Apparently, Sony wants to release this PlayStation VR in the first half of 2016 and I have no sense of how people like us are responding to it. So where are you at in regards to your interest with this product?

Below are three of the best looking PlayStation VR games (IMO). They are, in order, Eve: Project Valkeryie, RIGS, and The London Heist.





 
I'll have to see reviews. I heard these headsets are one-size-fits-all with no way of adjusting the hardware to one's particular head size and eye spacing.

There's no way this can be true. I've yet to hear an impression from someone saying that it didn't fit them or their eyes weren't positioned properly. And there have been quite a few impressions, especially at E3.
 
So far for the most part the reviews of it has been pretty positive. I'd just need to see some killer games for it, and I lack a PS4...
 
I am interested.
Price is not an objection.
The games available are a HUGE objection. Based on those 3 games shown, absolutely a no. If Andy's detective work proves true and we see a No Mans Sky and some AAA titles utilizing it properly then I'm in.
 
Put me down as "definitely interested." It's not the price that is an issue for me -- I expect a $350 to $400 price tag, and that's fine -- it's the issue of the game lineup. Will it be good enough? I'm looking at it similar to a console purchase (with a twist) -- will the game lineup warrant a buy? The twist is that it's VR, a new technology, so that gives it another level of appeal, beyond just another console. It's also nice that every game will be an exclusive (well, unless it appears on Oculus or one of the other VR sets).

They plan to have 10 games at launch. If 2 or 3 appeal to me, and I have faith that a few more are on the way in the next year, I'll buy in. I haven't looked carefully at what we know of the lineup yet -- I'll have to do that -- but I do remember reading good things about some of the demos.

I'm not a "new tech" guy at all, but I can see myself being an early adopter. At least theoretically, VR offers a new gaming experience, new gameplay, new immersion. The main appeal is just the novelty of it. I've been bored with most of mainstream gaming over the past 5 years, and this is something new and different.

Not necessarily the Playstation VR, but I'm excited more towards how companies are going to push the VR experience. There are a variety of different avenues and uses for VR, and gaming just happens to be one of them.
 
The price wouldn't put me off, but the lack of support will.

Ill wait a year before buying as the cheaper move didn't get enough support and I expect VR to suffer the same fate.
 
The support is already there. VR is being pushed on the PC, mobile, and console platforms.
 
Not really interested for games, but I do like the idea of the virtual bike ride they showed previously. Can't see there being enough money in that to make it commercially viable though
 
I'm interested in seeing what it's about, but won't be buying one. I've been burned by too many useless products like the PS Move and the Vita to buy anything else.
 
I really have no desire to play VR games or AR games or anything of that sort. I'm sure it'll be a "neat" experience the first time people try it but as a true gaming platform I just don't see it working out long term.

Not sure about eye spacing even though Sony's TMZ 3D headset allows this, but I know for certain that you can adjust the occipital strap and the visor.

Don't take this the wrong way, but when I generally say something, its usually misinterpreted as me trying to persuade the choice when in actuality, I look at it from an angle at which I may be misinformed. Now that we have that out the way...

The device will do more than just games. So don't, for a second, think that games are the only form of entertainment you will be indulging in. Music, movies, and even themes will follow, and I don't mean on a level as in viewing them from a personal theater screen neither. All of this is what I meant when I was talking about the Playstation Store being a huge part of Sony's strategy with PS VR.

I wasn't aware of anything other than games from Sony. Can you give more details or examples of how I am going to utilize movies and music with the device? Is it going to put me "in" the movie I am watching or on stage with band while they play a song? Not sure I even want to do either. As for themes, the whole PS4 UI is nothing more to me than a necessary interruption in order to get me to the game I want to play, how is a VR device going to change that?
 
Does anyone know if you'll be able to use it as a typical TV? For example, could I play Uncharted 4 (not that I would want to) on it, even though that's not a VR game?
 
I'm interested in VR in general. But most of the software shown so far on PSVR has looked limited, with the exception of Rigs and maybe a couple of others.

I'm very interested in Oculus with a lot of traditional games being playable already. And games being developed directly with the device in mind. If I were to spend $300+ on something like this, which is very unlikely, I know where my money would be going.
 
Until I get a better idea of when the games are coming out I have no hype for it, I'm still waiting on the regular games, much less expecting to get polished VR stuff. I'd say by the end of this generation we see some decent stuff, but next gen it will come into its own.

Ok, music will make it seem as if you are there -- similar to a concert type of feel. Something like Vidzone is suppose to be using it.

Not sure if you heard about the movie The Walk, but just like it, many, many applications will be available resembling documentaries and such.

Themes were the quickest way i could get the idea across to you, but the interaction pictures go a bit beyond this. The best way i can describe it is EyeToy-type experiences; short but interactive.


BTW, Netflix and Hulu just jumped aboard VR. So this is a huge plus.

This is a good question.

Just like most non VR movies, I'm sure your experience will resemble that of a personal theater -- kinda like what the XB1 is able to do with the Oculus when streamed from the PC. This is generally standard.
