Do they take returns based on "This didn't work out for me?" on electronics/games?

Just curious, but are any of you guys with preorders a little worried that PSVR may not be the best access point for VR experiences simply because it's hooked up to a PS4? I look at some of the random games on steam that work with the Vive and they look so dumb, fun, and strange, I would hate to not be able to experience them simply because of how the PS4 is a closed off platform.
You can pick any reason really and they will take it back. It's an automated process on other electronics I've returned.
It's set for the first half of 2017, and currently only announced for SteamVR IIRC.
When it was announced I was actually impressed by Bethesda -- they found the only thing which will make me buy Fallout 4
The stuff on pc is usually early access experimentation. If they ever mature into full games i'd expect they'd be ported across anyway. Especially if PSVR turns out to be more popular than the competition. The more people able to buy the games the more money they can make. I mean things like job simulator is already there and the modern zombie taxi company seems to be offering the same sort of zany weirdness i think you're talking about. It should be fine. Its certainly not a worry of mine.

Ok so giant bomb have had problems with there psvr.. now it's not like no one else has tried it.. I'd like to know if people who tried the demos in stores have had similar experience.. or can we only use giant bomb as a reference here?
Im betting that with every hardware launch there will be some duds in the mix.. but I'm still looking forward to getting mine to complement my vive
GameSpot and Game Informer didn't have those problems. Game Informer guys are actually "impressed" by the tracking. They said it's better than expected.
I hope Giant Bomb get new headsets for next week's stream. or borrow GameSpot's.

It's a worry of mine. I really want to get into VR, but I would hate spend money on a headset and not be able to experience everything that is out there. Weighing my options.

Dumb question : has any gaming outlet extensively tested the cinematic mode ? (the console's 2D display as if you were in a big theater). It kind of interests me a lot.
Thanks !
Thanks !

Ok
it's just I didn't here this complaint from the store demo thread.. so it's very strange what's happening.. I don't think they are lying, just not sure how to take the info Now people can experience the abomination that is this garbage excuse of a software in virtual reality as well! I'd rather be in a complete dark room in VR than go back to that shit.It's set for the first half of 2017, and currently only announced for SteamVR IIRC.

You will never experience everything out there anyway due to platform exclusivity. same as gaming in general. You just need to decide if you would rather play, say, rigs and driveclub, or say, budget cuts and superhot VR (again, i assume these are the experimental experiences you're talking about?
Truly this is the worst timeline.
Sadly, you won't be able to experience everything out there on any single HMD.
Certainly not on the Rift, which currently has the most limited library.
Certainly not on the PSVR - with its lack of room-scale and 360° tracking there are a great many games already available on the Vive which simply aren't possible on PSVR.
Also not the Vive. While most third party PSVR content is very likely to eventually make it over, Sony's own first party exclusives obviously won't.
I'd argue that in terms of distinct experiences it enables, the Vive is far ahead of the other current alternative, simply because it supports all currently available modes of VR play (seated/cockpit, standing 180°, standing 360°, room-scale).
Can't say I've seen extensive impressions, but I did hear someone in one of the hands-on previews mention it. The GameInformer one maybe? I've seen too damn many lol.
Anyway, it sounded like basically you're presented with a gigantic 200in presentation of whatever movie you're watching. That sounded great to me but he went on to say that the resolution leaves a lot to be desired since it's not native. I'm not sure how much of a hit we're talking about here so more detailed impressions would be great.
So i've been preordering my Launch games and so far I have Until Dawn and R.I.G.S with Batman VR and Here They Lie digitally which leaves me with wanting to get one more game. I can't decide between EVE: Valkyrie, PSVR Worlds (think Heist looks pretty cool) and Loading Human (premise sounds pretty cool but don't know enough about it.
I'm a bit puzzled as to why other PSN regions already have prices and pre-orders available digitally for PSVR games, but North America has yet to do this.

Still nothing about cinematic mode? I pretty much know what to expect (resolution wise an all that) but I wouldn't mind seeing some reactions about playing normal games in it.

