PSVR launching October @ £349

No idea how it does it but it works very well. The little box does indeed help with processing. I can see why they wouldnt include the camera/move controllers though, people may already have them so wouldn't want a second set. They are cheap enough to buy anyway.

 
I'm worried about some of the compromises Sony made to fit it into their lower price point. Having used OR before - it's not the lower resolution that worries me, I can understand and deal with that, but the restricted 100 degree field of view. Having used a variety of VR solutions in development (various iterations of OR and others ) going from 225 degree FOV to 140 degree FOV felt a bit .. Boxed in, like a horse with blinkers on. I can't imaging how 100deg will feel :(

100 degree FOV is perfectly fine and in line with most other consumer VR solutions out currently. cardboard being the lowest, gearvr ~94, rift ~110, vive is 110.

225 degree FOV at these resolutions would look horrendous. The one thing PSVR has over the Rift and Vive is an RGB display instead of pentile. That alone will offer a higher perceived resolution despite it being only 1920*1080.
 
I've tried the Gear VR, Rift and Vive and wear glasses, never had a problem with either. Of the 3 though the Rift was the only one that doesn't let me adjust the distance from the lenses so not as comfortable as the Gear VR or Vive in that regard.
