I was able to pre-order without any issues. No complaints. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I know it’s only retail therapy but, perhaps sadly, it’s made me feel pretty happy having this to look forward to next year. It’s a lot of money but it does look very impressive and high end. I’ve been reading that apparently the Resi 4 remake is getting a PSVR2 version, that would be pant shittingly amazing if true. Fingers crossed that we’ll get some PSVR1 games patched for the launch as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Tried to add a new card so updated everything and it refused to let me purchase - checked everything several times and then it said I'd made too many attempts and to try later - fuck that I'll wait until I can buy one from Amazon or the like.

Has this not been fully confirmed yet? It's the main reason I decided to buy one, just now. Got the full set with Horizon and the docking station. Bit expensive, altogether. I sure hope I won't regret this purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaveDisco Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just got mine. This invite system is pretty damn good actually. I’ll now decide whether I’m keeping it, but if PSVR2 has Resi4 remake in VR then not I only will that be amazing, but what better way to make the differences between this and quest clearer. And I say that as someone who put the quest game in my GOTY list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that and NMS are the two I’ll be playing straight away I think. I’ve never played Resi 8 so it’ll be brand new to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Now I just need to find a way of breaking the news to the wife, although I suppose I can do that nearer the time 😬it’s not even the money she’ll be concerned about, just “more of your junk” in the living room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferine Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I've just ordered the headset on its own. Typically bundled games aren't actually any cheaper, so although I'm interested in Call of the Mountain I'll likely save money buying it separately. The charging station seems both useful and overpriced, so I'm going to hold off and see how I get on without it. I am a bit wary that they'll be hard to find if I change my mind, but if that's the case there will probably be a decent third-party alternative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roobarb Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 2 questions: 1. How can I get in on this pre-order hype if I haven't had an invite? 2. Would it be completely and utterly stupid anyway seeing as I don't even own a PS5 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Fully pre-ordered up here. Very excited if I'm honest. I had an original Vive all ready to go on pre-order in 2016 then had the realisation that my daughter was due to arrive a month later and very, very sadly (but sensibly) cancelled it. Been waiting and waiting and waiting to jump back in and even had another kid in the meantime! Tempted to go the high end PC route but sod it let's try this first.

Hitcher Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I currently have a pair of varifocals for everyday use and a pair of distance glasses when I'm just watching the TV. Would I need a pair for reading for VR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, you can always cancel at a later date if you change your mind, no money is taken until they are released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the screens in the headset are physically close to your eyes, the lenses will likely make their actual focal distance about 1.5–2 meters away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumspringa Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Yeah, I think vision is focused at a distance of ∼1.3m on the Quest headsets. I've noticed that I'm starting to struggle with my Vive which I've read has a focal distance between 1.75 - 2m and that ties in with my experience of longsightedness IRL. If you can find the specs for the PSVR2 it should give you an idea. I'm just about to get a set of these if I can get a straight answer from my optician re my prescription https://vr-lens-lab.com/product/vive-pro2-vr-prescription-lenses/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pug Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 If the focal distance is around 1m+ then I should be ok without my reading glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombait Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I wonder if anyone will do storage cases for the headset and controllers like they do for Quest 2 🤔 it'd be good to have somewhere safe to keep it between uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwock Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Poor eyesight and VR is interesting - I am short sighted, and figured because the lenses are right in front of my eyes I wouldn’t need to wear glasses or contact lenses for the headset, but nope. Blurry as ever. It is indeed all about the focal lengths, your eyes are working as if all the VR objects were actually in physical space in front of you at natural distances. I suppose this is obvious to those who understand how eyes work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were third party cases for the original PSVR, I got a nice one on ebay that kept the head set safe so I bet there will be for this version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Gonna sound stupid here, but does the headset need charging or is it powered by the USB lead? Watched of few videos of the recent demos that were doing the rounds and the games look fantastic don’t they. Really looking forward to this now.
