Sony Is Sending Select PlayStation Plus Members PSVR Bundles for Free

BRILLIANT idea Sony. Hope it works out for you. Try it with some vitas as well 😊

Huh, that's pretty cool. I got a code but I'm not a big fan of skyrim

Sounds like a good idea. Not sure how they'll deal with units involved in accidents though, could be messy. Not exactly an indestructible bit of kit.

Wow, I'm going to check my email.

This is why I added Rush of Blood to my Library.

What do they mean by put a hold on your credit card? Does that mean that reserve $299 until you return it? Or does that mean they just need your information do to this? I know they need your card information but say I have less that $300 on my debit card, does this mean I can't do it?

They need to know you can pay for it, if you keep it.

Sounds fair enough, but you have to have room on your card.

Shucks, I got this email, but I apparently didn’t see it soon enough. I clicked the link in the email but got this message...

“THE ENTHUSIASM FOR TRYING PS VR IS OVERWHELMING
We're sorry, we have reached the maximum number of users who could sign up to try PlayStation VR. Please check your email for future programs from PlayStation.”

Oh well, better luck next time I guess... would have been a good opportunity to try it out and maybe even keep it at that price.

So they just ship it to you? Can't pick up at a store?

Well that's one way to try it! I wish..

Dang I wonder if I would have qualified had I not just bought one.

It's a good move. Trying it is the best, perhaps only, way, to promote this, but they really can't set them up in kiosks. I seriously considered getting one this Christmas but we got a Switch instead, next year PSVR is atop the Christmas list unless something else big and videogame hardware related comes along, but I think it's still too soon for PS5.

Well either PSVR or a 3D printer, my kid still wants one of those.

I tried to sign up 90 minutes after getting the email and got this message

@get2sammyb Madness, you say?....No! This is VRtaa!!!......🤣

Seriously though, describing VR to someone who hasn’t tried it doesn’t work because, as you know, it’s such a subjective experience, so I think this is great move on Sony’s part.

@FooYooChingDong I wasn't a big fan of skyrim, either, but VR is something else. Hoo boy, it makes a game I previously deemed too boring to play so much more fun.

this would be pretty pointless in Europe as we can already try anything bought online for 14 days and send it back no questions asked.

I bought psvr recently for 250 euro. I'm impressed but looking forward for some good games. I played resident 7 rez infinite batman robinson. It is realy another world.

I was really worried about motion sickness. I'm in my forties now. I played at intervals of no more than 90 minutes each. Sometimes less depending on the game. I did fine. Stay on the couch if you feel tired just put it off and take a break. You should be fine. I also experienced all the games on the second lot. We are going to have a good year in psvr. Also normal mediocre games do feel a little special as well. Try it.

@kyleforrester87 Motion sickness is something you get used to. I got a little bit sick a year ago when I played my first PSVR games and now I can run fast in any game with free locomotion without having any problems at all.

@FooYooChingDong Just Sell Skyrim and buy other games. There are a lot of very good VR games out there.

@manu0 true, except for the price

Too bad this was limited, I was going to check my email after I get home from a short trip.

@lixei32 where did you get it for 250?

@manu0 second hand my friend. Went tried it got it. With it Robinson batman and rush of blood. Pretty good deal I think.

Nice idea, but here's a slightly unsavoury thought...

Suppose you get a number of people who return the PSVR for whatever reason. What are they going to do with those?

They can't sell them as new, and to be honest, given that someone may have been sweating on it (plus potential contagious skin condition issues), and the ear buds have been in someone else's ears, I personally certainly wouldn't want a second hand unit.

So...?

Got one in a black friday deal - this thing is incredible, way more than I expected it to be!

I looked so far at game reviews to get impression of how it looks, and I guess like a few others wasn't really impressed. However, you can't get the way it feels at all this way. Inside the VR the experience is so much magnified and glorious. All family and friends who tried it reacted with WOW. Highly recommend to try an actual device and not judge it based on internet videos.
