The ps4 vr headsets have come down in price and im tempted to get one.

Are they worth 210 quid for the mega pack which includes 5 games including skyrim and all the camera etc?

The only thing putting me off is i want to just use dualshock controllers (trying to keep cost low), and i want to be able to play sat on my sofa not faffing about standing up etc, does this limit the amount of games i can play or can you do that with all of them?

My mate has one, I'm no expert in VR, as his is the only one I have tried to date, but as someone who fancies maybe getting into it in the near future, I found it quite fun. I would say it was worth £200 given the included games.

I had one a while back.

I used to sit on my sofa most of the time to play but you do have to move around a bit. The move controllers were far better than the dualshock controller though.

It was great. "was"..... As with lots of things, you play for a bit, think it's amazing, then you use it less frequently, then not at all and finally the day comes of £1 final value fees on ebay and you sell it.

I should probably sell my Playseat Challenge and ThrustMaster T150 as I haven't used them in over 2 years.

I should add it is easily worth £200 for what you get.

When I got mine it was on release day so it was £349, then the camera was £40, move controllers £70. That was with no games, just a demo disc.

This.

I bought a WMR VR headset for my PC. It was great to start with, then not so great, then a bit of a faff and then too much like hard work. It's been sitting on my desk on it's nice stand now for well over 6 months now gathering dust.

Yeah. Keep it mint because the chances of your wearing it out are nil. It'll be sold on.

I had one. It was great. I used it about fifteen times in total. Flogged it. It's too much faffing. In a worst case scenario you might lose £50-80 which is still worth it for the experience.

I could tell it was very first gen but still dug it.

Most of the time I used the controller and didn't feel like I was missing out.

I would. Mine was £200 down the drain as I can't sell it as where do you sell stuff ? As someone posted on another thread, I'd rather eat it than use Ebay.
