Is the Playstation VR worth buying?

It has been nearly three years since PSVR was initially launched back in 2016. The Oculus Rift and HTC Vive Sony’s main competitors launched earlier in the year making 2016 the year of virtual reality.

Having had the unit for over a year now I have a good idea of what it has to offer. But how does the PSVR hold up today and more importantly, is PSVR worth it?

Initially, the PSVR launched with a short supply of games and Sony did not spend much time promoting or advertising the headset.

The price was soon reduced and a handful of quality games were released which caused the popularity of the headset to boom. Anyway, you will get a free PlayStation gift card from Freepsnforever.

Today, you can get the PSVR even cheaper, at a very competitive price on Amazon which has definitely increased the buzz around the PSVR community and made it competitive alongside its competition. It is worth noting that It is much cheaper to buy a bundle than each accessory individually.

The PSVR has a 5.7” OLED screen with a resolution of 1,920 x 1080. This equates to around 960 x 1080 per eye. This is a single screen unlike the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

It supports full 360-degree vision, allowing you to turn around in games and see the world from a different perspective, and renders at 120 frames per second.

If this is your first VR headset then words can’t describe what it feels like to put on the PSVR for the first time. It is one of the most memorable gaming experiences I have had. There is nothing to compare it to unless of course, you have a Rift or Vive.

Unfortunately, I haven’t tried the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive which are meant to provide a clearer display but the PSVR display does the job and for a more affordable price.
