My bundle has shipped from BB. Probably going to start out with EVE and Thumper, maybe Rush of Blood.

When does Farpoint come out?

What the fuck?
Superhypercube is 30$, that seems quite steep. I rellay wanted to play it and thought it would be like a 10$ game but 30...

Is it worth that much money? I thought this was just a tiny arcadey game..

I guess if there are VR porn blu ray or downloads you can transfer?

Bad news: I'm stuck at work for another 5 hours. That thing is just sitting outside. I did not plan this well..... I'm having anxiety attacks.

How far do you live away / can you get back on a break?

So I guess the VR + camera + Move controller bundle isn't global? Can't find a single store in Norway that gets the full bundle tomorrow.

Amazon used UPS for my shipment and it was scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Since they tend to show up at like 8pm I used the website to have the package held for pickup at the shipping facility right down the road from where I live. Now my package is already waiting for me to pick up when I get off work today. WHY IS IT STILL NOT 5pm?

I too have a Sony Rewards Visa & used to to pick up most of the games digitally for "free" with PSN credits from rewards points.

Can you show me this sorcery?

How sir? I'm using the mobile app....should I use the desktop version?

Have or are you susceptible to motion sickness in general? I would guess that could be a telling part?
I can get motion sickness in the car if I'm reading or something like that, but other than that generally no. Although I remember the most recent Wolfenstein game made me feel kinda nauseous for some reason. I've found though that when I eat before going on long road trips I'm able to read or play games without nauseousness setting in. So idk if having an empty stomach makes it worse for me or if that's just in my head haha. But yeah, due to some history of motion sickness, although slight, I'm kind of worried.

This is just irresponsible of the shipper and carrier.

Normally I'm not malicious but them a lesson. Tell them it's not there when you get home. Have them send out a replacement or refund.

Think about the trouble you would legit have to go through if this seriously happened? They need to change that practice.

It's not sadly, not in Europe at all I think. Here in the UK Game are doing their own bundle deals.



On a separate note- picking mine up tomorrow morning. Lets leave money aside for a second. I am willing to buy as many games as are worth buying, big or small. Still no real clue what to get with it. Need help GAF, somebody give me a list I can blindly follow please.

I've never had UPS hold a package. Is it easier then getting it delivered? Like can I pick it up at 10am or whatever? Because UPS doesn't hit my block till 5-6 pm usually.
 
Still not shipped, still supposed to arrive tomorrow. Come on Amazon how fast can this shipping be?
If it does in fact come tomorrow, maybe just a glitch in their system that's showing it as having not shipped but it actually has? I know it wouldn't be the first time that's happened to me before.

Best Buy order just shipped, whoah baby! It's using OnTrac though. I have never heard of this company before.

Easier? No. Faster? Generally. Trucks usually hit the stores earlier so you might be able to pick it up by 11 or 12.

for me I'm doing 2 things to lessen the blow.

1) getting VR from Amazon after i did trade ins and using some points from CC

2) getting PSPro from Best Buy and using my PayPal credit and any points I have.

My CC needs to be paid in full every month, but PayPal lets you pay for most things in 6 months no interest if they are over a certain amount.

I would wait for the 4K sets to refresh this coming spring as well to jump in. The best sets now will be much cheaper in less than a year probably.

I do have some CC points and I have a decent amount of Gamestop credit from some trade ins a while ago that I could put towards the PSVR.

I have been kicking around the 4k idea for awhile and I think there are some good priced ones so I might wait a little longer.

Yeah, I might be a bit more cautious then. Though personally I've only experience the current VR stuff one time, which was a couple days ago at NYCC with a Vive.

I also never really have had any issues with motion sickness or viewing stuff in 3D, so I'm not as worried. Safe bet might be to find a place or buddy to test out a couple demos if you're able and go from there? I got the bundle so I got the Worlds game with that and picked up Eve when it was that $20 mistake on Amazon. Will test out the demos and see how I feel from there before picking up other games.

Got mine from Amazon today. Just tried it. Ahh, freaked out in roller coast part of until dawn rush of blood and had to come back to reality. I think maybe I need to try something a little less motion heavy to start.

Oh my god, I just left my house for a few minutes to buy lunch and when I came back I got a note from UPS they couldn't deliver my package.

What's weird is I told Amazon to ship it to the post box instead but they went to my house anyway.

What do you mean by "freakd out"? You might try Tumble VR or Headmaster. You don't ever move in those.

That's how it works. They were staking your place out, waiting for you to leave before sneaking up to your door and posting the notice. Now you know.

Just played for about 1.5 hours and so far I like it. Felt it a little bit in my stumach after 90 minutes straight of which the last half hour was Rigs.

Started with the Battlezone demo. Just the feeling of actually being inside of a tank is amazing. Same for EVE, when you get launched that's a real HOLY SHIT moment.

For some strange reason though my screen is sometimes a little bit to the left of my position while I'm sitting perfectly straight in front of the camera.

The 'hold options to calibrate' gives wildly different results depending on the game which makes recalibration a bit of a chore.

So far it's been a positive experience but Driveclub VR was the biggest disappointment. That game really looks like 90s VR judging from the demo.
 
Super excited for this evening :) Boyfriend is hooking up the old DK2 so we can mess around with it a little today before we get our PSVR.

I don't have the $$ right now but my buddy plans to buy one (full bundle). I'll be going to his place on Saturday with these:


I hope VR Worlds or some demo's can make good use of these!!!

Going 100% into Move back in the day has prepared me for VR!
