I heard a demo of pink eye is also included in this. Anyone know if that's true?
Hells yeah baby, just moved here 3 weeks ago I commute into the city for work but had to get out of that place (not a big fan of paying $3700/month for a one bedroom apartment)Dublin CA? Might as well be Dublin Ireland.
If you actually went to one of these demos, you'll realize that the headset is wiped top to bottom with actual cleansing wipes for about a minutes after each person is done.
If you tried this out you'll also realize that unlike the Rift and the Vive, it's nigh impossible for the headset lenses to touch your eyes. With my glasses the lenses were nowhere near even my frames.
The guy at my demo didnt do that. One person passed it to the next.
At one point he also walked away to take a phone call.
Hello my brethren! Thinking of hitting up Summerlin tomorrow.

Got to try Eve Valkyrie and Battle zone this time. Holy shit I'm sold.
I First played Battle Zone. I Wanted to try this game first because I'm very prone to motion sickess in first person games. I threw up once a long time ago just watching my friends play Golden Eye on N64. While I'm super excited for VR I'm still not sure where my tolerance level will be. Despite the fast pace of Battle Zone I didn't get motion sick at all. I did feel weird the first time I sidestafed, drove backwards then spun in a circle. But at that point I was blasting so many targets any since of discomfort went away and I felt completely fine by the end of the demo.
I showed up too late at my BB but they said they'll be back tomorrow.
Seeing how they had it set up, is it not a good idea to bring a six year old? Is there an age limit even? Not sure how it'll work with a line of people watching you play.
Oh ok. Thank you. My son will be disappointed he won't be able to try out "VCR" (lol) but better to find out now than while in line. Guess I'm flying solo.There was a sign up that said you have to be 12 years of age to try it out.

I'm going to say there's a very strong possibility the headset wasn't seated on your face properly. When I first put it on, I had similar issues, to the point where it was even hard to tell what I was looking at. I remembered we could adjust the display<->eye distance, so I started fiddling with that and while I was trying to decide which distance was ideal, I accidentally pushed the entire headset down lower on my face — brow to chin — and suddenly everything snapped in to focus and looked great after that.For starters, when I was still on the VR home screen, two things stood out to me. There seemed to be a bit of a rainbow effect going on and the text wasn't crisp; it was heavily aliased and looked very low res.
First of all while the headset felt somewhat comfortable, I tried setting the focus but never felt like I got it right.
There was also a considerable amount of light bleeding through the bottom of the eye piece which prevented a fully immersive experience.
On to the demo, I opted for the tank game after being told that best buy would not allow the heist to be played.
The graphics seemed very low res but the motion felt smooth enough to mask the sharp edges.
I hope that PSVR will be able to offer better graphics down the road, I may jump in 2-3 years after release as right now its a "watch and see".
They need to keep existing pre-orders for people who ordered to be safe but are very skeptical. Also they are likely to open more orders as the year goes on.why are they demoing this when it's sold out
Farpoint Edit: … is the game it'll likely come with. It's actually called the PlayStation VR Aim Controller.I remember reading Sony is working on some new type of VR controller? Was I wrong or maybe it was the PS Shooter 2.0 thing with that MarsVR game?
It's pretty sweet.Im busy tomorrow so Im not sure I can make it to my nearest BB
Valkyrie is really good, and the action encourages you to look around and soak in the entire environment. Battlezone also (looked) good, but it seems easier to let that one devolve in to a more passive experience. Super Hyper Cube looked pretty good for encouraging head movement, as you need to peek around the current block to see what shape the next hole is. I played Headmaster too, and obviously that's pretty good for immersion and "getting involved."Probably going to check my local BB out either this weekend or next. Any standout demos that I should prioritize?
It sorta just depends, but I expect they'll get busier as word gets around. If you show up early and it's relatively slow, they'll probably let you try it a couple of times though.Holy crap when they first announced it there was no best buy at least 1 hour away from me doing this.
Just checked again and the Best Buy 3 minutes from me is doing it.
Anyone have an idea of how long of a line to expect or how early one should go?
The fuck? Sounds like Sony need to do a little more screening and training here. The woman that's running our demos seems nice enough, but she's certainly no font of gaming and tech knowledge, and it sounds like other cities got stuck with some real slackers =/Drove 88 miles from Naples to Miami today not just for vr but I still went out my way. Got to best by at 650 it was supposed to be there until 830 and was told the guy had left early. Fucking gutted
The guy I spoke to wasn't the brightest as well. He would of totally sold it me if it the dude had left it there lol.It sorta just depends, but I expect they'll get busier as word gets around. If you show up early and it's relatively slow, they'll probably let you try it a couple of times though.

I'm feeling kind of mixed after having tried it out. I tried out the Shark demo and while the headset was comfortable and responsive, visually I was a bit let down. It wasn't so much the graphics though but the screen quality.
For starters, when I was still on the VR home screen, two things stood out to me. There seemed to be a bit of a rainbow effect going on and the text wasn't crisp; it was heavily aliased and looked very low res. So the first impression right off the bat was significantly worse than just looking at a TV. Everything just looked lower res in the interface.
Once I was in the shark demo, things looked a bit soft rather than crisp. Is there a focus knob? Everything was so soft looking. Then I noticed what reminded me of the problem visually with the Vita's OLED screen. Now I'm either seeing the same effects of the Vita or this was the screen door, but there was a grainy artifact going on. It didn't look like the usual screen door of the Oculus DK2. It looked more like this:
Finally, I didn't feel immersed with the presence in the demo. I was expecting to really feel immersed, but I didn't really feel there. I can't put my finger on why, as other VR demos I've tried on Oculus were fine, but something about this one didn't pull me in.
I'm still going to buy one, but the demo that I thought I'd show my wife as her first experience with modern VR made me second guess if I should show that to her at all.
Any confirmed locations in Canada yet?
