Au consumer laws should on your side. Plus, you want to exchange, not refund, which is what that's there to discourage. Ask to speak to the manager. And if that doesn't get you a replacement, the threaten to report them to the ACCC.

Awesome! I was looking for to the PSVR Aim. Hopefully Faripoint is good. What if there is a PSVR series? e.g Farpoint 2, Farpoint 3
Yeah, I didn't even want to continue further down that rabbit hole. Pessimistic people and then people trying to defend as usual.
I backed this, too, but it needs a little help to take off - or rather, sink in.
The goal still is very much reachable, if the current accelleration of the funding process holds up. But it will be close. Anyone here in the mood of supporting them and also PS VR as a more diverse platform? You should think (and maybe act) fast, just over 3 days now.
Their previous project Apollo 11 VR will be out in European PSN one day before the kickstarter ends. Maybe someone will do a very quick review, to help the decission making process.
Also just personally interested of seeing more of this in VR. But the early access will not apply to PS VR! Just PC. If you don't have a suitable PC to use your PS VR on that, you will have to wait on the final product.

It's a Sony 55" LED 3D-Ready SmartTV, model #KDL55W800C. It's a decent set, good picture quality and sound, but the OS is garbage. It gets into a weird state every so often where it won't turn on and I have to unplug it and plug it again in to get it working. I've never been able to figure out why. I just chalk it up to Android being a piece of shit.
I picked up a KD55XD8599 last summer. The Android OS is a bit flaky; sometimes when switching inputs it just selects one at random, and I've had the whole thing crash and reboot. It is nice to have Amazon Prime and Kodi native apps, though. I think I've got a notification for an Android upgrade, so we'll see how that goes!
Seems to work well with the Pro, only tried Resogun and Trackmania, but so far so good.
Unless I'm mistaken, it's out in some countries, but no sign of it in France for example ...

Chess Ultra from Ripstone Games will support PlayStation VR. Out this Spring.
Finally had some time again to play a bit, here are the impressions:
Headmaster
The idea behind the game is fairly easy but the game manages to keep everything varied and fun. The tracking works fairly well and you feel like you are in control or at least you know why you missed the target. There is no need to set up the play area in any way.
The humor in this game isn't novel and has been done many times before but it still works. Overall, I would say that I am pretty satisfied with this game if it wasn't for the big difficulty spikes. I am at the halfway point now and some levels are really tough and require you to be pinpoint accurate with several headers after each other.
Maybe I just suck but I think they shouldn't have made the game so difficult, at least not for people aiming for just beating the single player and not beating any highscores.
Lethal VR
What a big disappointment.
It starts of with the game wanting me to change the camera angle upwards (or grow 3 feet) to be able to play it. After doing that, the camera can't track the move if I just leave my arms hanging, leading to annoying rumble notifications about the move being untracked. I had to move back several feet in my play area to make the move trackable again, meanwhile offsetting my (probably needless) camera calibration before.
Only Batman had a worse calibration process so far but at least Batman worked like a charm afterwards.
In Lethal VR, the tracking did have problems when I was dual wielding and had to shoot targets on my side, which led to occlusion of one of the move controllers by the other. Instead of some software side prediction going on about the move placement, you just get annoying poor tracking errors with the rumble notification.
Graphically, the game looks quite bad and the menus look super cheap. I had a mission where I needed to shoot a baddy in a crowd of civilians and those bad guys were not always easily to recognize.
When the game works (single wielding pistols), it can be a fun shooting gallery. But we have enough PSVR games with shooting elements and everything else about this game is just bad. I am quite disappointed what those ex-Criterion developers delivered.
DON'T BUY IT!!!

Haven't visited this thread in quite some time but with my GF finally getting a job, me getting some extra bonus on the latest paycheck and my upcoming birthday PSVR is looking mighty tempting. The major thing holding me back is the Vanilla vs Pro experience. Now that the Pro has been out for awhile how big of improvement is it? Is it still worth picking this up with a standard PS4?

I finally got to try PSVR at my friend's house out of state. Absolutely blew my mind! You really do have to experience it first-hand, I was very impressed.
I did get a bit motion sick, but nothing too bad. I'm sure I would adjust over time. However, there was a major issue trying to get the display in sharp focus. It seemed even at it's best it was still pretty blurry.... is that normal?

Titanic VR kickstarter reached their goal. PS VR is a lock. Releasing later this year.

Looks like I'm buying Pure Chess again then!
Yes, it's still worth it with a standard PS4. Remember all the footage from gaming events, and people playing on the show floors of those events, prior to PSVR's launch, all ran through original PS4's.

Mostly. I mean you can adjust the headset to a point where it's largely in-focus, but stuff in your peripheral will never be crisp. There is definitely a sweet spot. When you're playing something though, you really stop noticing.

915K units sold through as of February 19

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
The game has 6 chapters for PS4 with 3 VR-specific chapters for PSVR
Sparc announced for Vive/Rift/PSVR

That isn't EVE related. Interesting. Is that the first time CCP Games have made a game that isn't set in that franchise.
How does that compare with the others?

No sales number for the others.
Neither Oculus nor Valve have released exact sales numbers, though the hints they've dropped indicate that PS VR is the clear leader. There's a chance it may even beat both numbers combined.

John Harker said PSVR is selling a little more than Rift + Vive combined

He used to leak NPD numbers

Would the image be better with Pro vs OG PS4? And does 3D work from any source (such as USB or streaming from the Media player or Netflix) or only from the Blu-ray drive?
Sorry for the misinformation, I mis-read one of the comments.
Happy to see they reached their goal. I'd really like to see more apps like it come out on PSVR.

no motion sickness? i was interested in it but that's all i ever hear talked about with this game :\

Played it as well and zero issues, only game that's given me troubles is Scavengers Odyssey on my day of purchase.
Fwiw, for my friend and I that both have PSVRs, Robinson is the only game that gives us both quite bad motion sickensss. I can only usually play 10-15 mins at a time. From memory, I think it's the only game I get that from.

graphics is good but I feel it only render at 1080, event on the pro, the best looking game PSVR I play until now is Bound, what a beautiful game with 4k render. Hope PSVR 2 will fully 4k render for all game
This one? Banderas before Joel.
Edit: I think you meant the head nod with Joel. Still, this one is good - brings back memories from the original Banderas gifs.
