Gonna sound stupid here, but does the headset need charging or is it powered by the USB lead? 

It'll be powered by the USB. 

[mikeyl]

Forgot about this but just clicked on my day late link and preordered. Lol will probably be away at the time and unable to take delivery so will likely cancel.

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. 

If you haven’t tried out vr properly, then there really is nothing that can prepare you. 
 

it is staggering when you first go in. And also the single best device I have ever owned for people that don’t play games or don’t get in with them to play games.

If you bought the horizon game bundle, yes . No news on whether there will be a sampler as per psvr. 

Fingers crossed then because nothing appeals to me just yet.

The inner box of the original PS VR was good for keeping the headset in between uses. Hoping Sony will do something similar with the packaging here.

I’ve kept mine in there since day 1. It’s getting tatty now, but still doing its job.

I’m really hoping they release Google Earth VR - I’ve seen footage of the PC version and it looks amazing how you can zoom right out and then down to street level etc. This alone would sell VR to my missus.

There’s something similar coming to quest 2 and pro. No mention of psvr2 though.

I’d have thought Half Life Alyx would be a shoe in for PSVR 2. Has there been any speculation why it hasn’t been announced?

My gut feeling is that Sony is possibly sitting on some announcements, but that’s pure speculation on my behalf.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. While Alyx would be a system seller, it would not surprise if some head honcho at Sony doesn't want their own launch games overshadowed by such a big release.

 

It's either that or Valve have told Sony "lolno, k thx bye".

[nevsan]

I've only just now pre-ordered by asking for an invite from the SONY site. Wish I'd known about it earlier.. I suppose I'm quite late now to get one before Crimbo compared to the rest of you 😐 Blast! I was interested anyway but recently saw that NoMansSky is getting a day 1 patch.. so I'll be all over that game. Hopefully.

[Zombait]

I wish we were getting it for Christmas but it's not out until February, good news though is that you're still day 1 🙌😄

Couldn’t it also be that it’s by Valve, and they would rather people bought their headset? 

[SMD]

i guess take up for this is bad considering sony just sent me a completely unsolicited preorder link after sending me an unsolicited invite to register for preorder

I mean it’s pretty expensive so I could see that being the case, not to mention you also need a PS5 which despite getting better is still hard to find.

Oh yeah  I hope that isn’t the case though, because for VR to do well, having Sony in the market can only be a good thing for everyone. Well apart from Meta who seek world domination. 

[Monkeyspill]

Sod it! I’ve preordered the bloody thing. I’ll probably cancel later when Half Life Alyx isn’t announced.

It's not coming out till March I'm afraid.

Valve but Portal on Switch when they released the Deck, I think they'll be pretty happy to support PSVR2, more money, grow VR, weaken Oculus, win, win, win.

 

(Might just be me being desperate to play it)

Oh, I didn't know that, that actually gives me hope that Sony are sitting on it for now. 

[Steven]

Done - had to use the wife's card to make it go through which is strange. All of my details were correct - card expires next March, so possibly that?

 

Horizon thingy was £60 on PSN, so thinking whether I should have gone with the bundle. Resi 8 will be first up, mind.

 

 

[shirubagan]

I have another 24 hours to preorder this… still unsure whether I can trust Sony with my CC details. 
 

Edit: fuck it. Went for it.

[amc]

Went bonkers and pre ordered the Horizon bundle and controller chargers. That's a Quest, GearVR with S9+, PSVR1, a pair of Nreal Air glasses and now PSVR2.

 

My fucking eyes are gonna fall out before I'm 51.

[AI]

I registered last week or whenever it was, but Sony aren't sending me an email invite for some reason. Any ideas why not?

[SuperFamiTom]

I’ve had an invitation to pre-order today without even registering for some reason. 
 

No real interest outside of the technological aspect at the moment but I’ve no doubt I’ll get swept up in the hype nearer the time. So I decided I’m better having a preorder I can cancel than being gutted that I haven’t got one. 
 

Just need to find a way to tell the missus now when I was scoffing at the price just a couple of days ago.

How are the nreal airs in terms of comfort and resolution etc? 

I have the old Sony HMZ t3 but it's only 720p and not very comfortable.

So fellow PSVR2 preorder-ers… I’m a massive fan of VR and the tech in this looks amazing but I must admit I’ve paid little attention to the games announced for this so far. 
 

What are your top 3 titles you want to play in the launch window? I’d prefer confirmed titles. I have a Quest and PC so Alyx and native Quest titles are taken care of.
