Does anyone know, I preordered through Gamestop online and paid the €100 on the day, can I go in between now and launch day and pay it off or does the remainder come off my card when I collect?

Yeah fall off or when you S rank PLAY + you get to fly away.

Always wanted to get this before selling my PSVR but was a bit steep for a 2 hour experience. Down from 20 euro to 4 euro now though.

Apparently 1 of the best looking on PSVR:

lol I guess I might finally take the plunge and buy it.. never wanted to pay the crazy money they were asking for :)

RocketRaccoon · 28-01-2023 10:16AM

I've prebooked the horizon bundle, does anyone know if I need to have completed the other 2 games to understand what's going on?

mrcheez · 28-01-2023 11:48AM

Nah apparently not...I don't think the main characters feature prominently

JimBurnley · 29-01-2023 06:25PM

Drums Rock. This looks super cool and apparently is PSVR2 launch title

Should be easier got then?

Orders might pick up at Christmas if they do a megapack.

JimBurnley · 31-01-2023 08:16PM

Sony denying this now

For anyone, like myself, who hasn't bought it before. Resident Evil Village is on sale on the store until the 15th for €19.99, for that price it's surely worth having for VR2 release day.

I might manage to play it more than I got from Resi 7 on the original VR, it scared the **** out of me and I couldn't play it!

Damn 🤩

In depth preview with a lot of features covered so if you dont want to know until you put on the headset maybe give this video a miss.

The ultimate PSVR2 FAQ

LeeroyJ. · 07-02-2023 11:55AM

I'd love to pre-order a set but with GameStop being the only option, I'd rather wait. They have screwed me over too many times to keep count of. Pre-ordered games arriving late, cancellations and in just in general being happy to take your money but being completely unreliable. I stroll into a GameStop on release day and pick one up if they have it, if not, I'll wait for Smyths or Amazon to stock them.

jj880 · 07-02-2023 12:07PM

It really looks the business. A friend has a sim racing setup with 3 monitors and I reckon PSVR2 would be even better for a similar setup looking at the GT7 footage. I'm well jealous of those getting it at launch. I need a TV soon though so will be a Christmas purchase for me. Hopefully with some kind of bundle.

Ah here! 🤣🤣🤣

I do like the box being re-used for storage.

That external IPD adjuster should be on all VR headsets. Seems such a no brainer.

liaml04 · 11-02-2023 07:31PM

Any word on a cable extender? Reddit has differing opinions but nothing concrete.

Another 1-2 m would be brilliant

JimBurnley · 13-02-2023 04:41PM

Announced that the Thumper PSVR2 upgrade is $5 if you own it on PSVR1. So I'm guessing that's €5 proper money

jj880 · 13-02-2023 05:06PM

Good to see. Unlike Moss 2. I got it at launch for 40 euro on PSVR. Looking at the PSVR2 version they want 27 euro for it. Deary me. Was the best looking game I played on PSVR.

mrcheez · 16-02-2023 01:09AM

Walkabout Mini Golf confirmed

RocketRaccoon · 16-02-2023 02:10PM

Review embargo lifted for the headset and horizon, plenty of videos around so choose your poison and give it a watch.

Royale with Cheese · 16-02-2023 05:09PM

General consensus seems to be it's good but expensive, and will depend on what games get released for it long term. Horizon looks great and is a good showcase for the headset but is kind of dull as an actual game, pretty much what I was expecting.

I'm in the minority of people who own a sim racing rig and in the minority of that group in that I only play on console so I'm mainly just getting this for Gran Turismo (and hopefully future support for some non Sony racing games), anything else on top of that is a bonus as far as I'm concerned. I had originally just pre-ordered the standalone headset but changed it a month ago to the Horizon bundle as I may as well check out some other VR games while I'm at it. I doubt I'd have shelled out €550 for a headset if it wasn't for the racing games so I can see why the reviews all mention the steep price.

RocketRaccoon · 16-02-2023 05:43PM

I'm giving serious thoughts to a wheel set up for GT7 later in the year.

The only negative any reviewers seem to be giving is the price but for the hardware involved I don't mind paying it. It's the backlog of games that will get to me, I've a good few bought and ready for launch but with Drums Rock being announced for next week aswell as Switchback in a few weeks it's gonna be the usual story of too many games and not enough time.

brady12 · 20-02-2023 11:19PM

are any of the upgraded psvr 1 titles that are available on psvr2 launch day , essential purchases ?

JimBurnley · 20-02-2023 11:36PM

Essential is subjective but of the upgraded titles I'm looking forward to Pistol Whip, Synth Riders, Thumper and After The Fall

copperspock · 21-02-2023 02:41AM

GS emailed me today, it's on its way! Maybe I'll get lucky and get it a day early :)

LeeroyJ. · 21-02-2023 01:19PM

Received mine at 7am this morning. Unfortunately my company mandated a return to 5 days in the office this week so its going to be a long day of waiting to try it.

RocketRaccoon · 21-02-2023 01:25PM

Booked tomorrow off work, straight to Gamestop in the morning to collect it and vegetate for the day. Or as much as my kids will allow.

kerplun k · 21-02-2023 03:29PM

Looking forward to hearing peoples opinions on this.

I don't have a PS5 yet, but I am coming around to the idea of getting one.
