Bad controllers – Two bad units and lots of headache with Sony. I bought the PS VR 2 accepting that there wouldn’t be a long list of titles. So long as it’s a good VR experience, I’d be ok with the cost. I already owned Gran Turismo and I bought three popular games (Horizon Call of the Mountain, Walkabout Mini Golf and Beat Saber), only to discover that the controllers were almost unusably buggy. If it was a few glitches I might have been ok with it. I literally couldn’t progress in Horizon Call of the Mountain.I thought perhaps I got a bad unit and replaced the ps vr 2 for a second unit from BestBuy (Amazon doesn’t allow for a second purchase or replacement), only to run into the same problems again. Being tech savvy I tried everything under the moon. Firmware updates for both controllers and ps5, turning things on and off, resyncing and speaking with Sony. No luck. I suspect Sony has software bugs with the unit, because buttons on the controller would work on the main screen, but not in game.To make insult to injury worse, I’m stuck with 3 ps vr 2 titles that are unplayable and Sony won’t refund despite the inability to even play the games. (I wasted at least 3 hours with customer support for all issues related to the PS VR 2 and games, I took screen recordings of my extensive problems… they didn’t care)I’ve bought Sony products for decades knowing they make solid products. Unfortunately, this was my first bad product with the company and it was a pretty bad stinger. And to have it happen with two units… I suspect they have significant problems to sort out.

Massive improvement over PSVR. I hated the first PSVR headset with a passion. It was the biggest waste of money I’ve ever experienced; In my 3 years of owning it, I maybe used it 10 times bc of how much of a hassle it was to set up and the lackluster gaming experience. I mean it when I say the PSVR2 is light years ahead of the first one. Almost every problem I had was not only addressed, but completely solved. There is 1 cable, that’s it. No more multiple HDMI cables and a whole separate module to run the headset. Just 1 usb c that plugs into the front of your PS5. That alone is worth the price of admission. The controllers are far superior, more similar to VR controllers for PC platforms than the Wii remote rip off from the first one. A built in headset, so you don’t have to plug in your old earbuds and have them constantly ripped out of your ears. The ease of use is the best part about this. It takes maybe 45 seconds to set up, disregarding the play area scanning, that can take a little while if your room is a little wonky and doesn’t have a square area you can scan. I’ve played a few games so far, with the Horizon game being the best in my opinion. It’s awesome shooting a bow and actually having to pull the arrow back and reach over your shoulder to grab another one. It’s immersive as all hell and I love it. You have to play No Man’s Sky as well, the flying is quite possibly the coolest gaming experience I’ve ever had. Actually being able to control the throttle and joystick is insane. I do wish Sony would back some more games for this headset, as the lineup is a little weak, especially compared to what is available on other VR platforms. But the big titles that are here are solid and will be enough to justify this very expensive purchase in my opinion. My only issues with the headset itself are the lenses and the lack of airflow. The picture quality isn’t perfect, it will look blurry if you don’t adjust the lenses perfectly, there’s really no margin of error for that unfortunately. Even when you do find that perfect adjustment, it’s still a little blurry. I find myself taking the headset off quite a lot because of how hot it can get under it. The lenses fog up a lot and I have to wipe the sweat off of my face, which completely breaks the immersion. Overall, I love this thing. I’ve used it more in the 2 weeks I’ve owned it than I did in the 3 years I owned the first headset. I’d say wait for a sale to come around if you’re not totally sold on VR and aren’t really sure if this is something you’ll use a lot. If you do like VR and can see yourself using this quite often, then I’d absolutely recommend buying it as soon as you can. This is an incredible experience.

PSVR2: A Smooth Leap into VR. Stepping into VR with Sony’s latest PlayStation VR2, bundled with Horizon Call of The Mountain™, has been a revelation. Coming from a PC VR background, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how Sony has leveled up the game with the PS5 and PSVR2. The setup is a breeze compared to the hoops I used to jump through with my PC setup. Honestly, it’s almost like comparing apples to oranges when you look at the ease of getting everything up and running. And the graphics? They’re nipping at the heels of the Vive Pro 2, which is saying something.For anyone looking to dip their toes into VR waters, I’d nudge you towards this PS5 and PSVR2 combo. It’s the simplicity and ease of setup that really seals the deal for me. It’s as close to plug-and-play as VR has ever been.But it’s not all smooth sailing. There’s a bit of a hiccup with the handheld controllers; they occasionally need a reset to play nice with the games. There’s a tiny reset button you’ll need to prod with a pin on the back of the controller. It’s a bit of an annoyance and, frankly, something Sony should’ve ironed out by now. Hey Sony, it’s time for a fix!Despite this minor gripe, the overall experience has been stellar. The PlayStation VR2, paired with the immersive landscapes of Horizon Call of The Mountain™, offers an entry into VR that’s hard to beat. It’s straightforward, hassle-free, and delivers an impressive visual punch that gets you close to the high-end PC VR experience, without the usual setup dance. If you’ve been on the fence about stepping into VR, this bundle might just be your perfect entry point.

