In the box, you will get a processor unit, instruction manual, a demo disc, power cables, and PlayStation VR headset. The setup process takes around 30 minutes. The processing unit helps in carrying out the object-based 3-D audio processing. It also displays a social screen, but at a lower resolution and frame rate.
The annoying thing about its processing unit is it requires a dedicated power supply. Also, it has several cables; and managing them every time you pack and unpack the device is not easy. Its look is awesome, but sometimes cables dangling at the place don’t look great.
It doesn’t need drivers to update and no graphic options to tweak. It needs a software update, but that is optional. You can play numerous PS VR games on the device.
You might not find PS VR good for puzzle games, but games like SuperHyperCube delivers a great experience. The game itself is challenging and turns exciting when played in PS VR.
The PS VR looks expensive, but it a great model to have on your shelf. If you are new in the gaming zone, you should buy this device to have some amazing gaming experience.
