I will be.

Of course we will.

I have faith the games will be there very soon. Golem and Adrift are enough to sell me on it. (The former in particular because of the people involved.) I've thoroughly enjoyed many VR demos at this point, and I find VR itself amazing. I want a longer version of the three- or four-minute experiences I've already had.

I would say I played Adrift for about 10 minutes. It of all the VR games I've played probably has the most potential to be great.

I tried the Virtual Boy before (not) buying it. That was the right call.

I think I don't want to pre-order anything that might not fit my head, might not accommodate my glasses, and might make me vomit if I use it.

Don't blame you for wanting to try it. The PSVR has won praise for being the most comfortable. It's designed to accommodate glasses. Of primary concern to developers is preventing sickness, but of course there's never a guarantee for something like that.

make me vomit if I use it.

Oh, man!

That's going to be the best part!

Anyone else snag a PSVR today?

I'm surprised at how many people here are actually pre ordering one.

Consider that the Oculus launch titles were pretty much panned by most gaming publications. (As arstechnica puts it, Quantity over Quality). I don't know, I just see no reason to preorder and not just buy it when the games are there.

If nothing else, I've got an iMAX-sized screen I can watch at home. I think VR is going to be big, and I don't want to miss a minute of it.

So with lead development shifting so quickly to PC, I can see why Sony & Microsoft would want their consoles to be able to get a little closer to PC performance. Right now, they're just so far behind.

There's a difference between "being capable of" and doing 4k graphics.

Very true. We can barely do 1080p as it is. Look at how many games still upscale. 1080p upscales very well to 4K. You are better off putting that extra power into better effects / shaders / etc than an increase in resolution. I would even be thrilled if you could go 60fps instead of 30fps, but that would also depend on whether the CPU gets boosted too.

They already do that. They did it with the XBox 360 when they upgraded all of the hardware from the base model. They made it sleeker and added wifi.

Which is fine in my book, I'm concerned about the PS4k having better graphics and splitting the market that way. AFAIK the 360 kept the same performance, just updated hardware.

There's a difference between "being capable of" and doing 4k graphics. If they can focus that increase in power towards processing and improved performance, It would mitigate any split in playerbase. I feel like devs would focus on stuff like draw distance, loading times, graphical settings, and such. Games like War Thunder, Warframe, and Planetside 2 (IIRC) already allow a wealth of graphical/performance options. PS4K would allow people to activate ALL the things. We don't need 4k anything.

EDIT: And there dang well better not be any PS4k exclusive games.

I think it ultimately comes down to personal preference how long you want your purchase to last you, so there isn't a "perfect" amount of time.

I bought my PS4 a year after launch (late 2014), and I'd like it to last at least a couple more years before I have to think about upgrading. If a newer console launches in that time, I'm fine with that as long as there's a reasonable period of cross-generation games.

Well, I bought it because... fan boy. ;-)
