having to set up a US account and all that jazz.

Takes about 5 mins and you can buy points on G2A or Amazon

Always handy for such situations plus you get 2 weeks free PS plus to avail of the bigger discounts in this sale.

According to reddit, they've added Smashbox arena for $3.99 , so possibly adding more games each day.

What's the problem buying from the US store?

Reddit suggests *maybe* getting something Thursday, but looks like it's US for now.

There's the chance that Sony can ban you for life for using fake accounts.

Has that actually happened? Got a link?

Jerichoholic

It's in the terms of service. I'm doubt they've banned anyone, but it's a slight chance. If it wasn't possible they wouldn't have stores for every country.

mrcheez

Well you'd be the first person in history to actually get banned for multiple accounts. Could be quite lucrative for the fame you could get

Off to create a second US account now...

Having worked in Terms of Service for one of the big gaming companies, the only way you will be banned for having multiple accounts is if you are using them to do something you shouldn't. If you are just buying content from different regions then you will be fine.

iirc the only bannings on PSN were for people with hacked consoles.

Similar for Xbox afaik

anyway tis off topic, back to the VR discussion... hopefully the mods are making progress on the the VR forum. This sale discussion would be perfect for a new thread on that forum.

Has Solus Project patched in pad controls yet?

Doesn't seem to have... do you need it or is Move not ok?


Considering the following in the sale...

- I Expect You To Die
- Arizona Sunshine
- Rez Infinite
- Super Stardust Ultra VR

and maybe..

- Windlands (supposed to be kinda queasy though)


Raw Data looks good though I might just go for it on Oculus as it's the same price. If it had Aim support I'd go the PSVR route.

is Arizona Sunshine still bad or has it been patched or anything?

supposed to be a lot better now since the initial launch.

Aim support is also supposed to be great. Lots of positives about it on reddit since the patch was applied.

Jerichoholic

Tried it with move, not good at all.

mrcheez

whew boy... bought another 6 VR games there. I might have some sort of addiction.

I Expect You To Die - $9.99
Arizona Sunshine - $19.99
Rez Infinite - $17.99
Super Stardust Ultra VR - $6.99
Windlands - $9.99
Sneaky Bears - $4.99

a cool $69.94 ... $90 off normal price


Of all of them, I'm most excited to try Arizona with the Aim, and Windlands with the Moves. Supposed to be as close to Spiderman as you can get.

Just played super hot vr for the first time, WOW gotta be the best thing on vr right now...

mrcheez

And a great workout to boot. Better than yoga

mrcheez

Played Arizona for about 2 hours tonight, haven't had a chance to try the others.

Graphics are pretty great (apart from the models that have basic textures) and overall experience is pretty solid.

Did have some issues with my aim controller listing slowly to the right but I think that's just my camera that needs to be adjusted. Headshots are pretty damn great using the scope (found myself closing one eye for best accuracy).

Well worth a punt anyway.

Cool, I didn't know about that free trial. Was wondering if he got some cheap ps+ that I could also get. I've bought from the US before, its just the trial was never clearly advertised to me. Thanks.

Yep free trial, and there is a way of getting another two days free PS+ after that runs out when you want to avail of another sale later.

Playstation Quality Control have done it again, pretty much every one of these games is great, even the token one I threw in to make it an even $70, Sneaky Bears, is pretty hilarious and has phenomenal Move controller tracking.

Windlands is surreal. Swinging through Avatar-esque floating islands, getting a real sense of flying and momentum. No motion sickness so far

Also tried AreaX of Rez Infinite (you can jump straight to it now from the menu). Mesmerizing.

mrcheez

Gone for DriveClubVR for $6.99

I mean seriously it's gotta be worth at least more than the price of a pint

GT Sport VR is nice. Shame it is so watered down. Lots if tracks and cars but you only race against 1 other in arcade mode. Still i think this is the future of PSVR having a mode included in a normal game.

How did you get to play it?

mrcheez

Windlands is incredible.

The graphics, swooshing wind sounds as you glide effortlessly through the world, plus the sense of scale. Forget Eagle Flight, this is the game with the truest sense of flight.
I literally panicked a few times when i fell off a platform and started falling to my doom, then managed to hook onto a wall at the last minute. Almost too scared to look down while hanging off a ledge. Really triggers your fear of heights.

This is now one of my top 5 for sheer immersion and replayability.

GT Sport is really good fun

Is the VR available in the Demo or what?
