O man where to begin with this bad girl... holy crap!... This is my first VR experience I have ever had and it was amazing! I was able to get this for the normal retail price here on amazon for $399.99 for what it said was a brand new unopened PS VR! I couldn't believe it at first but I just figured amazon got in a new shipment. When I got the headset, I could tell right away by the tape on the box that this had been opened already! My first reaction was nope send it back I don't pay for used items or if I do, for sure gunna get a discount! As I went on, I could see that the headset hadn't been used yet or if it was used, someone packaged it up to near perfect packaging. Anyway....... I'm still not too happy about this but this is not something you deduct a star on for the headset! Its not Sony's fault that amazon sold us a used VR! Some people still don't get that through their heads and rate the headset low. Lastly before I get onto the review of the headset.... The PS VR is awesome for its base $399.99 price tag, but I'm sorry to say it is not worth the $500+ price tags I'm seeing some 3rd party sellers sell these for on the market... that's just rediC..... so please just wait for new stock to be shipped in and you will be all good to go!
The set up of the PS VR headset was very easy. I didn't even need to look at the instructions and I had it up and running in a good 5 minutes. First game I bought and played was Eagle Flight VR..... and holy crap.... that was a trip lol... It allows you to fly around PAris as an eagle with pretty smooth flight mechanics with no VR sickness at all. I must say it was a good first VR game I tried and I musta did free flight for a good 30 minutes before I was like omg what time is it? lol. I also just sat in the menu of this game for another 20 minutes bc your sitting up on top of a building like 100feet or more up and you actually feel like you are that high off the ground! I climb rocks of 600ft or more and it really felt like I was up on the cliffs edge! all using virtual reality tech it was crazy! After that I tried all the demos on the demo disk that came with the headset and they were sweet too. They showcased all cool VR demos they have and it also allowed you to see all the new "areas" that VR allows you to play in. It was amazing! I got freaked out by a lizard I won in the PS VR room lol... it jumps out at you when you open the bottle lol.. I musta jumped 3 feet and screamed! people in the house were like wtf?! I also played the RE7 demo and that was awesome too lol... got a lil motion sickness when you had to do the turn view but other then that it was awesome!
PS4 Pro: I also want to put out there that I don't think you can have a successful VR experience with the PS VR if you are running the stock PS4 that has a GPU tflop of 1.84..... I'm sorry.... I don't know how Sony makes that GPU powerful enough to run efficient VR and to tell ya the truth I don't think it can. The PS4 Pros updgraded GPU with tflop processing power of 4.20 is needed for sure! The more powerful hardware in the Pro that allows "checkered board rendering" is also needed for sure! this processing technique helps assist the GPU in making high quality renders which is required for 4k resolution, HDR, and 120htz VR games that run at 60fps per eye......... so when people and Sony say u can get by with the stock ps4... yea sure u can... but good luck lol.... overtime as the games get better they will require more GPU processing power.
When it is all said and done, the PS VR is an awesome piece of technology that has opened up my gaming eyes to a new world of gaming! Yes, this is tech a beta phase for VR, people who buy the headsets now are tech beta testers lol but that's fine with me I have to have the latest technology anyway. I hope we get a massive push in game development from Sony to continue the success of the PS VR. Like I said before, just wait for the price to go back to $399.99 before you get it! It is well worth it at that price but for $500.00 or more.... no it is not worth it! I have only had this for 3 days, but I will continue to update this as I play more VR games. I am happy with my purchase besides the fact it came in an opened box..... and I would recommend this to any gamer out there who needs to experience VR!!

Unfortunately not for me (and I just threw up...) - UPDATE: Took another shot, getting used to it.
10/14/16 ORIGINAL ImpressionsUnfortunately not for me. I'm 1hr in and think this is going to be the most returned Sony item ever. It's super cool, no denying that. It works pretty well and truly immerses you in the system. Graphics are marginal compared to what today's gaming world is used to but taking the whole system into account it's pretty descent. I went through a few demos and felt fine and was impressed but not driven to keep playing. Then I tried DriveClub demo, almost threw up in 2min from motion sickness. Once I bumped a car or wall it beat me up pretty good motion sick wise (full disclosure, it do get motion sick from time to time in cars or planes, this was way too much for me, perhaps you will fare better. The unit is comfortable but the wire is a pain, I clipped it to my pants to keep from pulling on my head. I feel like it would be an incredible way to watch an exploration type documentary/movie. Overall for me, it's just way too much. I would be more happy playing Call of Duty on a screen. Amazing technology, hats off to those that designed it but sadly, I can't handle it and frankly am not sure I would have loved it if I could. I will be returning.10/17/16 UPDATEI took the advice of the comments and other reviews prior to returning. I played for another hour or so on less motion intensive games. I was able to handle a number of them. Wife and Son took a shot at it and both liked it. Looks like I'm keeping it. I moved from 3 stars to 4. I'm still not ready for 5. I wish the graphics where more crisp. I enjoy the total gaming situation less as the three of us used to play games together and pass off the controller. With the VR attached the TV/Screen view isn't that hot so it's much more a single player / spectator activity. All in all it's a marvel of technology. It will be interesting to see how it evolves.
