This could be really interesting. So the headset is running off 5V and getting the video/audio signal also from the USB data lines. Is the video/audio signal a sony proprietry one, or is is the same/similar signal that was used for the Rift/Rift S and/or Index.I was a bit surprised he said the headset uses a USB cable to connect to the playstation. quite a few people deride the quest 2 for having such a connection.
I specifically didn't mention the Q2 as the PCVR signal is encoded in the PC and the headset does the de-encoding. I don' t believe this is the case with dedicated PCVR headsets.i've been told elsewhere that the bandwidth of psvr2 usb cable is 10gb/sec whereas the quest 2's is 500mb/sec.
Damn this was fast, didn't expect this sort of spec so soon, $550 considering the specs really puts the likes of Meta, the Vive and Valve to shame, foveated rendering with eye tracking and 2k per eye is pretty insane.
So the Meta is what 1500 quid.
The Vive and Valves are 1000 quid but also require a beefy PC to run. So that's what 2-3k+
In comparison the PSVR2 is cheap!
I changed my mind cancelled my pre-order etc. Reason being it dawned on me i was paying over £1k just to be able to play 1 game (gran turismo 7).
Haha yep, people with $10k racing sim rigs just to play one racing game, nervously shifty eyes. There are racing wheels that cost 3 times more than this headset and people buy it to play one game
I know it's a different design, but I didn't realise that controllers were this big! Compared to q2.

I guess it has to allow for all sorts of sized hands since there's a 100% limited space, whereas you can just overhang the bottom of the q2 ones if your hands are larger.
Sounds like you guys need a real life meet!! Scary or what![]()
Reading this thread and YouTube vids is giving me dirty thoughts.
It would appear that there is not a lot of interest.
The awards being hosted by Dorito Pope tells me all I need to know about that farce!
Unsure on 'best' VR game, but GT7 is amazing.
