PlayStation VR Launch Bundle [Discontinued]

My advice is, get in on the ground floor of the future of gaming. This is a mind-blowing experience, and so worth the money, worth twice as much. If you've been thinking about buying a vr system, but have been hesitating because you don't want to be let down, or because it's too expensive right now, stop. Just stop. Order it today.Imagine your first experience with a serious gaming machine -- your first NES, for example, or your first PlayStation, or your first Pentium-driven CPU. It's like that. You thought you were done feeling that rush, but you aren't. Or remember when the first Ipod came out, and you bought it and realized your entire music library could fit in your pocket. All you could say was holy expletive. Yeah, it feels like that. We all dream of having a holodeck in our living room, and now that is one step closer to becoming a reality.Imagine a game, but instead of looking at it on a monitor or tv screen, you're inside it with the characters, immersed in the digital world, 360 degrees, and all of it beautiful. You will swear you should be able to touch what you see. Yes, you'll probably become disoriented almost immediately, but in a pleasant way. And what's particularly exciting is, your mind is going be blown by first generation products like London Heist, which are not really even full games. No, what is available right now for the vr systems are basically demos -- they hint at what the system might do in the future while still providing an incredibly entertaining experience. As soon as you put the headset on, you'll realize the potential and utter a stream of happy expletives. The future really is here. For example, VR versions of games like Skyrim will almost certainly absorb all your free hours in the very near future. Or how about a VR GTA sequel? And the online experience, just think of it.Another positive: the system so far is more of an intellectual experience than we're used to, which I appreciate. Loading Human's screenplay, for instance, is not only a well-written piece of science fiction in its own right, but contains numerous allusions to classic literary and scientific works, while Batman is more of a detective story than an action game. Playing this system is a great change of pace.In any case, the experience really is intense. I can't overstate that. It's not really for those who like to play video games at the end of the day to unwind.Dispelling negative rumors: yes, you will feel slightly ill when using the vr system, but it goes away pretty quickly. Your body will adjust over time. Take frequent rests when you're learning to play. Frankly, you'll want to rest frequently anyway, because when you're playing this system, it feels a lot like a whole body workout. And yes, the wires are uncomfortable, but there's no way of avoiding that at present. And I don't know that it's such a big deal, anyway. It's one wire (going from the headset to the vr processing unit). Keep it on the left side of your body. Next, the price tag has been complained about. Yeah, it's huge, but it's worth every penny. The resolution has been complained about, too. But play a game like Batman, for example, and you'll find that that argument doesn't hold water either. The Joker looks so good that you might have nightmares about him. Finally, the headset itself is said to be uncomfortable, but again, once you get used to it, you'll find it's actually a wonderful piece of equipment, light, sturdy, and easy to adjust. It just feels like a helmet with wraparound goggles.There's still a lot of work to be done. The games, though beautiful, are far too short and unfortunately not quite what everybody wants -- too many mysteries, films, and puzzle -oriented plotlines. Again, Batman is a good example. It feels so real that you'll find yourself drooling, but when it comes to actual gameplay? Not a lot there except puzzles. There's no combat. You can't walk. You can't drive the batmobile or fly the batwing. You just go from room to room, puzzle to puzzle. You encounter the joker, but just in a cinematic way; you can't fight and defeat him, or anybody really. Then suddenly the game's over.Loading Human is the best VR game I've played so far, but again, it's really only half a game. Rush of Blood is another good one, but you just sit in a chair while the environment washes over you.Note to the great game makers: how about some cool educational titles?

I want to write a review after spending hours on different VR games as well as movies / films and I have to say I am quite impressed with the Sony PS VR.First I want to go over the initial set up of the product itself; very easy with a step by step quick guide. It was really a no brainer for this one. Although the Quick Start guide may look big and overwhelming, it's only because there's 1 step in each page. Just make sure that you have an area with enough space to put the processor unit and VR unit when not in use.Second is the quality of the product. What is so innovative is the design of the actual VR unit itself. It's probably one of the more comfortable ones and clearer ones I have tried. The unit is so easy to adjust. Aesthetics are also great. Absolutely love the blue lighting and futurisitic look.Third is the gaming experience. I personally think the top two horror games "Until Dawn : Rush of Blood" and "Here They Lie" are the games worth the VR experience. Really gives you that feeling as if you're in a horror environment. If you are a horror fan like me, don't even think twice before purchasing this. But there is games for all ages, not just adults. Batman VR is sure enough to be a fun game for the kids.Forth, the movie and film options are what are extensive. There's Apps on PSN you can download that offer an amazing variety in movies and films; even horror 360 films that are either horrifying or relaxing.Finally the packaging; I really liked that they even put a lot of work into packaging this beast.My only complaint and con about this overall experience will probably be local multiplayer. You can only connect 1 VR and only one person can enjoy VR while everyone else has to play multiplayer by what's on the tv screen. Of course the only other solution would be owning multiple VR units and multiple PS4 units.In summary, I own both Oculus Rift and the PS VR, and I have to say that the PS VR is limited in video game selection since it's still new, however it is very user friendly, and extremely easy to set up. The reason I am giving it 4/5 is simply because I do feel that it needs more options for VR gaming and let's not get started with cable clutter. There are way too many cables that amount to make the area look messy and unkempt. Other than that I think Sony has done an amazing job with their VR gaming next step. I would recommend this product without hesitation. You have worked hard, go out and treat yourself to some VR relaxation!
