I really enjoy it. When its in full flow, the matches are well balanced and a ship you like it is fantastic. I think the single player content is poor though and it can be a bit of a grind once you get the 3rd ships and get to level 15. It does have a steep learning curve but not off putting.
The biggest negative I have about the game is when you get put against squads when playing on your own as you will get crushed and really not fun when that happens.
The strange thing is, I have tried it in pitch black, with lights on, lights dimmed, and it still does it. Just started Resi up and the desk on the title screen is wobbling around now. Really lost
Look for reflective materials that are behind you, as there are lights on the the back of the headset any reflective materials will pick up the lights. Also have you done the headset calibration that is in the system settings? Usually when I have moved the headset to a new location I will get a slight judder until i have done that.
I also find that if you can get the headset to be as close to the centre of the frame the better the tracking will be. When it comes to games standing up the further away the camera is the better due to having full range of motion with the moves without going towards the edges of the frame but there is a distance that is outside of the good tracking area (there is a good guide online by the devs behind Job Simulator for this). Sitting down is the easiest to get sorted but standing up is trickier but certainly doable just takes a bit longer to understand where the perimeters are. Once you get it down it then is really easy to set up.

lol, good to see that 70% of development team is still working on it.
Hopefully the VR content is good if that many are working on it.

But it's wasn't representative of what we'll get..
so we don't know what we'll get
I know, still fingers crossed.

Great idea, I'm not sure what way you tidied the right earpiece but after trying a few different ideas this is the best I could figure out.
I popped off the back foam and unscrewed the plastic hoop the cable runs through and put the left earpiece through that. Reattached it all then ran the wire for the right headphone along the top of the back plastic where the cog is, you can make it out on the picture, I'm pointing at it. I poked bits of it in so it's nice and snug. This way both right and left dangle at almost the same length. Nice and tidy.
Good looking out Leondexter!
I just ran it along the groove just above the one you're pointing at, tucked it into the ends much as you have, and secured it with a little tape. I may re-do it like you did, though, that looks very nice!

So how was it bud? Still no issues with HDCP on?

Yup, usually I don't notice anything unusual during any VR game so far. But an intense round of RIGS with lots of jumping and fast movement even makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. Not that I need to throw up, just a little dizzy, like when you get out of a rollercoaster.
No there is a bug, even if you arent syncing, uploading or downloading, it stays on forever in rest mode, for many people, myself included. But it should work as you describe.
So when I play holo ball or super hyper cube, the controller seems to have trouble tracking. Like it spazes out for a second and jumps around. Sometimes even if I hold it still. The headset seems to be fine
Is this the rest mode bug thing? Is that still an issue? Do I need to power cycle?
I've done the calibration for the move and the dual shock.
I also have hue let's and set them to max brightness and white in my room. Should I change that?

Does anyone know when amazon will restock it?

FWIW, it looks like GameStop has the Until Dawn: Rush of Blood bundle in stock.

I saw them at Meijer and Target the other day. I don't think core units are rare if you are willing to hit a few big box stores.
It's a preorder, release date is Feb 21.

Yeah, but I'd like to get some amazon rewards points.
Movies that are filmed in 3D or are animated/CGI will be better than the ones that are converted from 2D to 3D because it's never perfect even with manual editing. They tend to give you eye strain.
Edit: see these lists for real or converted 3D:

HDCP on, but actually had a big (3 second) drop out at the VERY start of the link up/handshake after that it was rock solid all night. So maybe there is a fix in there, will test more tonight too.
I Expect You To Die is finally up on the UK PSN Store (and I assume the rest of Europe too?)

£20 might be a bit steep for me as I'm waiting for Psychonauts.
EDIT: according to the blog, apparently it's only currently available for Aus, Czech, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, NZ, Slovakia, UK. Weird.

Thanks!
The real or fake list is very interesting. Your point about 2D conversions leading to poor viewing experiences is reflected in many of the reviews of "3D" movies.

