Any word on Smyths doing pre-orders?
I didn't want to use Gamestop but no sign of it on Smyths forced my hand unfortunately.
Paid €100 today and will pay the remainder on the release day.
Looks unlikely, this is what they sent me today.....
Unfortunately, we do not have any info on pre-orders or any possible stocking information I'm afraid.
However, should the decision be made to stock it, we will update our website accordingly so please do keep an eye out for any updates!
Apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience caused by this. Should you require further assistance, please be sure to message us.
****. Looks like it’s GameStop then. Hopefully won’t be waiting for weeks/months for delivery after release date. Heard some horror stories about ps5!
RE Village VR mode announced to be released day one for PSVR2. It will be free DLC if you own the game already

Does anyone know if Smyths will have PSVR2 in stock when it releases? They don't seem to be taking pre-orders - thanks
Seem to be tonnes of PS5s suddenly in stock! I'm still going to hold off until the PSVR2 comes out, or reckon the the PS5s might go back out of stock later?
Debating digital vs disc. I think the last physical disc I bought was back around 2018, and I've never actually removed it from the PS4 since then. I never buy games new, and never sell them on.
I guess it depends on what comes with the PSVR2 headset. If a disc comes with it I guess I'll opt for disc version of the PS5 and that will then be the disc that never leaves it for the following 6 years.
I think there'll be plenty of stock in the new year. Harvey Norman already have bundles available for January.
Its been debated at length a few times on here with a clear majority paying the extra to have the disk drive as it should pay for itself over the life of the console. Although I've had mine since launch and have a grand total of 3xPS5 games on disk so Im not convinced just yet.
3 x PS5 games is more than the entire number of physical games I bought for my PS4 since 2016 or whatever
I also don't play online, so won't get my account "banned" for spouting nazi propaganda ;)
Was in Smyths yesterday and they said they haven’t heard anything about stocking PSVR 2 in the future. It seems weird to me.
Whereas Gamestop are all over the shop with Pre-order ads and a date in Feb (22nd I think?)
Curious about the exclusives so far for psvr2. Obviously the non-exclusive games will run a lot better than on Quest 2 standalone.
Are there any other psvr2 exclusives so far besides Horizon Call Of The Mountain?
Re8 will be psvr2 exclusive (afaik)
Gran Turismo too
I think I read Switchback is PSVR2 exclusive. Looking forward to it, Rush of Blood was good fun
Is it a direct sequel or just a similar sort of game made by completely different company?
Made by same company. It's based in the Dark Pictures universe whereas Rush of Blood was in Until Dawn universe
Gamestop sent an e-mail saying up to 50% extra trade credit for trading in a PS4 Pro.
Held my Pro after buying a PS5, partly as it was the desirable RDR2 bundle model that was very quiet.
Tempted to trade it in though, as it has been sitting there for a year, not even turned on.
How much are they offering for it do you know (with/without the bonus)
I was offered 240 with the bonus. 210 without.
My controller had no sticker on it (serial number) so that affected the total.
Offered to include an unopened controller i have, but the system still gave the above price.
Said i would call back in next Monday, as the offer was new.
I was hoping for 280-300 (with the 50% added bonus)
Hey decided to turn on the PSVR for the first time in months and tried to watch some YouTube Vr 360 videos. Doesn’t seem to work anymore just keeps freezing. Anyone know of a way of playing vr360 videos through the PS media player if they were downloaded. Quick google on line seems to suggest that google have stopped the YouTube VR version from working.

PSVR Without Parole had an interesting discussion about this in a recent podcast.
What PSVR1 games would you want to see on PSVR2 (that haven't been announced yet)?
For me it's:
and never going to happen but we can always dream...
If I pre-order on Gamestop today will I get it on release day or am have their been pre-order phases? Thanks
Switchback delayed by a month
I've got so much on my backlog I'm thinking of holding out several months for one of those excellent packages that we saw with PSVR 1 where they tossed in several games.
I'll be following this forum with interest though.
Actually I'm going to dust off the PSVR and get cracking on Ace Combat 7 as I picked up a HOTAS recently and haven't had a chance to try it yet!
Walking Dead Saints and Sinners 1 gets free PSVR2 upgrade

Same boat as you here. If they announce a new Astro though......
Thumper in 4k 120hz VR. Lord above 😍.
I wonder will they let you jump off the ship this time around? I always wondered what it'd be like falling off the platform in Thumper :)
