The world that PlayStation VR is going to open for gamers around the world is exciting, and is much more affordable than the high-end VR headsets without trading in on the experience. I'm confident that gamers will enjoy what Sony is offering with the Pla...
No performance changes, Limited efficacy of camera and Move controllers
Yes, PSVR is the best value per dollar that the average consumer can get in virtual reality right now. If you already have an original headset, however, then save your money for an iteration that makes more substantial improvements...

Despite their failings from time to time, I really appreciated that Sony found a use for the PlayStation Move motion controllers. They feel like a natural fit for VR, and help give PlayStation VR a leg-up on Oculus until it eventually launches its Touch c
PlayStation VR is a tethered experience that encourages you to sit down rather than stand up. While the HTC Vive unlocks a massive maximum tracking area of 15 x 15 feet, Sony confines you to a 6-foot by 10-foot space, That wouldn't be so terrible if the S
For one minute, forget the finer details and focus on the bigger picture. In three short years, Sony has taken PlayStation VR from the ground floor of development to an industry-leading product. PlayStation VR is a wholly new platform that embodies so muc...
