I second this!

just imagine his little face if it doesn't work out of the box on xmas morning... 
Be a super dad and rigorously test it to make sure it works and safely operates in the confines of the room he will be using it in.

If you heat up the box seals with a hairdryer you might even be able to leave them in-tact.

I hate re-packaging stuff up once opened, especially items like the VR with cables/accessories etc.

The PSVR also needs a good 8 weeks wear in for optimal performance.
Soldato
It's really well packaged, would be a nightmare to pack back up.
Still, you should try it

so whats the point in this thread then? could have just put it in the PSVR thead.
EDIT. its now been moved i see.

I may give it a try Friday night, when my son is out for the evening.
Will it show in the PS menu that a VR kit has been installed? I'd rather it didn't.

Not that you installed it I think but as soon as you play it then it will show up in recent activities.

Create a quick user profile to use the PSVR and then delete it later.

I've only bought SportsBarVR so far but that combined with all the free demo stuff has been a tonne of fun so far since release day.
The pool in SportsBar is spot on once you get the hang of the controls - I'm still pretty bad so not tried multiplayer online yet. The developers have hinted they will add shuffleboard and ping pong which would be cool. The darts is pretty tough but Skeeball and Air hockey are good - well worth the £15
I don't have much money at the moment but plan to get Windlands on Friday - I played the demo at EGX and it is the best VR experience I have had so far and cannot wait to try the full game.

having just set up and spending some 4 hours or so with it. there is certainly a constant "WOW" factor when using with the right games/demo's, but all games really need demos so you can see if your going to get affected by Nausea as there is no way i'm going to drop £40+ on something that might make me feel ill..
gameplay wise the worst i've tried so far is easily the Driveclub demo, the graphics are such a let down and poor draw distance spoils the racing.
the only game i've suffered nausea with so far is a VR platform game demo (cant think its name) that looks and plays fantastically until i'm moving into the screen and then nausea kicks in.
Carnival Games VR was the game that made me (well the wife) buy PSVR and it is an ok experience for me, although she loves it so far.
the kit took me about 15 mins or so to put together, but may take longer depending on how your PS4 setup is. For me, the thing will just stay connected to my PS4 all the time with the headset sat beside my PS4 when not in use. This does of course mean that when i "move" over to Pro that i'll be missing out on the HDR side of gaming as i'll not be unplugging this every time i want to play a normal game unless there is some way to fit an HDMI splitter.

I'm finding the nausea lessening with playing any vr game, although i'm only really affected by scavengers odyssey, eve valkyrie demo and the playroom platform game. The immersion vr gives driveclub easily makes up for graphical fidelity for me, but i do remember pong first time round
