I've only tried a handful of games so far
Hatsune Miku VR works as advertised, a fun experience for the miku fan
Tumble VR - will probably be my go to example to show someone VR gaming from what I've seen so far. The 1:1 mapping and stationary gameplay leaves zero chance of motion sickness and its easy to pick up and entirely inoffensive.
Super Stardust VR add on - this is hot garbage. The mode is miles away from the fast feel of the original game, slow, clumsy, also spin that camera around to fast and I was feeling sick.
Thumper - My favourite experience so far. Love it. Must play more.

Does it work with Netflix ?
Is it good to watch movies with ?

It does.
It is awesome in that youi can a have a 120" screen right infront of your face whilst lying down. Its not that great in that the resolution does hold it back. A HD Video looks more like a DVD in it.
But its awesome nonetheless.
i will use this definately.

Thanks. You kinda confirmed my fear with stardust. Too bad, I love the game
The tracking of the headset was flawless for me during my first hour session. I was not in complete darkness but had no direct sunlight in the room, was standing 1.5m from the camera, with the camera on top of my 55" TV.
All in all, as long as you are in the field of view of the camera, you are tracked at 120Hz or whatever (smooth!). No jitter, no drift, no nothing. That's my experience at least.
The controller tracking is another story. In the playroom VR you see the DS4 model in your hands and it sort of jitters a little. But the thing is it doesn't matter there since it has no effect on your perception of presence. I just found that it was good enough and didn't think more of it.
I have yet to try the move controllers.
the new camera has a grip...

The old one does too, you just have to buy it separately in the EU for some reason.
Thanks SIEE.

I could have sworn I read that, while Stardusts' new VR mode wasn't very good, the entire game was also updated to support play in VR. That's why I bought it, anyway
Did you try playing the regular modes in VR? You should be able to and I'm wondering if that is cool.
Thanks for the impressions!
Oh ok! I didn't know that!
For what I heard it should be better if the camera is on top of the TV to avoid tracking issues with the move controllers...
Where are the options for the advanced calibration? And is it really recommended that the camera be above the TV? I've kept mine at the bottom and it seems to work fine.
The issue with my setup is that there isn't any room for me to put it directly on top of the TV: it would have to be a couple of feet above it, where I have a stand acting as the TV's "roof".

The new media player 2.50 is supposed to support 360 videos. Should be released in not too long.
Crazy that this isn't available at launch, but I wonder what kind of media this will support. Like, will this work in conjunction with the browser?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
From what I recall, I don't think you can do this, can you?
To be clear it's not a headset overheating warning, it's the VR Breakout processing unit and the link does specifically mention that it is a possibility (though they always have that warning on these things). There's a distinct error on the box lights and on screen.
It just seems odd because it's really not in a warm environment or running for very long. I have a second order arriving today i may try the other box to see if is environment, the PS4 or the box itself

The update was pushed to me last night (east coast NA).
Also, for those discussing... 360 degree video does not necessarily mean 3D. 360 degree video is flat but you can look around. 3D is what we want / are wondering about.
Sorry but by stereoscopic 3D do you mean, "I have to wear special glasses" 3D?

Well Best Buy and Amazon had stock online as of maybe an hour ago (last time I checked) so that's an option if you want. In fact Amazon with 2 day Prime shipping is getting mine here with guaranteed delivery on Saturday. So stock still exists, but I imagine it's going to be very hit and miss walking into a store at this point and grabbing one. Not saying it can't happen, but online is probably the only way to guarantee one soon at this point.

I'm loving it and the headset is comfy which was a surprise for me. Hopefully psn is not throwing a fit now so I can buy rigs.
Can you buy Playstation world or is just a demo?

Better warn her. That experience can be pretty debilitating for some folks sensitive to that.

Well, you are wearing special glasses
If you look at this content with non-VR display it looks like two identical videos side by side. The 3D you're thinking of superimposes the 2 images.
Similar concept, different execution
I think the FAQ is saying they do not support what you're talking about. I'm hoping they support the side by side stuff.

Got my headset!!!! Going to try it shortly.
Really enjoying my experience so far.
I'm not sure if this is normal but when the camera screen pops up that tells you to center your head within a certain area, is the image supposed to be inverted?
Everything still works fine tracking-wise but for some reason it always shows this inverted image in the preview.

Where did you get the Danganronpa Demo? :O
I think you'll be better off with Battlezone or Rigs. There's not much to Eve and the multiplayer isn't that deep and single player is basically non-existent. Add to that, the game also has tons of micro-transactions.
It's on Japan and Asia PSN but only for PS+
The PS+ trial should work though imo
Super salty, at least we get 25USD PSN credit for compensation.
That sucked. Good thing for me I can still hold off for a month before I buy here in MY.

Interesting. Does this work for games or only movies?
Not yet but Amazon had digital for 20 bucks so I picked it up earlier last week. Will play it Saturday.
i did try RIGs, didnt really enjoy it, i do see though that the PS4 launch has added two more story missions to Eve, daily challenges and co op survival?
