Its most likely due to the very small number of potential purchasers when compared to the huge customer base that buy physical PS4 games.

It wouldn't be worth their while to choose physical distribution.

This would be my guess as well.

And in maybe 5 years time we be like who buys boxed games?. As digtal is so better like once we have our 1000mb download speeds haha.

My issue is that if I buy a PSVR and 5 or 6 games...what happens if I want to sell it on in six months? I'd much rather than physical copies.

And for the dude who said there is no physical copies of Batman: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Warner-Bros-Games-1000628897-Batman/dp/B01I48X1A0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479597120&sr=8-2&keywords=batman+vr

Doesn't matter how good your internet speed is when PSN is terrible.

I made sure to buy VR worlds so I could have a bash at different types of games and suss out what I like and don't . I like driving sims , but I can see now the issues with motion sickness with these types of games . I really liked the London Heist . I bought Pixel Gear after playing the Heist and I had great fun with that . I have the platinum for that game now . I am actually looking forward to Star trek , Bridge Crew after playing these types of games . I will wait and see what GT7 is like before I buy it , if it is released before I die .

At the moment , the onrail games seem to be doing it for me .

I'd wait and see the games that are out in the new year as a lot of the stuff about at the moment is really just extended tech demo's .

I wonder if the improved framerate of the PS 4 Pro would aid with lowering motion sickness?

Thats generally what improved frame rate does in VR.

It still depends how prone someone is to motion sickness and the style of the game that is being played. Some games will just be more taxing on players than others. Thats why Sony have a VR comfort guide for each game/experience.

Regarding headphones for the PSVR, I have ones that plug into a USB port: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphones-Surround-Vibration-Headphone-Microphone/dp/B01E71UTSU/

Can I use a USB-to-3.5mm adaptor like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Female-to-AUX-3-5mm-Male-Jack-Plug-Audio-Converter-Adapter-Data-Charge-Cable-/261584622176?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

to get it working with 3D audio?

Think the only way to get 3D audio is via the headphone jack in the PSVR lead so it's a fair assumption to assume you'll need that adaptor.

It needs the PS4 camera to function at all and the nunchucks are presumably Move controllers which are currently rather rare and expensive (80ish quid new in most places).

Thanks for info, getting that at that price for sure

Sorry - what do you mean by non dlc version? I reserved a copy at Smyths - will that qualify for the DLC?

Thanks

Of the ones available, has anyone bothered trying to get any headset/charging stands for the PSVR? Any thoughts on them if so? I'm looking into one as they would be very handy and would clean up the space around the console.

That said, I've seen this one on Amazon and it doesn't look to have great reviews.

I've managed to get two PS3 Move controllers. Can anyone point me in the direction of the cable I will need to charge them?

Soap MacTavish
