It has that (very important for me). It has Sony says: an updated design that enables the stereo headphone cables to be integrated with the VR headset and a slimmer, streamlined connection cable.

So no longer will you have to plug headphone into the box on the cable, which was always a little clumsy with.

Th existing one has 4k passthrough too but lacks HDR support.

Ahh yes I missed that point on the OP, that's the important bit for me

How can you tell if you are buying the new playstation vr cuh-zvr2 head version that has hdr support?

I know it’s released but looking to pick up the VR soon and would like this model over the other. Who currently sells it?

Is tethered divine edition on the store for the psvr or is it the other version thats on the store?

You can tell because the headphones are built into the headset and the visor adjustment button is on the top right than the bottom of it.

I was under the impression Sony was trying to shift existing stock in the EU before shipping the new units but I could be wrong. The easiest way would be buy instore, so you can check the serial number on the box yourself.

Edited for rather unfortunate but possibly appropriate typo and lack of proof reading :eek:

So has anyone managed to find somewhere in this country with the new model?

I was hoping to be trading mine in for one asap

You can only guarantee the new model by buying the Skyrim or Doom VFR bundles.

Yes but at the moment I can't find those in this country, and my local Game have no information on them at all.

PiKe · 16 Nov 2017 at 15:46

I guess you'll just have to wait until they hit the EU.

I'd already checked on that pack and unfortunatly it is the old version

Good price though as a kit for anyone who hasn't got one, but why are we getting the old versions when Jap/US are getting the new ones!

nands · 17 Nov 2017 at 07:26

So the difference is a thinner cord, built-in headphones and HDR throughput? No actual hardware changes?

PiKe · 17 Nov 2017 at 09:08

Nope, no actual hardware changes.

Skyrim VR starter pack now £249 headset and game. Good price at a certain online retailers black friday sale

PiKe · 17 Nov 2017 at 10:55

It'll be that price everywhere as Sony are the ones who have dropped the RRP.

My Skyrim VR arrived on Thursday. I played a couple of hours of it then and more last night when I got home from work.

All I can say is wow. Skyrim was a great game anyway but in VR its something else. I played for around 4 hours straight last night and the only reason I stopped was because I was starving and was due to go round a mates house.

Going to put a lot more time in this weekend.

The only issue I have with it is the insane amount of pop in that there is but that's understandable considering it has to run at a minimum of 60fps.

I have it on a ps4 pro by the way. The graphics are blurry but the scale is fantastic. When you see the dragon at the beginning you just cant help but stop and stare for a while.

the combat feels good using the moves however its very sensitive. A couple of times I have had my weapons out while talking to an NPC and accidently ended up hitting them when I moved my arms slightly

Is it the v1 or v2 version and which shop did you get it from?

Is that correct?
