Cant wait for Thursday, only trouble is i am working and just hope DPD leave the package for me when i get home...

havent been this excited about gaming in years, but am also really looking forward to seeing how movies look on the headset, might save me the cost of getting a bigger tv, I have a 55" but am looking at a 65"”

I'm equally as excited at trying out the non-gaming applications of PS VR.

However don't get your hopes up too much about watching movies because the resolution will be worse than HD, if that kind of thing bothers you.

If you are getting it from tesco that date sounds about right standed delivery time is upto 5 days i think it says, Parcelforce you may need to sign for it.

Would be gutted if I have to wait until Monday like. Surely for pre-orders they should ensure it comes for the day?

I ordered it from Amazon. The delivery date was Friday (expidited delivery) which I wasn't overly pleased about. Then I woke up to an email saying payment rejected. Turns out I ordered it so long ago the card I used expired. Changed it now, hope it doesn't delay it further!

If my experience is anything to go by it will delay it. My card was replaced (due to fraud) a couple of months ago so when I received my replacement I went on to Amazon and changed my payment details. I then noticed that my delivery date moved back 5 days. I contacted Amazon who informed me that changing card details effectively creates a new order so I had lost my place in the queue. They did allow me to change the order to expedited though so I moved back up the queue again.

According to the review on here DriveClub VR makes you vomit

Exciting times for you guys.

I'll do my usual trick of waiting 18 months to buy the new model at half the price

Ha ha - i'll live.

I have to spend £550 this month on dentistry work so VR fun is a secondary concern - damn being a grown up.

I'll wait for VR v2 or v3 if this is anything to go by! http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/rev...a-vomit-comet/

I'm going round to my cousin's on Friday night to give it a shot so will see for myself how it is. I suffer from dizziness as it is due to MS so fear I may be more sensitive to this than others

Let us know how you get on, will be interesting to see how widespread the problems are.

Personally i am looking forward to drive club, it is one of the games that 'sold it' to me so hopefully will be ok, if not then at least i know to stay away from drivers!

I've already paid for and downloaded Driveclub VR so I'll share my thoughts in the morning.

Interested to hear people's impressions on here. I'm slightly regretting cancelling my preorder in favour of a Pro given Rigs, Rez and Thumper are all reviewing well. Curious about Driveclub also.

DS slated DRIVECLUB VR for making them sick and gave it 1/5.

And yet, DS gave Here They Lie 4.5/5 while Eurogamer criticised that game for the same problem. Incidentally, they really liked DCVR.

Anyway. When you get your PSVR there's a basic calibration process to get you up and running. But if you delve into the menus there's a more in-depth fine tuning you can do with the headset and all your controllers to make sure you're getting the best possible experience. You can even use the camera to scan the size and distance between your eyes for a fully personalized best performance.

It would be interesting to know how many of the reviewers having "issues" with the system did everything properly.

It would be, but it's not a huge stretch to believe that a game called Driveclub VR can make people feel sick!

I know you've posted a lot on this thread about frames-per-second and refresh rate and how nobody can make a game for the PSVR that doesn't meet certain yadda yadda yadda.

Doesn't mean anything. Means absolutely nothing, in fact. You are still a stationary person whose brain is being told you are in a car travelling at over a hundred miles per hour around a windy race-track. Given the current level of technology, for anyone experiencing sickness it has nothing to do with refresh rates or frame rates, and it never did. It's the same principle as why some people get sick if they read/use their mobiles/tablets as a passenger in a moving car, particularly in the back seat. The signals your brain is getting are totally at odds to what your body is experiencing.

Some people will always get motion sick playing VR, the same way as some people will always get car-sick if they read in a moving vehicle.

This isn't meant as a sleight on the technology btw - I think it's very cool and while I won't be an early adopter, I am keeping a close eye on its development. I use VR apps myself with the likes of Google Cardboard and have not experienced any motion sickness yet.

It's more just saying that, at some point, you just need to accept that virtual reality and motion sickness go hand-in-hand. The best refresh rates in the world won't change that.

I am always very wary of 'reviews' as i have played games that are supposedly the greatest thing ever but hated every minute - i prefer to make my own mind up based upon what i see as a whole package - i would rather have a game with a few technical faults that i enjoy playing than a perfect game that just doesn't grab me. I am sure some people will have problems with vr but until i try it myself then i will never know - the cost may seem prohibitive for taking such a risk but ultimately £400 isn't really that much in the great scheme of things and certainly cheaper than Hive etc.

Besides, even if i hate it i have 3 kids so surely at least one of them will be ok!
