Finally got round to creating a US PlayStation account. It really is a bit ****e that they've 10 more demos than us. I've bought batman and driveclub on my Irish account. My VR isn't arriving till Tuesday. Half tempted to try Argos tomorrow but I probably wouldn't be able to cancel the amazon order. I see CEX are offering 480, but I'd rather not have two of them for even short while.

Wait, is it out tomorrow or Friday? Had it in my head it was Friday but get the impression reading the thread it's tomorrow? Not that it matters, mind. It's an Xmas present for my brother.

...that might need to be tested when he isn't around, I guess

You most definitely have to test it and update the firmware in advance of giving it to him, I recommend thoroughly testing the unit for many hours to make sure he won't suffer from a sore neck or eye strain.

PS4 media player is getting updated tomorrow; 360 video/pictures. Also adding FLAC for audiophiles.

Well the headset fits well anyway lads. That's as much craic as I'll knock out of it until November, Jesus tis killing me

WarZoneBrother · 13-10-2016 12:17am

No sign of the Argos site being updated with it as of yet, will be surprised if it's updated at 9am tomorrow, may be best off using the number and ringing nearest store to reserve...

The 01 number I previously posted may also work as I find it hard to get through to the actual store (rang Cavan about 3 times no answer but Monaghan answered on my 3rd call)...

You're not playing it till November because you only demoed it, or because of motion sickness and sh1t? this post confuses me.

Going to be an expensive few months.
PS4Pro, then 4KTV followed by PSVR.

Did you manage to reserve it online? Having a look now and not seeing it for selection.

stevexo · 13-10-2016 6:31am

I reserved it online alright on my mobile browser.
Search either using the term 'vr' or the product id 5722015

All of dublin bar ommi park seems out of stock already. Did anyone get one anywhere else in dublin?

gerrybbadd · 13-10-2016 7:15am

Managed to reserve one in Argos too.

Have requested cancellation from Amazon now too. Hope I got it in time

Edit... And I didn't. Amazon really screwed me over

corcaigh07 · 13-10-2016 7:42am

For the Dame Street event;

What are the chances of getting a walk-in slot? I'm booked for Sunday but would love to try it out after work today.

Also, where is it exactly? Dublin castle?

rafi bomb · 13-10-2016 8:09am

If anyone got a code for Dublin their not using I would appreciate it

It's off Trinity street. Cross from the Central bank and you'll see a pub called The Bankers. It's right beside it and very very easy to find.

I was there yesterday - they said they have slots available for walk-ins, but you may have to wait before you get your turn.

I arrived there at about 12:30 yesterday without a booking and didn't have to wait at all.

It's well worth checking out for anyone that's still undecided on VR.

shinzon · 13-10-2016 8:42am

Wasn't many, managed to get 1 in limerick at 7am.

Woke up at 6 and groggy eye couldn't see it so when I actually got up at 7 was able to.

Thankfully I'm down in limerick today as there wasn't much around Dublin/wicklow.

I've one reserved in Wexford for my brother. If he gets one in Kilkenny himself I'll pass this on on to whoever wants it.

Should know later today.

rafi bomb · 13-10-2016 9:06am

Has anyone just walked into a game stop and got one? Showing on the site for click and collected but want money up front. Don't trust the site that there is stock in every shop

seany212121 · 13-10-2016 9:11am

Rang gamestop but they told me pre orders only for the headset I was going to try walk in and collect but dont think there is a point. If anyone has a spare code for south Dublin I would be very grateful
