Sweet, can't wait!

 

[olitheoblong]

Does anyone feel they announced VR too early? Should of announced it this e3, my hype has kind of died down for it, although I'll still be buying it, the way I'd do it is announce it this e3 say it's in stores for you to try now and it's avaliable in 4 months.

 

[Movalpolos]

Los Angeles is on the list!

Spoiler

Not that I didn't think they wouldn't bring them here

 

[Collateral22]

Any of these coming to Europe do you guys think?

I feel like PSVR has had very little presence even at E3. I figure there'd be more talk about it given that it launches in four months, and there are 50 games due out in the next six months.

 

[Nakazato]

30mins away oh OK I'll be there next Saturday

Got my wipes ready

 

[half a moon]

4 Ohio cities? They must feel for all the people stuck in Ohio.

 

[Hale-XF11]

I'll get excited when I don't have to drive more than 30 minutes away for a demo.

 

[MiamiWesker]

They mention Ft. Lauderdale but there's a few locations in Miami-Dade as well, including some close to me!

Hopefully it isn't packed on Saturday...

Which!?

Yay Kendall! So on June 24th then. I wonder how it compares to oculus.

 

[Inferno313]

Wait, so is this a special event or are they just installing kiosks that will stay in these stores indefinitely? Because I'll be out of town this weekend, but I live right near one.

 

[The Elite]

I would hope that it's like most VR demos and the store has someone stationed with the unit with wipes ready to use between people.

I tried the Vive yesterday at a Microsoft Store and sweated that shit up like nasty. Glad they wiped it up right after. I felt bad.

 

[Sephzilla]

gross. it's at Gamestop for me here. which is like 10 minutes away.

6/25 Saturday: 11:00 AM-5:00 PM
7/2 Saturday: 11:00 AM-5:00 PM
7/9 Saturday: 11:00 AM-5:00 PM

Best Buy i would have been okay but GS? nah. i'll hold out.

You think the sweaty gross gamers aren't going to go to the kiosk if it's in a Best Buy?

 

[starpiercer]

Nice, this shows that they have confidence in their product. I can see the final revision getting rave reviews when its released.

 

[The Elite]

The only thing that would keep me from doing it in a Gamestop would be store size. It would be like doing it in the back of Volkswagen.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Could a mod specify that this is the USA in the topic title please?

 

[Envelope]

my local best buy 5 minutes away is gonna have it.... woop woop

 

[krae_man]

Any Canadians find dates? There's nothing in southern Ontario which makes no sense.

 

[tcrunch]

oh...


okay...

 

[Dabanton]

30mins away oh OK I'll be there next Saturday

Got my wipes ready

Lol thinking ahead I like it. The headband around it is going to be gross.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I FINALLY get to experience VR tomorrow at 3!

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

Take purell or handiwipes. Major face sweat will be in full effect.

If it's anything like the cons, Sony reps will clean the headset between users.

 

[mreddie]

Zero in Arizona?

NATIONWIDE!

Edit: Okay, 3 BBs are doing it.

 

[RedAssedApe]

is it safe to rub hand sanitizer all over your face?

 

[TheCanisDirus]

4 Ohio cities? They must feel for all the people stuck in Ohio.

Right!? There are some odd choices on that list. No fucking Philadelphia (or PA in general) is one of them. WTF is that?!

 

[Shanlei91]

is it safe to rub hand sanitizer all over your face?

Your skin will dry up. BETTER THAN GETTING ZIKA VIRUS THOUGH.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Exactly... or they put on new foam/rubber pieces like they do with Rift demos.

 

[Grinchy]

Nice, they are actually doing one way closer to me than the first list was showing. I may go and try this out after all.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Sweet they're having one next weekend near me.

 

[iCodec]

Sony's VR presentation at E3 this year was awful and made me question my pre-order. Definitely going to go try it out.

lol in all seriousness though. how have they been handling the cleaning of these headsets in between use at conventions?

 

[brickarts295]

Oh shit they got one just 5 min from where I live.
HYPE!!!

 

[Magicman103]

They've been providing sanitary wipes for people to wipe down the headset.

i didn't mention gamers? i just didn't want to go to Gamestop.

That's pretty cool. The two times I've used a VR set (Amazon and Fox studios) there were no wipes and I casually walked into the bathroom afterwards to wash my face.

Hopefully they wipe them down at Gamestop/Bestbuy. They're demoing it three blocks from my office so it's worth checking out.

 

[jroc74]

Uh oh, I finally get to try a high end VR headset.

And yes I mean PSVR. I tried a mobile phone one from some company I never heard of before. And it was fine.

I expect PSVR to wow me vs that mobile one.

 

[Xenus]

Wow Sony really loves Ohio even including Toledo. I think Ohio might have the most locations.

 

[wenis]

Will need to try one out asap before they get coated in pink eye germs.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

Aw yea they have them at my city. I'm going to try this out for sure.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

I'll try it out in DC.

 

[Crumpo]

Any of these coming to Europe do you guys think?

I expect each retailer will announce some kind of demo program in due course...there's still lots of time!

The biggest problem I see is that all the main videogame retailers in the UK are online...I have had a happy last few years not stepping into a GAME store; I'd like to keep it that way.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Amazing
