This Is What the PS Camera Adaptor for PSVR on PS5 Looks Like

I've gotta say, that is an adapter.

Could been worst!

I'm like 99% sure you've used that sub-header before.

It's like the Ethernet adaptor for Macbooks. Really strange when manufacturers still bust their heads with proprietary connectors, would have been so much better to have a extra USB on the PS4.

@Ridwaano Working in AV for many years i have done this many a time

If I could order one I would be happy enough. Haha.

I’ve got two PSVR headsets. Both say contact the retailer when I input the serial number on their site. The retailer tells me it’s nothing to do with them. Sony’s helpline just cuts off after awhile.

Anyone know if they will be just selling this adaptor?

@SoulChimera If it tells you to call a 800 number, just keep trying and after a while, you will get through.

@GigaGaia Yeah, I tried quite a few times yesterday and I've tried it this morning. I'll see what happens today.

@nessisonett Why is your message blank lol

Wireless vr for ps5 will be so liberating 😂

Why does it he article say shortsightedness and foolishness.
Im sure the ps5 was designed like this on purpose.

Tweet not loading for me. Anyone able to upload a photo of a block of plastic?

There is clearly some electronics going on in that adapter.

@Bagwag82 most probably he was referring to PS4 ... That was foolish to put a proprietary connector.

I wasn’t a big fan of the timeline it proposed when ordering, would be nice if they could have guaranteed it for day 1. Really should just be in the ps5 box.

Look at the bright side. You no longer need a PS4 Camera extension cable once you hook up this baby

I just realised that my PSVR break out box might not rest flat on top of the ps5 as it does on PS4

It looks SEXY Well most things do that are SONY I am waiting for a 'completely' wireless VR from SONY and much smaller to. But saying that I get bad headaches with some normal games so I doubt I could play on VR Oh well.

Ugh. Think I'll wait for the entire PS5 VR kit. hopefully it'll be wireless and come with voice recognition and gloves.

@zimbogamer you know the drill then 😂

@Medic_Alert it is getting better! Universal most of the stuff compare to the 90

Cumbersome, but at least the adapter is free.

@Robinsad PS VR has sold 5 million units. Not all of those are going to upgrade to PS5 at launch. and even the ones that do, not all of them are going to care about bringing last generations headset to the PS5, so adding in a piece of technology in every box (for how long?) when the vast majority are going to throw them out, is not only a huge waste of money, it would also generate millions of units of e-waste.

That being said, I realize that this is not an ideal situation. They could have made this process smoother, and potentially started it much earlier to make sure it wasn't a mad rush to get one before the launch.

@captainsandman I think protocol-wise it's USB but had a custom connector. You can buy AUX to USB adaptors.
Maybe done to stop people plugging any old camera in, or maybe some internal reason, higher speed support for that port?

@SoulChimera its the teeny tiny number on the black box

@TechaNinja The power of crap internet. Either photos aren’t loading for you or I’ve finally broken the ‘hmm, is that it’ message

@vapidwolf yeah, I put that in. Both boxes tell me to contact the retailer. The retailer says it’s nothing to do with them. Haha. Still got nowhere today on the phone. I’ll try again tomorrow.

@SoulChimera No its free so i dont think so.

@thedevilsjester I think you are totally right.

@SilkySmile89 granted but it's a USB 1.0 connection

Looking forward to mine showing up in November

@SoulChimera bit weird that,cool avatar by the way brought back some memories that did 😁
