    Is the PSVR worth it? Has it gotten any cheaper? I've always been kind of interested in it, but at this point should I just wait for a PS5VR? Is that even happening?

    PSVR has been very good for me but admittedly, I haven't tried any other VR. But it was always incredibly smooth and immersive and the games I had for it were a lot of fun.

    PS5VR is happening but not until next year at the earliest. All we've seen is the controllers and had some specs 'leaked', so grains of salt there.

    Overall I didn't think it was worth it. I played about a dozen VR games a few years after it came out, and then just used it for playing Overwatch.

    Best game (imo) was Astro Bot Rescue Mission, and at its best Astro Bot is Mario But Not As Good

    Omg that Star Wars Squadrons game was horrible in VR. And Skyrim VR was overwhelmingly hideous.

    Not a great investment.

    NMS and the Batman game were really fun diversions. I thought Skyrim VR was cool until I ran into the spiders lol.

    I literally could not make it through the opening wagon ride of Skyrim. I looked this way, looked that way, looked at the character talking to me and went "nope."

    I've had a lot of fun with PSVR. I know it's not as good as the PC options, but I don't have a gaming PC, so PSVR had a much lower barrier of entry.

    If you want vr and can’t wait for the ps5 solution spend the extra and get an oculus quest 2 over a psvr. It’s roughly a million percent better

    Beat Saber is great and watching 3D blu-rays on PSVR has been immensely enjoyable the last couple of years. But with the PS5 version on deck for next year and the move controllers being less than precise at times. It wouldn't make sense to jump in it at this point.

    Ya the Oculus Quest could be the single greatest implementation of VR ever created now or in the future. If it requires me to connect it to a Facebook account than as far as I'm concerned it doesn't exist as an option.

    I see I didn't know that's how you got games to use on it.

    I have an Occulus Rift, and Beat Saber with full mod support and custom tracks aplenty (literally hundreds) has made it quite the workout and an absolute blast to play for hundreds of hours since I got it 1.5-2 years ago.

    I don't know if I'd feel the same way limited strictly to the PS version's song list and paid track packs. It'd be nice if they were going full Rock Band with it and had hundreds available (expensive as that would become, of course), but as amazing a game as it is, I don't know if I'd recommend it as the sole/primary reason to get a VR rig (I have played on PSVR at a friend's place, it was good times at a New Years party several years ago).

    Turned on my PS5 yesterday and only got sound but no picture. Every other input worked and I even tried plugging it directly into my TV.

    Had to boot it in safe mode and reset the resolution.

    I was actually able to order a PS5 through Walmart back on the 12th... which said it'll be ready be October 6th.

    My question is, why say you have inventory (and there has been at least one more "drop" of units through Walmart) when you are taking nearly 2 months to get them out?

    I would much rather them just take preorders and make enough to fill them when they can rather than randomly announce drops for scalpers to pick up and double their money on. I would prefer Sony do this and not Walmart though, so I understand your frustration.

    Are you sure the USB ports are set to stay powered in Rest Mode? I don't think they're on by default.

    If the rumours are true about next month's PS5 game on PS+ then it looks like I'll need to buy another controller.

    I picked up a PSVR kit in a Black Friday sale coming up on 2 years ago and it's definitely been worth it IMO, it almost made me lose interest in 'flat' games completely for a while there. For the full experience you do need to make sure you get move controllers for a lot of the games, and the Aim controller is amazing for the few games that use it well.

    That being said, rumors are Overcooked! (PS5), Predator and Hitman 2 (PS4). Kind of lackluster again IMO, but still excited to finally give Predator a spin.

    My brother had the same thing happen - they said it would be a month or two out, and then it just randomly shipped like 3 days later.

    Hopefully that happens to you and one day soon you just wake up to a shipping notification!

    Can I assume Overcooked loses a lot of its appeal when played solo?

    Kind of a bum catch this month since I already own Hitman 2. Oh well, can't win 'em all.

    You can have a little bit of fun with it playing solo but a large part of the fun of that game is the chaos of trying to work with other people and failing miserably.

    The All You Can Eat version can also be done entirely online.

    One of my favorite moments playing Overcooked was when one of the guys I was playing with fell off an ice floe while carrying a cooked pot of soup, which landed on the ice floe that was drifting upwards off screen. Over the headset, I hear him wail plaintively "The soooooooup!" as it drifted away, never to be seen again.
