Yes just had a email 9mins ago, i am a non prime user saying "We have good news! One of your pre-ordered items is now eligible for release date delivery and has been upgraded at no additional charge." that would be the vr head set,
all the lot is coming thursday, camera, move controllers and vr head set and a game.
So i am happy now, i am also getting EVE Valkyrie from else where on pre order so any luck that will turn up thursday in the post.

Mine packed, should be good to go Friday!
Another surprise for us...
Another surprise for us...
I'm really impressed with it so far.
The resolution is obviously lower than the Vive, but the quality of the panel (and lack of screendoor effect) makes it a much closer comparison than expected, and the good games (rigs) handle the resolution superbly such that it's barely noticeable.
Sure, Driveclub VR doesn't look quite as good, but sat in the drivers seat, using motion controls, feels so good.
The biggest problem is the length of the demos, many are just a couple of minutes, and then excessive loading times to reset. This won't be an issue with the full games, but they could have tried harder - I'd barely flown and shot anything in Eve Valkyrie before the demo ended.
Also, I need more distance between the camera and me, as we sit quite close to the TV and sometimes the camera could no longer 'see' the controller when I reached out to the side. Easily fixed though.
Overall (as a Vive Owner) I'm very impressed, and I think they've nailed the mass market requirements for the price. Sure, if you want to spend more and have a high-end PC, the Vive (or Oculus) is somewhat 'better', albeit requiring far more effort. However, for most people (and I suspect a lot of my VR playing) the PSVR is awesome.
I'm looking forward to seeing my wife and daughter play TumbleVR at the weekend, as that's such a sumple immersive experience.

Nice ^ what do you mean by motion controls in Driveclub? How does it play?
Soldato
That's good news, I was really impressed with it at EGX but obviously couldn't play everything.
I'm looking forward to Battlezone, Rigs, Batman etc but really want to see what it's like playing Driveclub with my wheel setup, should be good.... roll on tomorrow

Just had a email from a retailer i was getting Eve Valkyrie from and they said "Unfortunately Sony have been unable to supply our full stock requirements on EVE Valkyrie Playstation VR Video Game for Sony (PS4 / PSVR), therefore we will be unable to deliver your order on the day of release." so not happy now 
Just using the 'tilt'/motion on the standard DS4. Not something I'd usually use, but when you don't have a wheel and you hold the DS4 up in front of you where you're *seeing* your hands on a wheel and they match up as you 'turn' the wheel... the immersion beats the ridiculousness any day
Obviously, if you have a wheel, it would be even better, but this is about accessibility.

Ah nice. I have a G29 though
I thought you meant it was usable with the "move" controllers
I have a question for you, have you ever used Kinect?
Yes. The tracking is nowhere near as bad as that (even though the v2 improved things).
There is some slight movement latency, but nothing that I've found affects the immersion or gameplay in the slightest so far.

They've took the money so just waiting for them to pack and ship it now

So what would I need for this;
- Move controller (s)
- Camera
- The VR unit

Move controller is optional. I'm getting 2 but predict dust.

Buy it off the store digitally perhaps, it's the same price?
