Price is obviously lower than the existing deals due to VR1 but it also includes a free camera (valued at $78).

Version 1 of this headset had no earphone holders and you aren't able to use HDR through the VR box, but apart from that they’re virtually identical.

Add on GT Sport for $12 and VR Worlds for $20.99 and the whole package comes to $231.99 with a bonus camera! (thanks @strut)

    damn this is cheap. almost bit until i realised i'd need PS Move controllers for the main game i'm interested in (superhot VR). could pony up for the Move controllers separately but at that point i'll just put the money toward a Switch.

    feel like i deserve something for successfully resisting such a solid bargain.

    • Pandaroo on 21/09/2018 - 01:42

      • sinewaves7 on 21/09/2018 - 09:07

        It seems like Superhot VR is kind of the killer VR game right now and that definitely needs them.

        After biting the bullet on this deal, I was googling this same question. Consensus seems to be that you get the most out of the experience with the controllers. However, I'm personally not going to rush out and get them.

    So - What games are recommended for the PSVR? Is it like the wii where all you need is "PS WORLDS" or whatever people are recommending?

    This is tempting just for the novelty value and to dust off the PS4. Plus I think my 7 year old will get a kick out of it, and could use it with her friends.

    This is very very tempting at this price point, but I'm trying hard to ignore it. Have such a backlog of titles across my various consoles - both living-room-based and portable gaming. Curious to try out VR (and do actually own GT Sport - still sealed), but can't see it getting a lot of use at home. Also, just invested in racing wheel, pedals, shifter for the XB1 and house is getting over-run by gaming gear!

    I'm going to repost this here for all of you VR landlubbers.

    There's a trick to it that will get you in your VR legs in no time.

    1/ run a fan so you can feel the air gently on your face whilst using it (this will also help with perspiration on your face which also happens unless you're in a cold room!)

    2/ ginger tablets!

    VR sickness is basically the same as sea sickness. Remedies for one will help with the other. You'll develop your VR legs in no time.

      • PurchaseAnxiety on 22/09/2018 - 12:36

        I hit up chat and they were adamant that "they were not authorised to match prices, even [their] own". They instead offered to cancel the package mid shipment, and I could place a whole new order (somehow that's easier and less expensive?).

        Anyway, they offered a $5 credit for the trouble. I probably could've pushed it further, or could simply return the game after I get it and place another order, but probably not worth the $4 :)

  • pizzaguy on 24/09/2018 - 12:53
    -2

    I initially understood that I'm getting two cameras (even if there's no point in having two), but it's not the case here, is it?

    Plus Bonus PlayStation 4 Camera

    This suggests there's an additional, second camera, doesn't it - I thought that every PSVR comes with a camera (as it's required, but after further reading I don't think it is).

    This is basically bare "PSVR + Camera for $199 shipped", true? Not "some PSVR bundle (ie. with camera bundled) + one more camera". If so, the deal changes completely to me. Still good.

    EDIT: Also, VR Worlds are $29.99 again. I should wait, I guess?

    • Rockah on 24/09/2018 - 14:30

      PSVR doesn't come with the camera unless you get a specific bundle. When I got my first one, I already had a camera for the PS4 + move controllers from a PS3, so I benefited from the core unit and not having to pay extra. This is the core unit + you add the camera and it ends up being free

      • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 15:00

        is this bundle better deal?
        since you only pay extra $80
        but get

        -V2 (version 2 of PSVR)
        -two included games (PlayStation VR Worlds (Full Game Download)
        Gran Turismo Sport)

        • pizzaguy on 24/09/2018 - 15:06

          @Rockah
          Yeah, that's what I figured eventually : ) Thanks.

          @pinkybrain
          Additional $80 for V2 version, that's it - see previous comments re differences and opinions if it's worth it.

        • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 15:15

          @pizzaguy:

          Do you think it is worth the extra $80?

          if you factor in the two bonus games + get a V2
          seems like $80 is not that much more
          considering that you would need to buy some games anyway..
          and those two games might be worth $40 total.

          also the V2 seems a bit better with less wiring for the headphone
          and HDR passthrough etc..

          What do you think?
          did you buy the amazon one yet?

          Which comment?

        • prxy on 24/09/2018 - 15:17

          In my opinion it's a better deal as it's only $30-$40 more expensive compared to this deal if you also want to buy VR Worlds and Gran Turismo Sport.

          Most of the benefits for the V2 are here:

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/404253#comment-6391028

          If you don't want VR worlds or GTS see if those benefits are worth the extra dollars to you.

