Couldn't they add HDR pass to the first one through software update?
Nah, it's likely a hardware bandwidth issue.Couldn't they add HDR pass to the first one through software update?
Why are people so caught up in the whole HDR thing? Most TVs aren't able to display HDR. In many cases, not even those marked HDR-capable can display it. Unless the set has a native 10-bit panel (and most don't), it won't accurately display HDR data.
It was a hardware oversight.

The new version, model number CUH-ZVR2, features an updated design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable

Are they really using cables as an excuse for not allowing swapping the processing box? Wow
Some of us have spent obsurd amounts getting a good picture, lol. I own a Sony VPL-VW675ES, and HDR makes a noticible difference.Why are people so caught up in the whole HDR thing?

HDR pass-through would be nice, but I also haven't even used mine in roughly 10 months. So I don't care.

Welcome to techThis has HDR passthrough
Mine does not
Some of them still fake 10 bits via 8-bit plus FRC/AFRC.Nearly all mid-to-high end TVs on the market today display native 10-bit HDR.

So how well has PSVR sold???😯
Lol, replacing a power brick is far easier than replacing an integrated cable in the headset. Outrage over no hdr throughput is silly. Its a small inconvenience, not some disastrous fucking mistake people make it out to be. Yall really cant unplug one hdmi cord and plug in another without throwing a fit?That is an absolute bullshit excuse and drive-by post, and you know it.
Imagine if Microsoft released a faulty power brick for the original Xbox One and just said "too bad, so sad" to everyone who has one. People on this forum would crucify them for it.
Sony should've done a revision to the Processor Box right after launch when they knew it was a hardware oversight. Offer it to people for free within a certain window, and then a charge later. MS handled this well with Kinect on the Xbox One S, giving the adaptor to early adopters for free. Even Nintendo, once horrible, offers part replacements very well.
Sony is just arrogant and fucking over their most loyal users now.
If you have drift issues your camera isnt setup correctlyMaybe the new one completely fixes the drifting issues too.
Still for what was essentially a beta product I've had a good time for the money.
Best selling vr headset out of all of the big ones.So how well has PSVR sold???😯
Not significant enough of a change to be upset/regretful/jealous or whatever some people may be feeling, with this news.
HDR pass through is what it is and sorry to those who need/want it but I twisty tie my earbuds up the cable and onto the unit and it works great.
While I understand the frustration, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. New tech, New models.oh for fuck sake
mines is obsolete already?

1.8 million PSVRs were sold? Wow... when did that number come out? Last I heard it was just over a million, and that seemed to be only a month ago.

It's addressing one of the PSVR's design oversights. The workaround was a joke, and now you don't have to deal with that. Plus it streamlines some of the cable management, which was another area of its design that was criticized. The HDR thing, among other reasons, was why I passed. Now I'm more likely to pick one up.

I use my PSVR way less than I otherwise would (and buy fewer games) because I don't want the breakout box connected for normal games etc. due to the lack of HDR passthrough. This would certainly make me use the platform more.
But I'm not gonna buy a new headset for it. Fuck that.
They should offer a trade-up program.
- As someone who owned a PSVR before and after getting a PS4 Pro it's worth noting that no PSVR games that I'm aware of take advantage of the Pro BUT the PS4 Pro's Boost mode does make a big difference in some games in that some games will have a more stable framerate which is critical with VR (framerate was an issue with some early PSVR games) and increased visual clarity (on a standard PS4 some VR games would have somewhat of a Vaseline on the lens look to them... which I personally find preferable to the Vive's screen door effect). These improvements aren't necessarily game changers but they are nice.
Those are SuperDatas estimation. They also estimated PSVR to sold 2.5m last year
Two cameras - twice the camera data to process, you'd need to two PS4's working together on that and only new or updated games made compatible with such a rare setup.Anyone else bummed that they didn't also announce a new camera that tracks better? Or that they didn't figure out some way to allow you to use two cameras for better tracking?
