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

I got just the game. My headset I got in May before the new one was announced

If this £249 deal is with the V2 unit I'll be all over it.

Is the a significant change in the image on a pro?, I'm on the fence

Apparently the skyrim bundle has the v2 VR headset.

Apparently but I'm trying to confirm if it's correct.

If you get confirmation let me know as my daughter is wanting one for Xmas and I'd prefer to get the latest revision.

I went to Game yesterday and asked one of the guys working there and he'd never even heard of a V2 before so I'm hoping he just doesn't know what he's talking about.

No disrespect to them but that doesn't surprise me. Unless they are gamers then they probably don't get paid enough to add any genuine value to their service.

Very true. When I worked at Game probably 15 years, ago my manager hated me engaging with anyone because we'd just talk games and I'd tell people what to buy, not what would make the store the most commission.

I can confirm it's NOT (at the moment and current price) I'm afraid.

I went into my local Game and asked to see the VR Box. Definitely the original version... I had to explain to the guy how to tell the difference!
My guess, Sony are clearing stock of V1 before V2 is released over here.
V2 looks only to be in America and Japan atm.

Still didn't stop me from buying it as £249 is a cracking deal, if you ask me. That and 2 motion controllers for $£50 (down from £70 when bought with the VR deal).

Ah that's a shame

I get the feeling post black Friday we'll start seeing V2 over here properly bundled with Skyrim or Doom (think pro+Fifa 18 bundle in single box), back up to £350ish.
At the moment it looks to be the original bundle with Skyrim thrown in separately.

can anyone recommend a reliable HDMI switch to use with the Pro and vr headset?
I'm sure someone linked one in this thread but can't for the life of me find it. Also reading you need to power off the VR control unit as well, sure someone mentioned it here as well?

This is being recommended on other sites discussing this. Not used myself though.

Are these a bit of a bind to set up?

As I said, not sure as I have not used one. Just the recommendation on another site.

Very tempted to get one of these £250 deals for the VR.

What VR games are coming out in the next year or so? If there are a few more that I will want I'll go for it!

Can someone explain the headphone issue to me? Do you gave to use the supplied buds or is it possible to slip a pair of 'big' headphones over the whole thing?

You can use bigger headsets if you wish, I used an old pair of Astro's with it, however a lot of the time I used my iphone headphones which I found pretty good.

nands · 20 Nov 2017 at 19:38

So the improved headphones with the V2 is bit of a non event, or is there a headphone jack in the headset itself rather than the controller?