          Even though the gamesmen ebay link shows no current stock it has been topped up a couple of times since that deal was posted on OzB.

        • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 16:03

          @prxy:

          yeah i saw a youtube video comparison

          also the controls on the headset instead of on wiring
          which means a bit less weight and you don't need to fiddle around for the controls when you know it is directly on the headset.

          and the headphones cabling is much better on the V2.
          The less wiring you have around your head the better
          since when you moving around, it can be annoying..

          Which deal did you buy?

          Even though VR gaming will be pretty cool..
          I tried the google cardboard, and it was an interesting experience, no doubt it would look better on the psvr..

          The main concern is the motion sickness/nausea feeling.
          I get the sick feeling in stomach whenever I play normal FPS games already..
          The problem is there is no way to try it out until we buy it…

        • prxy on 24/09/2018 - 16:21

          @pinkybrain:

          I bought the V2 deal posted by Being Askhole from the Gamesmen on eBay.

          I didn't have any VR games so was happy to get VR Worlds and GTS.

          I also have 4K HDR tv so didn't want any issue with V1 passthrough such as YUV420 and can't stand stuffing around and extra clutter with cables and switch boxes.

          My TV only has 4 hdmi inputs which are almost taken and so didn't want to have to use 2 hdmi inputs with V1 method.

          So for only $30-$40 extra it's a no brainer for me.

          Are there no stores near you willing to Demo a model so you can try it out re motion sicknesss?

        • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 17:10

          @prxy: Not sure of any stores that do psvr demos anymore

          the usual places are ebgames or maybe gamesmen
          not sure about jbhifi

          I haven't really seen any stores that have psvr demo booth yet..

          if you know which stores, let me know…

          From what I seen online,
          motion sickness on these things are pretty common
          Some people manage to get over it a bit when they play more
          but still experience it occasionally.

          And some people given up on it

          It seems to occur more on the psvr, due to how it is implemented compare to other vr devices..

          How about you with regards to motion sickness?
          Do you find VR experience good and normal flat gaming boring now?
          Would you recommend getting psvr and vr gaming in general?

          Also is 3D movies / VR movies any good on these devices?

          @pinkybrain: I managed to stop myself purchasing the Amazon deal on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Then, in the early hours of Monday morning, I caved!! Was too cheap not to dip a toe into VR.

          I'm actually more curious about VR than 'needing it', so to 'test it out' I figured ~$188 (after Cashrewards cashback) for the VR1 set was all I needed… and I already have a sealed copy of GT Sport at home anyway that I picked up in another Ozbargain deal in recent months.

          I think the evolved enhancements of V2 are probably worthwhile if you're likely to be a heavy user of the tech but, for me, I think V1 will probably meet my needs and will be much easier to recoup original spend if it turns out it isn't my cup of tea.

          In terms of games, I'm also not that interested in VR Worlds - more likely to look at some of the other titles. There's an FPS that sounds pretty cool (Farpoint), and super hot (currently on sale in PSN). Later this month there's a boxing title coming (Creed), and in October another FPS.

        • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 17:32

          @fookos:

          Please reply when you get your psvr
          and tell me how it goes with regards to

          -VR experience
          -motion sickness
          -3D and normal movies

          I am also interested it trying out VR.
          The experience google glass was interesting
          but this PSVR would be much better due to the higher quality..
          It won't be as good quality as a HTC vive or occulus..but it is cheap enough to test out VR.

          I still think the V2 of the gamesmen deal was better since it was only $80 more
          and had those two games.
          Those games may not be the best but since it included is still a good deal.
          The V2 has a few some improvements that may make the extra $80 worth it since it is not that much more expensive
          and you get those two games.

          I can wait for another ebay sale to get it, so no rush.
          Also what are the chances there is a V3 coming out soon?

          Yeah I heard of farpoint..seems to be the best FPS out now..
          Wish they had other more known games though like DOOM, Half life etc..

          If you are interested
          Get Resident Evil VR and Skyrim VR
          I heard they are good..
          and resident evil in VR will be quite a scary experience…

          +1

          @pinkybrain: Thanks for that.

          The differential between the two deals is more like $90 when you factor in the cashback that Amazon attracts v eBay.

          If they were the same price, I'd naturally get a V2, but I'm treating this purchase as an experiment at the cheapest price point. If I love it, I can upgrade and still likely get most of my money back on resale of the V1.

          The other deal is/was nice if you have neither game already. But, TBH, with the current crop of games I never really considered needing VR at that higher price. For me, sub-$200 is a trigger buy-in price.

