Get a phone charger for the controller, that's that taken care of.
The reason I want that third USB-port is because my setup looks horrible when I use the ones in front. Now I only have to use them for backups and the like.

Whoah totally into this with a good custom soundtrack I will loose hours in VR.
News keep coming in this morning.
19.99 in the US. (So 26.99 if it follows the trend in Canada). Was going to pass because Nov 29 is already FFXV and Steins;Gate 0. But at that price. Free Radical (well ex-devs from that studio) can get my money right away.
Nice! November 29th too. Damn. This one will have to wait. Hopefully, like usual, they have a table or two for free.

Wow..never heard of How We Soar till now.
Been feeling really down about the games that came out the last few weeks, How We Soar reminds me of the first two weeks of PSVR. The "looks good", "price good" "give it a shot" weeks.

I beleive some dingle player content maybe coming, or at least dome missions or something.
Yep, two on the front and one rear port.
Ditto, as much as I wanted the increased visuals for PSVR games (and non-PSVR as well), the rear USB port was what sealed it for me.

Everytime I talked myself out of getting the PRO and started thinking about it's PROs and CONs the deciding vote always went to the rear USB port. It's been the best part of owning one.
No more stupid USB cable looped around the front.
No need to juggle ports for things like the Move Controllers when charging, the Gold USB Dongle and the CronusMax for my Elite controller.

Thinking about grabbing Tumble VR with my $10 credit. I've heard a lot of positives about it

It's a very good game.
We don't have a term for it but it's used as a half way VR experience at my house. Girlfriend wants to play something..she'll play Tumble, no headphones, while I am watching something on TV. It's a pretty relaxing game, you don't need to be all the way inside the matrix to enjoy it.

If you're still on the fence what really sealed it for me was the opportunity to easily swap in a faster and larger hard drive.
Once this bad boy (2TB Seagate FIrecuda SSHD) arrived from Amazon I popped by a Best Buy to get my Pro, went home, put it in the Pro then transferred everything from my OG PS4.
Going from constantly deleting/reinstalling/downloading games, patches and add-ons to having everything on the system with over 500GB free is so nice. When you consider the space the OS takes up you're actually increasing the PS4 storage almost 6 fold when upgrading to 2TB (compared to the OG PS4's 500GB drive).
Plus the SSHD should load everything faster than the standard drive that comes with the system, now that Hitman is fully downloaded again I'll put that to the test.

Got the PRO the day it came out homie.
Put the same model 2TB HDD I put in my PS4 into the PRO. So now I have 2 PS4's with 2TB's each. The old PS4 automatically became the "backlog" machine.

I've had a 4TB drive in my ps4 for a few years and it's the only way to go IMO. I still have an entire TB free.

I just tried to play Robinson again using Sea Bands. Still can't do it.
Took a couple of Ginger Pills and will give it another try in a half hour.
Not expecting better results...
Only good thing I can say is it looks incredible on the PRO. Huge improvement.

Do you have the smooth turning off?

Is that the pie chart turning? I have that on. It helps a lot but it's pretty annoying trying to get in front of something. It's like a game into itself trying to position yourself in front of a button.
But it's the forward movement that fucks me up. I try looking at the sky when going forward and that makes it a little better. But I don't want to play the game when all I keep thinking about is how I am going to accomplish my next footsteps.

The newest patch for Robinson The Journey that was released the other day definitely did something to help with motion sickness.
I couldn't play it for more than 15 minutes before but now I can easily play an hour or more. I played about 1.5 hours last night and was finally able to get deeper into the game.
I really enjoy it and love the exploration.

Underrated post.
The demo has VR areas. Its short but gives you the idea.
Keep playing until you try the one that goes straight up and straight down.
Is that though the Nyko Data Bank or did you find one that fits inside the PS4? Do you have the model number handy?

I would guarantee these are not issues with PS VR, but rather the HDMI cable used. Audio and video dropouts are always due to a handshake problem or a signal dropoff, which can nearly always be attributed to the cable itself. Get some quality HDMI cables, like Blue Jean Cables or MonoPrice. Using the included HDMI cable with the PS4 Pro to connect to the Processing Unit should also do the trick.

A Few Questions:
1. Has anyone seen a link to HoloBall on the PSN Store? Supposedly comes out tomorrow...
2. When does NBA2K VR release? Saw above that it's $14.99. Great price...
3. Has anyone tried Pixel Gear yet? I hear some good things about the tracking....is the game worth ten bucks?
4. Was seriously considering hitting the buy button for Tumble VR. Didn't love it with the DS4 controller. I read that the full game has MOVE support. Is the experience much better?

1) It should popup tomorrow.
2. No idea.
3) Yeah. It's pretty simple but fun. Considering most games are > $20 for VR, it's worth it.
4) It works well enough. If you like the concept, go for it.

Do all psvr units have these wierd kind of dots in the screen in certain parts of vr games, like when the screen is black I can't see them but on some parts I can. Almost look like stars but all over the screen only in certain situations. It's definitely not dead pixels or anything like that.
Yes. That's a side effect of using an OLED display, and some games not allowing the screen to go reach 0 ire black levels.
Some do however (the PS4 menu before launching a game, if you look to the side, you can see it's perfectly black).
Sometimes I see random white dots towards the edges of the screen. Almost as if the scene is being rendered?

Change log states it just updated the credits.
i have a question about move controllers. maybe somebody can help:
1) when i'm using them and i'm in a game, can i end the game and get back to the main psn menu using the move controllers? or must i hit the center button on a regular controller?
i just want to put in a plug for bound. man that game is gorgeous. i had been nervous about the controls and camera because it looks weird in videos, but when you're in control it plays great

1. Tomorrow morning, when the PS Store updates says Devs
2. Tomorrow, releases on all VR headsets says UploadVR.
3. Definitely worth the $10 tfor amazing tracking and future multiplayer DLC.
4. Yes, extremely better with move support, has a lot of levels worth the $10.
Yes, you can use the move controller to exit to the main menu, as a bonus you can navigate the menu with either voice recognition via the headset mic (just say playstation) or the move controller by holding the T button and swiping directions.

Yep, there's a Playstation button on the Move controller so you can access the OS at any time.
To move around the menus with it like you would with the Dpad or left analog stick, you have to hold the trigger on the Move controller down while turning the controller in the direction you want to go. It's clunky.

The move controllers also have a PlayStation button on them under the Move button.

I wouldve paid an extra $100 for a PS4 Pro with the PSVR connections already built in. My wire clutter OCD is driving me nuts with the stupid breakout box. Also the base cord on the headset needs to be about 5" longer so the extension box doesnt swing around and hit your ankles
This is one area that Apple does very well... I would embrace a single USB-C cord for the headset

Dang. was excited about NBA2KVR because I thought it was going to be more like this:

instead of a series of shooting challenges.

Well crap, that was the only vr video app on the PS4 with a decent selection of videos. I was kinda wondering what their business model was, maybe they were hoping some investors would see the numbers they pulled with PSVR's launch and give them another round of VC.
I guess I have to hope Youtube gets a PSVR app out soon.

Huh, was just watching some stuff on it yesterday and found a few cool 3D videos. I hope something much better replaces it in time however, it crashes all the time.

Fuck! Sony and YouTube need to hurry up and update the YouTube app and Media player app. I got banned too when I uploaded some porn too lol. Once they go down we are screwed since they are the only VR video app worth a damn.
Forward move goes where ever you physically look with your head to, and you can (slowly)side strafe in a pinch too, so you don't really need the right stick turning outside of bigger turns.HIGH DEF JEFF said:
Granted that will not help with your front movement comfort issue, but all the same...
