Totally - the news that GT7 is going to be supported is a game changer for me.

If I had the spare money I would be ordering too, as it stands I'll have to hold off until I have a bit more disposable income

I've binned off my PSVR2 pre order, not feeling it at the moment. May get it further down the line.
Fair enough. It's an expensive piece of kit to sit unused. Is it the game line-up that's changed your mind, the cost or a combination of both ? I wouldn't say there's a ton of stuff at release that interests me, but between RE8:Village, GT7, HZD: Call of the Mountain and No Man's Sky that will keep me going for a while. I'll probably pick up Moss Book 1 & 2 and Demeo, too.
I've nearly jumped on VR several times over the last 6-7 years ( on PC ) but each time I've been put off by the underpowered hardware/tech. For me, the PSVR2 is the first device that offers a winning combination of graphical fidelity, frame rate and field of view, and at a reasonable price. However, the pessimist in me thinks that if this generation of hardware fails to break into the mainstream, funding for future VR/software will all but disappear. I hope I'm wrong on that front ...

Combination of a few things, cost and game lineup are two of them. I have a Quest 2 for VR itches when needed so ill wait for the game catalogue to get better.

Sony reportedly halves its PSVR2 sales projections
Preorders for the virtual reality headset were lower than expected

Sales expectations lowering doesn't surprise me - the kit is reasonably priced for what you are getting (sorry guys - it really is). It's just people don't have the disposable income for it.
If that price were dropped to levels some people were talking about, it would barely be a step forward from PSVR1.

Agreed, can't have it both ways. As a newcomer to VR I'm happy with where it's positioned, if it had been a lower-end device I don't think it would have interested me as much even if it meant saving some money. Perhaps there are some compromises that should or could have been made to bring the price down, but we won't know until it thrives or fails.
I think the games available on launch are a strong selection (including some free updates to existing games like RE8) but they could do with announcing some of the titles due to come later in the year.

I'd like to give vr a go, but those initial costs are horrendous for something so poorly supported. I'd love to know why it's not backwards compatible, it it were I'd imagine more people might upgrade.

Isn't VR2 supposed to better supported? more games will support fully. You should try VR on PC (if you have the hardware) if you want to give it a go. Quest 2 I highly recommend. It has native games too.

A stonking console and a decent VR setup for about a grand is still pretty good value in my opinion. I was going to try and get one, but on reflection I personally can’t warrant the spend for VR2 but I’d love to get one. I won’t begrudge the price given the spec, but it’s more than I’m prepared to stretch to for the time being. I do think the current economic pressures have a bearing on my outlook though.
Maybe Santa might get one for me! (I live in hope
)

I thought that link said past games weren't supported. I'd like to try the half life game on pc, but then you have to buy double the equipment.

Sony has denied the rumours
I saw that ... just can't trust games "journalists". And yes, you can use the PSVR2 to play normal games - it has a "cinema" viewing mode for non-VR content.
We certainly cannot trust games journalists - they all have an agenda. I can promise you now that once the Hogwarts Legacy embargo is lifted, we'll get a lot of reviews thus:
Blah, blah, controversy, blah, blah, JK Rowling, blah blah, views, blah, blah, transphobic, blah, blah - 7/10.
Kotaku has got to be one of the worst for this kind of rubbish.
