wait to buy a VR headset? It's not a bad idea. With the Quest 3 coming later this year and the Apple Vision Pro in 2024, there may be many devices on the way that are better than what's here at the moment. VR is a technology that's still in flux, with co...

OLED displays are crisp and vibrant, Foveated rendering augments PS5 graphical capabilities, Wide field of view, Exclusive games are fantastic, Uses a single cable with no breakout box, Comfortable to wear for long periods of time
May suffer from long-term durability issues, Controllers are a bit cramped for big hands, Somewhat limited game lineup, even weeks after launch, Moire is occasionally distracting
Starting at $549.99, and going up to $599.99 if you want "Horizon: Call of the Mountain" bundled with it at a slight discount, the PlayStation VR2 isn't cheap. Plus, if you want the charging station for the controllers that's another $49.99. However, if w...

Abstract: Sony's first big accessory for the PlayStation 5, the PlayStation VR 2 headset, is here. We reviewed it recently: It's one of the best immersive gaming experiences we've ever had, and has some great games already, but it also costs more than the PlayStati...

Abstract: It's been about two weeks since I sliced open the shipping box and looked down at the surprisingly compact package that the PlayStation VR arrived in. The PS VR2 box is about half of the size of its predecessor. I suppose it's a lot easier to design packa...

Abstract: The new generation of console virtual reality experiences is finally here and we've finally found an adequate amount of time to spend with the PlayStation VR2 and a number of software titles - and after (a little more than) a full week we have no doubt th...

Abstract: The first time I encountered “VR” was at a county fair in the '90s. It was for a racing game demo, and basically amounted to putting a TV on your head…I think I lost some of my eyesight that day. It was an absolutely fascinating experience all the same, a...
Abstract: Outside of early Oculus and HTC Vive adopters - and not counting VR-lite experiences like Google Cardboard - the PSVR brought virtual reality into the mainstream for plenty of gamers. I remember waiting two hours at NYCC to try a brief demo of Resident Ev...

Unbelievable clarity, Excellent positional 3D audio, Infinitely simple to setup and use, Price technically hasn't gone up from PSVR1, Foveated rendering is an absolute game changer, And so much more…
Wrist strap is kinda crummy, I wish the USB-C was user-serviceable
With bleeding-edge tech, Sony launches the single best VR HMD on the market. It does everything right, and in many ways does things well beyond any competitor at any price. Congratulations Sony – you just changed the game
The steep price is excused by powerful hardware and an unparalleled experience. The PSVR 2 is more than just a fun contraption - it's the future of gaming...
