    Not sure if it was already mentioned, but don't be a fool like me and buy the PS5 tourist edition upgrade. Have to contact Sony support for a refund tomorrow so I can purchase the PS4 upgrade, which will then make the PS5 version free.... I knew I should have stuck with my guns and not paid it out of principle!

    As an aside, I did buy the Thumper upgrade. If you really want to experience the headset haptics, this is the game to do it. I readjusted my seating half way through a level and I was suddenly very close to the events and it made it far more intense!

    Surely with Gamestop more than likely shutting all stores now the exclusivity for PSVR2 products will move to Smyths in Ireland?

    Some guns and grenades can be annoying but it is an amazing game now glad I gave it more time..

    The Last Worker out today and on offer on PSN. No reviews yet but based on few impressions I've seen it's meant to be pretty good.

    Might get it later.

    Is it any good? It looks like a bit of a laugh, but in the same vein as Goat Simulator, where the fun lasts a short time.

    I never got much into it, too busy playing Deceive INC (Non-VR) and Pavlov during my spare time.

    Apparently GameStop staff been told to expect stores closing this Summer. Was waiting to see if a bundle would come out for Christmas but would prefer to get from a store and not online. Maybe Smyths would take over sales by then.

    Gave Ace Combat 7 a go finally (on PS4 PSVR) as I'd picked up a HOTAS recently.

    First time using my PSVR in a few years.

    It's great to get a sense of flight in VR, and the missions are enjoyable, but my God I didn't realise how far we've come visually with VR as the PSVR was a complete blurfest compared to what I've been used to on Quest 2 for the past few years.

    Felt like I'd taken off a pair of prescription lenses... I still have a fair few games on the backlog for PSVR but not sure I'll be able to tackle them without getting headaches... I'll try though.

    Hopefully they'll be porting ace combat over

    Don't think they'll port 7 over, aren't they working on 8 and most likely make that PSVR2 compatible.

    They would hopefully make the entire game VR compatible as they did with Gran Turismo, rather than just having a few select levels for the VR mode.

    Well Sony set the bar high and showed that massive games can be in VR if the intent is there.

    Probably gonna be listing my VR for sale, baby on the way plus having a hard time with motion sickness. Feel nauseous before even getting into a race in Gran Turismo. Not going to bother putting a fan in front of me.

    Played many a demo and a few games over the years, and usually did ok, but in GT I got dizzy inside about 20sec. Terrible game for motion sickness.

    Also, kids or myself have not used the VR now for quite a while. Anyone any idea what it would be worth? Got the headset, 2 move controllers and the gun.

    I had same as you. Sold the whole lot for 150 euro. Wasn't long shifting it. Gone inside a week.

    Edit: I see astrobot rescue mission is on cex for a tenner (stock in Letterkenny). Should have got that and threw it in too. Pretty sure once anyone demos that game theyd pay extra. Also worth getting and finishing yourself first if you haven't already. Still haven't found a better VR game.

    Fyi Walkabout Mini Golf on PSVR2 (out May 11th) will have the same "Whole In One" bundle that's now available on Quest. Includes main game and all 10 DLC courses for 35 euro (13 euro saving on quest) so would expect a similar discount for PSVR2. I have them all. Can't recommend enough. Still my favourite Quest 2 game.