          In terms of V3, no-one can answer that yet. The only references to it that I've seen suggest it will release alongside (or after) the PS5 and likely cost more than the current VR offering. Who knows!?

          Either way, it's good to see VR being embraced by consumers as that means devs will continue to push the technology :)

        • pinkybrain on 24/09/2018 - 19:44

          @fookos:

          There's also another option…
          Wait for amazon to put the V2 on special..on those black friday or prime specials..
          They have done some insane prices so far with the xbox, ps4 and wii deals.

          From what I read, seems like most of the other retailers no longer stocking V1..
          So these may be the last stock of V1.

          Personally I don't think this V1 is that good of a deal, once I saw the gamesmen deal for $80 more
          It isn't really that cheap when you factor in that this is an older model and no included games..
          The biggest factor is older model, since the newer does make some good improvements.

          With the cashback it does make it a bit better, if you want VR and below $200 price point.

          @fookos: the two VR games offered in the other deal are not great. GTS VR is a tacked on gimmick on a mediocre simcade and World's had little to no replay value. It's worth a play (at least the heist and the shark thing are) but best to borrow it from someone as they won't be playing it and neither will you after a couple of days.

        can you test and reply back here?

    • Rockah on 26/09/2018 - 15:52

      I bought the original one at launch (same as this model actually) and sold it after about 3 or 4 months just because there wasn't a huge amount of content, and I still got close to the original price for it. I felt that, while it was great amount of fun, the money was better for me back then spent on something else.

      I ordered this late Sunday night and paid the extra for express post and got it yesterday. Also bought the move controllers from Big W to go with it - as Meatball said, they're not necessary but you will want them to get the most out of it. For $199 it's definitely worth it, but you're going to spend 100 more on the moves. There's a few games out there that really make it worth it - the more recent ones I haven't played, but honestly the one that made me go "WOW" was Batman. It's only about 1 hour if you power through it, but I spent a couple of hours just enjoying the experience.

      Games like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes are awesome when you have a group of people - my wife, her sister and a mate of mine played for hours once and they aren't into gaming. There's plenty of others out there that justify the up front cost of this IMO, especially games below the $30 price point

      • [Deactivated] on 26/09/2018 - 16:48

        Batman was only twenty minutes iirc if you powered through. If you looked in every nook and cranny you'd get an hour. I'd suggest people should borrow it from friends as it's not something you'll come back to like several other 'VR experiences'.

    Just posting to say this was the bargain of bargains – VR has surpassed my expectations. I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it but, even if it’s only a ‘sometimes tech’, at $189 (after Cashrewards cashback also factored in) it’s amazing to have this experience at home.

    Some of the moments in Batman VR are jaw dropping wow!

    Going to give Superhot a run next, and then hoping to try the new platformer, Astrobot (will probably wait for a price drop) or a FPS.

    Very immersive and impressive tech. Hope others new to VR through this deal are also happy.

      Couldn't agree more. Have finished Super Hot, incredibly fun game. Now halfway into the beautifully designed Astrobot.

        Finished Batman VR last night - would have like it to run a little longer but what an experience?! Very happy with what was there. Cool ending sequence too :))

        What I would have liked was to be able to see my 'batman boots' when I look down. You can see your hands in the game, but it would also be good to see where you are grounded - I hope Sony bring out 'foot sensors' sometime down the track.

        It would be a nice addition for the immersion of your place in the 'space' of whatever game you're in (where fitting).

        Next stop, Superhot :)

          Would you rate Batman on par with Super Hot?
          I enjoyed Super Hot, heard good things about Batman but not sure if it aged well compared to current offerings. Cheers

          Edit: oh oops, reread and realised you haven't played Super Hot, my question still stand, please let me know after you finish ;)

            @zonra: Superhot is better than Batman, if it weren't for the license Batman wouldn't get a mention.

              @[Deactivated]: Umm… yeah… the license is the whole point of the Batman VR experience. And it's done really well.

              I picked up batman on a PSN sale earlier this month for $14.95 - at that price I still think it's a must buy.

              Also picked up Superhot VR (and non-VR bundle) for ~$24.

              Get both if you can.

              Anyone tried Farpoint VR?

                @fookos: I thought Batman was kinda crap tbh, I'm a Batman and VR fan so I didn't go looking for faults. Superhot is great, Farpoint is probably the #1 reason to buy VR.

                  @[Deactivated]: Did you pick up the Aim Controller with Farpoint?

                  • [Deactivated] on 26/10/2018 - 12:34

                    @fookos: Yes, I think I paid $88 iirc. Aim is a great controller, well worth it.