2 quick questions:
Can PSVR be used without a TV?
How small can the headset be adjusted? I'm sure my 5 year old will want to try it.

Yes....but you will need the TV initially of course to set up.
It's not recommended for young young children but the headset is very adjustable.

Here I showcase the absolutely horrible drifting and jittering of the PS Move, rendering it totally unusable:

Seated 1.5 meters away from the PS3 camera. Game is Time Crisis 4. Lights on or off make no difference.

I have a PSVR pre ordered and I am quite excited about it even though there are some tracking issues with it. Most reviews seem positive about it. Since Micrososft mentioned VR when announcing the Scorpio if that headset will be more like the Vive and Oculus and have room scale VR and have better motion controls than the PS Move.
User123456

Did you watch the video? That's precisely the point!
Confirmed!
Taking into account the various reviewers that experiences tracking issues, it seems that the current offering with the move controls and camera allow for a good/really good vr experience. How would you guys feel about Sony offering at some point a upgraded camera or vive like base system for room scale and upgraded controllers akin to the oculus touch.
Knowing that all PSVR will have the current required hardware, it will serve as the baseline for Devs, and in whatever form the additional sensors or sensing hardware and upgraded inputs device take, add support for them as well.
In doing a comparison between all the offerings now PSVR would still fair pretty good even with upgraded hardware offerings.
PS4/PS4 Pro - $299.99 - $399.99
PSVR Headset - $399.99
Upgraded Camera Or Basestations - $99.99 - $125
Upgraded Move Controllers -$150
(Pricing against Vive Basestations & Controller & Oculus touch & Additional Sensor)
Total
$949.97 - $974.98 - PS4
$1049.97 - 1074.98 - PS4 Pro
Oculus Ready Min spec PC (announced today) - $ 499
Oculus Headset - $499.99
Oculus Touch Controllers (I believe bring additional Sensor) - $199.99
Additional 3rd Sensor needed for room scale - $79.99
(Prices announced today at oculus keynote)
Total - $1278.97
HTC Vive - $799
Vive Ready PC (Googled and choose lowest priced result) - $749.99 - $799.99
Total - $1548.99 - $1599.98

What am I looking at here?
Seems just as drifty and jittery as your aiming, unless you think your hand was still? because it wasn't.

I would get the additional upgraded cameras and move controllers that allow for room scale and better tracking. I also think Microsoft will announce a VR headset next year at E3 because they mentioned VR when announcing the Scorpio at this years E3.
I think it was obvious. But then again I've used the PS Move on games that didn't try to interpolate movements because they didn't understand how you make proper Move games so that Move tracking is acceptable is just "of course it is, I've used it."

PSVR doesn't have roomscale? I thought it did. I thought I saw a clip where someone was playing job simulator with it. Roomscale is something I'm extremely interested in so I guess I'm left with Vive for my options.
No room scale. Wasn't even in the design book based on the tech they have.
(Was also communicated in every interview I can remember with Dr. Marks)
Christ on a bike, you guys are still raving about the jittery headset on that stream?
I've had a dev kit for months and never ran into any problems, was surprised by just how good the headset is for the price as it has a fair few advantages other Vive and Rift (less glare than the Vive, less SDE than the Rift).
They either had weird conditions or dodgy hardware, people cancelling orders over this are suffering from No Mans Sky pre-order hysteria. The weakest link in the setup are the Move controllers which can be jittery on occasion, but it rarely detriments gameplay. No drift or weirdness at all with the headset, in various office like conditions.
Really impressed with some of the games too, you guys need to have more faith.

Here is Peter Brown's answer, senior review editor for GameSpot, when he is asked if he has experienced any tracking issues.

PS VR is 12 and up, I doubt you can fit it on a 5 year old nevermind the reasons why they put an age limit.

He's being sarcastic.
Maybe you should edit your post. Just add an /s to the end, in order to avoid more confusion. God knows we have enough of that as-is.
No roomscale (and no 360° tracking, which is a subset of roomscale).
The version of Job Simulator on PSVR is redesigned to work with 180° standing gameplay.
"Flawless". Surely he meant RROD-esque shitfest?
