PlayStation Bargains mk2 (**NO CHAT** Mod edit in post #1).

mrcheez

The remaining games I plan on getting for PS4 before the PS5 launches are...

- The Last of Us 2
- Borderlands 2 VR
- Walking Dead Saints and Sinners
- Iron Man
- Tetris Effect

says something that only one of those isn't VR

VR bundles are £ = €? Strange

How does PSVR run on non Pro PS4?
Be great if could try it first.

And then as I've said before, be interesting to know how it can be used for PS5. Just on PS4 games or can it be used to play PS5 games

Runs fine on base PS4- it’s quite hard to describe but once you have 2 mins with a headset on you’ll forget about graphics or any of that stuff.

Will be compatible with Ps5 so it’s not a dead end investment now. Tons of quality titles for it now - Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, Creed, Skyrim VR, Firewall Zero Hour, Blood & Truth, Astrobot, Moss, Red Matter, Beat Saber etc. Got mine 2 years ago as an xmas present and I’ve honestly spent more time gaming in VR than playing flat screen games since (even blockbusters like RdR 2 simply can’t match the amount of time I’ve spent in games like Firewall ).

DualShock is fine initially for some titles but you’ll want to get a set of Moves for proper immersion in a majority of the games, and the AIM if you plan to go down the Firewall rabbit hole (or get the most out of games like Farpoint or Arizona Sunshine).

That’s the VR part covered but that doesn’t even include the fact you can play normal games in the headset too - which is basically like sitting in a cinema on your own and gaming on a massive screen

and you can watch 3d BluRays in your own personal IMAX

I have it and have a great selection of top games. AstroBot, Moss, Blood and Truth, Beat Sabre, Creed, SuperHot, Wipeout (if you can tolerate it) Resi 7 just to name a few. And there's a great amount of cheap and short games too.

Would highly recommend it.

I haven't bought it yet but it sounds like The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is another top-tier title.
Yeah I'd agree, there are more than enough games (SP and MP) to justify the purchase now.

Any offers or recommendations on a headset lads? Cheers

Sweet. Let my plus sub lapse a couple of months ago as I never play online and the last while the games have been crappy. Will sub again at 30% off though. Even if there are only 3 or 4 good titles in the next year its worth it.

Keeping with the VR theme, anyone thinking of picking one up in days of play should hold out until July to get the motion controllers if needed as there is an Iron Man bundle being released on 3rd July with the game and 2 motion controllers for €99

You would be hard pressed to get a better deal then that as Iron Man is €40 on its own and they are hard to find at the best of times anyway.

It is €95 in Smyths. It is not going to be on sale here according to the blog so assume Argos will be the only other retailer to get stock.

Sorry, guilty as charged of not reading the small print!
I’m sure it will be available on Amazon too.

Shopto have it for €85 plus shipping, will probably end up very close in price with Smyths including shipping.

Blood and Truth is 11 sterling in Coolshop - anyone ever bought from there? Tried addresspal but it won't accept an irish phone number.

Thanks

Good deal as they cost €120 separately.

Thanks for that Sniper. Pre-ordered.

Sorry, where can you get the sub for 30% off?

Are Smyths and Argos open yet, or would we need to order the PSVR (likely Megapack) online?

Everywhere. It isn't active until Days of Play begins though.

As part of the Days of Play starting on Monday

Argos have reopened for click and collect. Not sure about Smyth's

Both Smyths and Argos are open for click and collect/reservations. You can't just go in and grab one off the shelf.

CastorTroy

Every year this comes up and every year I think about getting it.
Seems use with PC is better than it was as well, which would be another selling point for me. Not ideal, but for home cinema and as said 3D, it could be worth it.

Smyths will likely sell by home delivery if not open (and digitally for ps cards)

Mr.Fantastic

How much room do you need for the psvr ? Is it 6 foot By 6 foot have my setup in my room and definitely don't have that kinda space

Danick

I have the original playstation 3 move controllers - going to buy Iron Man so is there any reason to buy the bundle are the new move controllers better or should I forget it and just buy the game on its own? Thanks

I think the only differences between the current and old Move controllers is PS3 connectivity and different usb ports(mini vs micro).

There is a VR forum beter suited for queries etc.

nah you can play rooted to the spot in PSVR, just space to stretch out your arms really.

But yes take the VR discussion to the PSVR thread

Just to give my 2 cents, I'm a quality whore and rarely play pixelated games because I don't like the look of them. I have a Pro with PSVR2, and there is quite a noticable drop in quality when in VR. I personally can't watch films on it, because I know I can watch a better quality version on the TV. Just mentioning it in case people think the drop isn't noticable, but it is to me, no matter how much adjusting I do.

There's a weekend sale, Star Wars Jedi Academy is €17.99, actually thought it was a VR game, instead it just looks like a PS3 game.

things like the Oculus Go and Quest show how far VR has evolved to the point that I can now play my Steam desktop games on the Quest while sitting on the couch and I'd be hard pressed telling the difference from looking directly at my monitor. I'd pretty much guarantee the PS5 will bring similar clarity improvements to existing PSVR headsets.

Really? I never thought of this - after all the pro makes a difference to quality - I hope you right and that the headsets have not already reached their full potential - this would be amazing news

Yeah the headsets are just lenses, the power driving the VR is all in the console hardware. Anyway probably enough off-topic discussion here

Smyths the best/cheapest for that? Collecting from my local would be handy.

Oh yeah that's the plan, any idea if they are one digital code or separate? Or are they disc based.. i already own some as I have had PSVR before..

@Zero id say smyths or argos will have best deals, i will be ordering online as i don't think any of my stores are open, has free delivery anyways too.. Hopefully there's a VR Mega with an extra game on offer but not sure..

I think it's a digital code as I've seen the games as a pack on key reseller sites.

The games of the mega pack are all codes, there are no game discs. Also there are alot of vr demos on the store

Potential-Monke

Speaking of, we're overdue a new VR demo collection. There were 13 months between 1 and 2, and 14 between 2 and 3, and it's been 16 months since 3...

VR Mega Pack deal now on with Smyths, Argos seem to have updated something, it says discount 90euro but its still fully priced, and at -90 they would be charging 280euro..

Argos probably not sorted yet so might be properly done in the morning

EDIT: Death Stranding 25euro from Smyths, bargain..

Click and Collect.

Argos vr was more expensive so looks like they'll be sticking at 50 dearer than Smyths ffs.

Easier to get to for me but not 50 quid easier.

Smyths:
Blood and truth 18
Days gone 20
All hits 15 or under.

Pretty suee its free delivery for accpunt holders? Or maybe there's a min spend for that..

@Zero at 8 or 9ish check pricing again, this could be an error that might be rectified..