My thoughts. It is beyond amazing in every way. The most fun I’ve had in years. 2 minor complaints but they don’t take away from its amazingness. 1. The cord for the headset should be wireless if possible. 2. The left control didn’t function while playing games and needed to be replaced. It was a manufacturing issue. It is still worth every penny. Top notch entertainment for years.

AMAZING! Ready for Alien Rogue Incursion. I havent been much into the VR side of things until the recent news of Alien Rogue IncursionI was debating between Meta Quest 3 vs PSVR2. Biggest pro’s were obviousMeta Q3: Standalone. No console requiredPSVR2: Console powered resolution. OLED lensThen finally price. Both being $500, I was leaning towards Meta Q3, but with the Black Friday deal of $350, this was a no brainer, and I hope Sony sells a crap ton, because its such a killer dealSetup 5/5.Very simple to setup. (Charge the VR controllers first and follow prompts)Build Quality 4/5Lightweight and solid. Not sure how durable, so be careful with all hardware, especially the main USB-C that hardwires to PS5VR Experience: 5/5Just wow. I only got to play Gran Turismo 7 in VR and it was unbelievable, although I started to experience motion sickness after 1 lap, it will take some getting use to. But, I was blown away and look forward to trying more VR titles. I am mainly excited for Alien Rogue Incursion which releases 12/19/24Overall 5/5 (at $350)If you can snag this at this price and you have a PS5, this is hard to beat. If being mobile/independent is top priority, go with Quest 3 or Quest 3S. If the Quest 3 was same price as the PSVR2, I personally would go with Quest 3 because of it being standalone unit. However the con if having PSVR2 hardwired to a PS5 makes up in the display/graphics over the Quest 3, which evens them out depending on what is important to you*Tip (Right VR controller not working in-game)This has been an known issue. If this happens to you, the VR controller has a small pin hole (reset) button that you will press and hold, then re-pair the controller. Once I did this, the Right VR controller was now working in-game. Hope this helps!

HIGH QUALITY VR. As a disclaimer, I bought this PSVR2 on sale for 350$ and the rest of this review will be reflective of THIS price point. At 550$ My rating would drop by one star, but that is for another day.Comfort (4.5/5):So, I’ve only ever owned this VR headset and the Quest 2. I don’t know how it compares to other headsets, but I have always found it to be comfortable enough for a couple of hours without issue. I know that there’s a strap you can buy if you find that it slips during high movement games or depending on your head shape.Library(4.5/5):Taking into consideration the games coming out this year and the fact that this headset probably has at least two more years of content coming to it. I’m happy to say that most of you will be happy with the library! The only issue here is that it doesn’t have Half Life: Alyx. But, given the new PC adapter you find access to two PC (Steam)!Ease of use/installation(5/5):If you use this on PlayStation, there is like ZERO setup (aside from initial or compared to some PC headsets). I’ve personally never had issues with using it or connecting it. I have also never had the controller issues that some people have had, though *OCCASIONALLY (once or twice every dozen hours) I do get controller tracking hiccups from it. But ultimately it is very good and reliable.Graphics(5/5):Now, before anyone is a smart but, no it is not better than a 2-3 THOUSAND dollar setup. If you have money go buy something else. What I am telling you, is if you already bought a PS5/Pro for OTHER reasons then this 350$ price point is an AMAZING offer. The graphics look good and crisp thanks to foviated rendering. It also runs at a consistent 120 fps in the games that I have played it on, which is mainly Arizona Sunshine 1 & 2, GT7, Metro: Awakening, Beat Saber, and No Mans Sky! So I *personally get NO motion sickness.Price(5/5):At 350$, PSVR2 makes a fantastic purchase and a great headset. It’s only real competitor at this price point is Quest 3, which is great as well but for different audiences. However, if you are reading this after the sale the I would say WAIT! The headset is great but it is missing a Alyx sized game to justify 550$
