    VR Megapack sold out for Home Delivery in Smyths, just whatever amounts are in your local store for click and collect. Made my choice easier anyway. Just ordered the Megapack and pre-ordered Ironman VR Move bundle.

    Welcome to the club. I've had my vr for nearly 2 years now. Haven't used it since lockdown as forgot to bring it home with me :(
    When buying games , I found it easier to go digital as no need to take off visor to change games. Some good games are Beat Saber, Superhot VR, BoxVR, Blood and Truth and Astro Bot. Also if using the Gold Wireless headset, buy a short audio cable as you need to plug headset into vr, wireless will not work

    Just to let you know if planning to buy digital, Beat Saber has never been on sale since its release on PSN store

    Beat Saber has never gone on sale on any platform.

    In fact, it USED to be cheaper before it officially launched, while it was still in beta

    Yeah its crazy that it has never gone on sale. I picked it up on the Turkey PSN for around 18 euro when it came out. BTW you need a disposable virtual card from revolut to buy from that region. I got saints row the third remastered for 25 euro the other day, its 40 here

    Was tempted by VR also. Is it being discounted now because a new version will come out with the PS5 later this year?

    Was on the verge of buying a replacement PSVR for about two months now, but for 200 euro I’m in.

    Can’t see the psvr2 launching anywhere near a year of the PS5. They’ll want to give the console as much room as possible.

    Agreed. Plus VR is a slow burn market. They have already cannibalised the majority of the VR market if they release an updated model soon and sales would be abysmal.

    I’d be hugely surprised if the psvr doesn’t work with the PS5. Then, once the install base is big enough bring out a (possibly wireless) PSVR2 as the premium whistles & bells model.

    It's been 200 a few times now during various sales. I just can't use it as it hurts.

    Has anyone ordered the VR from Smyths for delivery and has it been shipped yet?.. I know of cases where Smyths stock was completely incorrect so hoping this isn't the case now as I have bought some other VR stuff already..

    I'd be raging if it was sold out and stock wasn't updated... Should be OK, maybe they just didnt deliver out any today...

    Server location may be an issue. I'd get it on your Irish account to be safe.

    And if you play a game on your usa ps now and then decide to buy on your Irish account, progress might not carry over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,155 ✭✭✭ronano


    thank you for the quick and informative replies, will wait for Irish discount

    Might have been mentioned already, PS Plus is €41.99 for 12 months in GameStop and Smyths (both digital)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,382 ✭✭✭petes



    I see Return to Arkham is down to 14:99 from that list, The Arkham Collection which includes both those games and Arkham Knight is 19:99.

    Mine arrived today. Ton of little improvements over the original headset. Especially glad to see they’ve redesigned the cord where my old one failed.
