Excellent piece of kit
Great piece of kit that can change gaming forever. If you're new to VR you will never have experienced anything like it, and it's one of those things you should definitely experience at least once. The only issue is that many will experience motion sickness.

Sony PlayStation VR review
There's a lot riding on PlayStation VR as the mainstream champion of virtual reality. Though it arrived half a year later than the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive , the fact there were already almost 50 million PS4 consoles in people's living room (and now just over that number) meant it had a distinct...
Pros:
- Close to high-end
- affordable
- Some awesome VR games
- Range of controller options

Works so much better than I expected
This is hands down one of the best purchases I've made for my PS4. It is a bit pricey especially when you factor in the costs of the camera and move controllers but if you're on the fence about purchasing this then I say do it.

Sony PlayStation VR Review
The Sony PlayStation VR headset brings powerful, compelling virtual reality, with motion control support, to the PlayStation 4. Sony's virtual reality system, the PlayStation VR, is designed for use with the PlayStation 4 or PS4 Pro. It's a powerful accessory that lags only a hair behind the PC-powered HTC Vive and Oculus Rift in specs, and is far less expensive, especially when you put the required PS4 up against the pricier VR-ready PCs the Vive and Rift require. In addition, its graphical capabilities and motion-tracking far exceed smartphone-based VR headsets like the Samsung Gear VR. Virtual reality is still a technical novelty you need to be committed to before you spend the cash, but PlayStation VR stands out in price and ease of use. As of September 1, the PS VR will no longer be available on its own as just a headset. Instead, it will be sold only in one of two bundles: a PS VR with a PlayStation Camera (which is required to use the headset) for $399, and a PS VR with a PlayStation Camera and two Move controllers (which are optional, but enable motion controls) for $449. The camera bundle matches...
Pros:
- Immersive VR experience
- Works with non-VR apps and games
- Motion control support
- Low cost of entry compared with PC-based headsets
Cons:
- Requires PlayStation Camera, which is not included
- Slightly less powerful than its main competitors
- Some motion-tracking hiccups when playing in brightly lit rooms

Despite the cable nightmare, the lower-resolution screen and expensive games catalogue, I couldn't recommend picking up PlayStation VR more. It's an absolute blast and, if you can afford the £350 price tag, a must-buy for any avid PS4 fan and gamer.

Thrilling and immersive
I have had it for a few weeks now, and the experience itself is exactly how I was hoping it would be. It feels like you are right in whatever game you put in. I do have to say though, the cords are a bit ridiculous.