In other news, I decided to look on YouTube for an "all cutscenes" video of Psychonauts to prepare me for The Rhombus of Ruin. I have a sealed copy of the game for the original Xbox and I know it's cheap on PSN and the App Store (I'm a Mac guy), but I'm in the middle of a few games right now, I don't want to add another to the mix.
I wonder how much Rhombus is going to cost, or moreover, if it's going to be digital-only or physical as well.

Don't buy the PSN version, it's trash.
PC version is best. It doesn't take long to play Psychonauts and I highly recommend it.

Does the Battlefront mission have any Pro updates?
This isn't always the case, The Avengers for example is easily one of the best 3D blu-rays available, Gravity is another high-profile conversion job. Post-conversions can be very convincing when done properly and with care, problem is they are usually rush-jobs.

I do have some cash in my account on Xbox Live from Bing (Microsoft) Rewards that's expiring soon if I don't use it. Maybe I'll buy the Xbox version from there (it's the same price) so I don't have to open the sealed copy I have. I don't generally play games on my laptop. I much prefer to park my ass on the couch, sit back, and play games on a TV.

Mind if I ask where you ordered this from, and if you got a bundle or just the headset? I've been looking all over for a starter bundle (w/ camera and 2 moves) but everywhere I look is sold out except for resale (and for about $200-$300 more than MSRP). Really want to get one but it's already an expensive purchase...can't handle the after-market markup.
Nice, supporting the 'burgh's gaming scene. I was at their office a few weeks ago and tried that out as well as Budget Cuts, SuperHOT, and Bullet Train. Made me a believer and is the reason I'm jonesing for a PS VR.

It's a laggy emulation of a mediocre PS2 port.
I'm spoiled given that I have a PC plugged into my plasma. This lets me play Psychonauts in native 1080p with a 360 controller.

I'm sure if you post it with a decent price in the BST thread, someone would bite.

YES! I tried this recently and was incredibly impressed with how it worked and felt.
I tried Gravity 3D blu ray today. Definitely a cool way to watch it. I wanted to try it with audio coming through sound system but it only let me use headphones. I tried regular Blu ray version and it worked fine. Any idea why 3D version doesn't work?
Yeah, the ribbon surfing sequences are quite impressive now, as I'd imagined they would be.

Anyone know if the VR Worlds bundle will be restocked at GameStop? Or is the Rush of Blood bundle replacing it?

My word Bound looks amazing. I should have tried this out earlier, certainly going to buy this.
Now I really want Unfinished Swan, Journey, Abzu, and Flower in VR.

It looks rough. I also wonder if this is all the game has to offer in terms of speed. Guess this is one to avoid?
The steam reviews are very positive: http://store.steampowered.com/app/492710/
But yeah, I am also waiting for impressions.

Only had mine for a few days, I wish there wasn't added 'VR Tax' on these games, a lot of them have no way got enough content to justify the price, there are definitely few game I want but I think I'm going to hold out for a sale, outside of game pricing though I've been quite impressed with it, Thumper demo was amazing.

Studio Roqovan (World War Toons Dev) teams up with SNK Corporation to bring content to their VR Projects.

nice to see SNK interested in VR.

They just had a sale on practically all the games.

I must've just missed that, I've only had my headset a couple of days, oh well, that bodes well for a future sale again I suppose, maybe Easter.
I've way over done it tonight, must of spent a good five hours playing demos, feeling a little queasy now tbh, RE7 demo was very impressive, after about ten mins you just forget about the resolution and you feel like you're actually there, I've never in my life been creeped out by any video game but playing that in VR on your own at night is not easy!

Sadly it seems that the screen blacking out has not been fixed on the Pro in the new 4.5 BETA firmware for PSVR Really hope that there is a fix for this as certain games it's imperative you keep view at all time. DRIVECLUBVR being one of them!
