Nauseating VR ghosting

Which is not included

Hard to stop playing
Constant recalibration required
No switched power to Processor unit
Processor unit strips HDR content
PS Camera poor choice for motion tracking

Its single-camera tracking system occasionally feels lacking and you may have trouble when you turn around. The PSVR's graphical fidelity is occasionally noticeably lower than what's possible with HTC Vive and Oculus Rift
Camera can be very exacting
Not as visually sharp as competition
Not super comfortable
Only works with PlayStation
Lower-res and narrower field of view than competitors
